. Although they are mostly working outside of theinstitutional setting, especially as they work to establish alternative space and practices outside ofthe dominant discourse, the work and motivations of both feminist hacker collectives and opensource science hardware communities have implications for thinking through how to organizeand enact real-world change in terms of pedagogy, design, and more deeply weaving ethics andexplicit value-systems into engineering education and practice.In a previous paper, we sought lessons for change in engineering education from movements notonly within science and technology cultures, but also within higher education institutionalsettings. Prior higher education change movements we examined include the efforts to

U.S.filled in 47% of all jobs but only 24% of the STEM jobs [6]. In other words, 76% of the STEMjobs are held by men. In community services, women had a volunteer rate of 27.8% in 2015compared to men 21.8%. Women volunteered at a higher rate than men and this was true acrossall age groups, educational levels, and major demographics characteristics (such as race andemployment status) [7].Influence is closely associated with leadership. A capable leader provides guidance at theworkplace, home, and/or community [8]. It follows that, those influencing are consideredefficient leaders that motivate their colleagues, family or community [9, 10]. Transformativeleadership idealizes influence which reflect standards of moral and ethical conduct; it

experience males may have gleaned from tinkering with computers as teens [30].The first-year course also integrates discussions of societal and ethical issues related to computerscience. Larger increases in the number of bachelor’s degrees earned by women and distributionacross disciplines have remarkably changed gender diversity for a number of disciplines. Thisultimately produces some disciplines that are criticized for low participation of women andrelatively slow progress and others where an equivalent and declining participation of men garnersrelatively little attention or action. It seems possible that focusing on careers for some disciplines,and not for others, may in itself change the perception of those topics for students who

roles [3]. Almost three million Americanchildren and 800,000 adult members currently participate in the Girl Scouts of the USA [4]. Theorganization annually runs the cookie program, which is focused on the development of five keybusiness and leadership skills: 1) goal-setting; 2) decision-making; 3) money management; 4)people skills; and 5) business ethics [5]. However, some recent studies compared the gendermessages in Girl Scout and Boy Scout handbooks and noted that boys were exposed to moreactivities that are based on scientific content [2], although engineering badges have beenimplemented in the Girl Guides of Canada, ages 9-12, in 2003 by Ryerson University’s Womenin Engineering Committee [6]. As well, the Girls Scouts of USA councils

overwhelmed by theworkload, learning engineering theory, and social adjustment to campus life. Many of thesestudents encounter additional challenges such as differences in ethic/cultural values andsocialization, chilly classroom environments, perceived lack of faculty/advisor support,internalization of negative racial and gender stereotypes, and socio-economically disadvantagedbackground [2], [3], [4].Typically, postsecondary educational research focuses on one element of engineering studentssuch as gender or ethnicity; and fails to recognize the intersectionality of women of color. Thisis compounded by the fact that due to low participation, women of color in engineering areunderrepresented in research [2]. Qualitative research can provide a means
