Methods Ethnography, a primary tool of anthropologists, is a common method used to understand culture from the perspective of insiders of that culture. Ethnographic methods include participant observation, field memos, autoethnography, interviews, and focus groups interviews.35, 36 The methodology of this paper is rooted in critical ethnography, which “begins with an ethical responsibility to address processes of unfairness or injustice within a particular lived domain”.21 Decolonizing Anthropology: For the scholar-activist doing qualitative work with the aim of ameliorating oppressive conditions, identity can act as a point of departure for theorizing. People with social identities that are underrepresented in institutions of power experience

to develop a research plan, ethics of research, and communicatingfindings and implications.Third year. Junior year brings a focus to service when students enroll in Service-Learning inSTEM. The learning objectives of the course include identifying a STEM-related communityneed and working collaboratively in teams to develop a solution. Year three is when studentsbegin their practical training in STEM, taking four credits selected from two of the followingfour areas: teaching, mentorship/leadership, research, and internship. These practicum coursesdevelop students’ career and research skills.Fourth year. Senior year promotes leadership. Women’s Leadership in STEM focuses onunderstanding leadership theory, identifying challenges of women in

for4-6 hours per week facilitated a sense of connection and community by creating a social supportnetwork that benefitted each participant academically. This was particularly notable since manystudents had to adjust to a rigorous academic workload in addition to college life itself. Onechemical engineering major commented on the helpful programmatic guidance and inspirationfrom students with strong work ethics and commitment: Being in WISE was very helpful, especially having another academic advisor to help you and participating in events that help you make your schedule for the following semester. Not only did I meet a lot of hard working students who encouraged me to improve my skills, but I made a lot of friends as

awareness ofengineering ethics 57. However, Hunkeler and Sharp58 did not find a significant effect of genderdistribution on group performance in their four-year study of a senior laboratory course. Lackey et al.21 found that journal score of a course predicted the first year GPA. Thecorrelation was stronger for men than women students, whose better predictor was high schoolGPA. The journal score represents student engagement, attitude, initiative, time managementskills, study habits, and willingness to persevere. Since women students, in general, do better onthose attributes, the authors believed that the journal score did not influence their GPA as muchas men students.Insight 3: There may not be any gender difference in creativity skills

dichotomy of relevant versus irrelevant, or fair versus unfair, frames the feelings of manyengineers when it comes to their treatment of ethics. Unlike many aspects of engineering ethicslooks mostly in hindsight, not at all with innovation. It is usually seen as a reaction to a crisis.This hindsight is framed by topics that were seen as unimportant, the first pillar of Cech’s theoryof disengagement [17]. The final pillar is prevalent in many undergraduate and graduateengineering departments to an extreme measure. Numerous studies have pointed to the need toweed out the weak students from undergraduate programs. This builds on the very foundations ofengineering education as a vocational degree for the brightest students. This overarching concernwith
