They areconsidered “value-added” skills which are essential to a person’s career. Discussion ofprofessional skills begins by listing broad categories, such as Doyle [25] proposes.

Although studies of gender and teamwork have been instrumental in understanding theexperience of women in engineering, the studies presented in the previous section were notconducted at HSIs. Increasingly, scholars have recognized the particular experiences of “thedouble bind,” which is defined as the experiences of women of color or underrepresentedminority women, including African Americans, Latinas, and Native Americans in STEM, whoare “consistently underrepresented at advanced education and career in most fields relative toWhite women and men of any color” [23, pp. 173].

Undergraduate Engineering Outreach 1MotivationWhen undergraduate engineering students participate in various forms of community outreachthrough an ambassador-style group, the mission is often to promote engineering and engineering-related careers to K-12 students and their families, and increase interest in engineering amonghistorically underserved populations. Yet, the preparation and delivery of outreach activities mayalso impact the undergraduate students. In this Work in Progress paper we present the earlyfindings of a project seeking to identify common practices among university-based, ambassadorprograms, with a view to informing communities of researchers and practitioners. We exploredthree questions [1]: (1) What similarities and differences are

In 2012, an ASME survey of 590 early career engineers foundthat 75 percent assessed their own preparation of engineering writing as sufficient or strong [6].In that same ASME study, a survey of 42 heads of mechanical engineering departments acrossthe United States found that 65 percent viewed their communication programs as strong orsuccessful at preparing engineering students to communicate.

As a means of checks and balances, this tool’s purported usebecame a way to navigate through qualitative research in a manner that acknowledged therelationship between the researcher as an instrument and the processing of information over thecourse of research projects [8]. This navigation can be conceptualized in practices such as fieldtexts and reflections before, after, and during interaction with research participants as a means toshow proof of consideration of positionality, specifically for communities of color [9].

My focus through most of my career has been on Chemical Process Safety, Environmental, Health and Safety, and, Air Pollution En- gineering. These fields draw on virtually every part of chemical engineering, but they also draw heavily on other disciplines, including social justice and law, leading to programs that are heavily multidisci- plinary. Also, my experience has spanned many types of industries, from traditional chemical companies, to electronics and microelectronics, to pulp and paper, metal foundries, and even wineries and breweries.
