Engineering Students Through an Intersectional LensAbstractHigh-impact academic experiences, particularly research and internship experiences, havepositive impacts for engineering students on engineering task self-efficacy (ETSE), a measure ofstudents’ perception of their ability to perform technical engineering tasks. However, under-represented racial/ethnic minority students (URM) and women in engineering are found to haverelatively lower self-perceptions across several academic and professional self-efficacymeasures. Previous studies examined the impact of research and internship experiences on ETSEfor students categorized by gender and URM status separately. The current study explores theimpact of these experiences on ETSE for the intersection

Minorities in Engineering

engineering.ConclusionIn engineering, HC is not well understood, including its mechanisms or potential constructs. Toour knowledge, there is no research that has attempted to explore the mechanisms and potentialconstructs behind HC in engineering. In this work, the authors have summarized some potentialconsiderations and constructs that can be measured for the exploration of HC in engineering.Collectively, the considerations posit that HC identification is central and could be tied to anindividual’s emotions, self-efficacy, and self-advocacy. It is believed that when individualsexperience scenarios, via vignettes, that center around HC in engineering, they can identify the HCthrough a frame of reference that can enable them to respond and react to the witnessed

2015In total, 25 papers were nominated by 21 divisions and four Zones for consideration for BestDiversity Paper, 2015. There were six finalists invited to present; these papers were from the K-12, First Year Programs, Liberal Education/Engineering and Society, Mechanical Engineering,Entrepreneurship and Engineering Innovation, and Multidisciplinary Engineering Divisions. Thetop papers presented at the conference included an exploration of changes in Latinx adolescents’perceptions of engineering self-efficacy and of engineering during a community-basedengineering design experience [3], a baseline study on how engineering students identify asengineers and how they view the importance of diversity in engineering, [4], anautoethnographic study of
