For this group of students, adaptingto the style of teaching—and the way of learning promoted by the institute and thecollege—required some adjustment. They described their first year tutors as extremelyhelpful and supportive—as people they frequently visited with questions. All the womenin the sample stayed

Whileconducting the interview, he attempted to maintain a neutral posture but his background may haveinfluenced the probing questions that he chose to ask and the topics that he chose to clarify. During dataanalysis, he was especially careful not to project his personal feelings onto the data and to accurately portraythe views of the participants to the best of his abilities. Once the data were coded, all three authors met tolisten to the coded audio data, identify emergent codes, and to discuss the findings. The three authors havedifferent academic roles (non-tenure-track faculty, tenured faculty, and administration) which strengthenedthe data analysis.III. ResultsThe

He also has assisted both the campus as well as the local community in developing technology programs that highlight student skills development in ways that engage and attract individuals towards STEAM and STEM fields by showcasing how those skills impact the current project in real-world ways that people can understand and be involved in. As part of a university that is focused on supporting the 21st century student demographic he continues to innovate and research on how we can design new methods of learning to educate both our students and communities on how STEM and STEAM make up

It introducesstudents to strategies for identifying the needs, capabilities and behaviors of a user group, anddeveloping designs that reflect the empathy gained for the user group to address their needs. Itincludes iterative design methods to elicit user requirements, generate alternative designs,develop low-fidelity prototypes, and evaluate designs from the perspective of the users. Theculminating course project involves students developing relationships with and designing anengineering innovation that meets the needs of users in the

the 2015 Best Diversity Paper.Mejia, et al., [3] presented a paper nominated by the K-12 and Pre-College Engineering Divisionexploring Latinx adolescents’ perceptions of engineering and their engineering abilities afterparticipation in community-based design projects. Students were from working class familiesand most had parents with limited education who worked in farming or other manual laboractivities. The adolescents, ages 14-17, worked in teams to identify a problem in theircommunity and to use engineering design to solve the problem. Most of the participants changedboth their perceptions of engineering as well as their self-efficacy as they worked on theseprojects. The design experience influenced participants’ perceptions of

The engineers discussed severalissues in their narratives including lack of diversity and support for minorities in the workplace.Through this project we would like to help others gain a better understanding of the experiencesof Black engineers in the technology industry. The results gained from this project will be usedto make diversity issues in the workplace more apparent to senior officials in companies so thatthey can reconsider the way they approach diversity.IntroductionIn recent years there has been increasing scrutiny on diversity within the computer andinformation technology industry.

I was aware we were designing for a person, but I didn’t think it needed to be that finely ingrained into the design process. I guess, yeah, that’s one way that … what was it, difference, how people thought differently about engineering. I’ve taken that obviously like you can’t afford not to take that and adopt it to your own type of engineering because that amount of information is way too valuable.This quote is another example of how Nathan described how there are various ways of thinkingin engineering that are complementary to one another.
