Cooper’s part time service in the Air Forces Reserves provided him acontinuing source of support— social, emotional, and financial— upon being discharged fromactive duty and entering college. The fact that he turned to re-activation and deployment whenthings got too stressful at home and school suggests that the transition from active duty (i.e., full-time military) to full-time student may be emotionally stressful and disorienting. Cooper’smilitary experience did not reflect the stereotypical veteran experience of combat and trauma.Rather his service, focused in a technical specialty related to aviation and space, reinforced hislong-term interests in pursuing an aerospace engineering career.

They continue “feminist post-structuralism troubles the binarycategories male and female, making visible the constitutive force of linguistic practices, anddismantling their apparent inevitability” [34 p. 321]. Without a frame that looks to gender toinform practice and reality, there is no way to uncover the dichotomy that exists within the fieldof engineering.Dual IdentityThe subjectivity espoused by Feminist Poststructuralism is reflected in the ideas of a dualidentity. People, in particular women in STEM, are subjected to factors outside of the “norm.”The notion of double consciousness is applied to women in

Teachers reflected on students’ developing a sense of autonomy and persistence as learners. “I can give them a question on a test pretty much for anything for the year and it's not like, "Well, this wasn't going to be on the test so this isn't fair" because they now expect that anything they've learned is fair game throughout the whole year, so that has been a huge help for me,” noted one respondent. Another teacher offered, “When I give them a test, I can put a spiral question on there and again it's not like, “Well, I'm not answering it because this wasn't on the review sheet.” And especially in math, I can give them a deeper level question where it's not a simple equation that they might have just

The different experiences of first-generationcompared to continuing-generation college students were further captured by interview questionsthat asked students to think back to experiences/activities they engaged in as children oradolescence and determine if they now see them as engineering related experiences.

The reform is motivated by research that relates thedevelopment of higher-level capabilities such as systems thinking, communication skills, ethicalstandards, and critical thinking to students’ success in the workforce [5]. It also addresses callsfor greater emphasis on complex, open-ended design problems reflecting work done byprofessional engineers [6].Such tasks contrast with more typical school worksheets that require an algorithmic applicationof course concepts, with an emphasis on reaching a single correct solution through an instructor-determined solution path

Specifically, we sought to investigate how design challenges that arecontextual, current, relevant, and reflective of professional practice can support students toengage in ethical reasoning by being scaffolded to consider diverse stakeholder needs. Thedesign challenges were not client driven, but were specifically developed to have an authenticfeel and clear stakeholders. To guide our investigation, we posed the following questions: 1. What kinds of ethical reasoning do students demonstrate in their final project pitches? 2. Do the kinds of ethical reasoning vary by design challenge type (community-focused versus entrepreneurial)?Setting
