Ibarra [13] hassummed up the definition of Schein [14] as professional identity to be the “relatively stable andenduring constellation of attributes, values, motives, and experiences in terms of which peopledefine themselves in a professional role”. Ibarra also stated that professional identity is “moreadaptable and mutable early in one’s career”. It is not only what one wants to be, but also thatpeers, supervisors and subordinates must validate this identity [15, p.68]. Competence,performance and recognition as dimensions of identity have been reported by Carlone and Johnson[16].One important dimension of STEM identity is

Engineering Technology Education. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Introducing Middle School Girls to Engineering Design and Manufacturing Activities at STEM Girls’ Summer CampIntroductionDuring the past decade, STEM-oriented education and activities have proved to enhance middleschool students’ interest in subjects usually perceived as difficult, such as mathematics andscience. Also, STEM fields tend to engage students in the learning process, giving them the skillsand competencies needed for future careers. Despite the overall efforts to include STEMsubjects, the engineering component is almost missing in most middle school curricula across thenation. Moreover, students from

Homework for a Large Gateway Engineering ClassAbstract“Tell me and I will forget, teach me and I will remember, involve me and I will learn”. Thispowerful quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin is the cornerstone for the study presented in thispaper. Teaching and Learning engineering is not an easy task, especially for large size gatewaycourses. Engineering education researchers agree that a purely traditional lecture-based learningenvironment does not adequately prepare students to succeed in the collaborative andchallenging environment existing in engineering careers. Same researchers emphasize the needof incorporating high impact learning practices to help students to succeed. This study presentssome very promising results of incorporating

Judging types prefer structure, order, and a task-orientation, whileperceiving types prefer an open and flexible approach. No personality type is considered to bebetter than another; it is just a tool to help individuals know more about their strengths, weaknesses,likes, dislikes, compatibility with other people and even possible career preferences. A study doneby the ASEE-MBTI Consortium in 1980 showed that the majority of engineering students tend tohave thinking and judging personality types and often they are introverted [2-3].

And although there are no strict rules prohibiting women from working outside, Muslimwomen and their families typically prefer an indoor job environment versus outdoor [11], [15].

The survey seeks to determine if student perception of a sharedspace with other major fields of student was more inclusive. Further, the survey seeks to identifywhether students feel more included when in a smaller group which is defined as their majorcohort. An interesting juxtaposition is the need for interdisciplinary work especially for studentswho will work professionally in teams, while also encouraging a cohort which can result inhigher grades, increased course completion and graduation retention rates (Goldman 2012).For students in architecture, construction and certain engineering careers
