of education is likely tolead to a career in an engineering related field, there is a clear need to understand the factorswhich influence female studentsdecisions to enroll in higher education engineering courses.There are many influences on students’ choices to pursue specific career paths. For example,how students conceive a particular discipline or career will influence this decision, as what theybelieve it to involve will likely affect their interest in engaging with it. In engineering, studentsoften have misconceptions regarding what it means to be an engineer and the Draw-an-EngineerTest (DAET) has frequently been used to investigate these misconceptions.Studies using DAET have found that young students typically conceive engineers

.” immediately upon graduation.”Placement and Structure in Formal CurriculumThe location of ESI in the formal curriculum can send certain messages in the hidden curriculum.ABET mandates that students in accredited programs demonstrate the attainment of ESIoutcomes [18], but departments and programs have significant autonomy over how thoseoutcomes are achieved. Decisions regarding how ESI is taught are the confluence of a range offactors such as curricular space, faculty expertise and teaching load, and university generaleducation requirements. These decisions have implications beyond the course setting in whichstudents receive formal exposure to these topics. An interviewee described his perspective on theimportance of placement in the curriculum. I

the Idea of a University [1]. In those discourses, he argued thatinteractions between students outside of the classroom are as important for learning as theclassroom. It is in the discussions they have that learning is accomplished. Newman was notreferring to engineering per se, but to mixed groups of students and he was concerned withlearning for life. The 1998 MIT task force report defined a community as a “…students,faculty members, staff and alumni who have come together on campus for the commonpurposes of developing the qualities that define an educated person” [27]. Such communitieshave the goal not only of learning but of helping the student to learn about himself/herself. Itshould be noted that Tacaks and Chambliss found that not all

They can be used to cover important elements of engineering that do notcome across in courses that emphasize engineering analysis or practical experience with a giventechnology. Stories that can be used to tell non-majors about engineering and technology canalso be used to show our majors why their course material is important and how it can be used.These accounts can be used to put the material in the larger systems context.In a traditional classroom setting, stories are often told in lectures.

. Despite this, the nation still struggles to produce the ENG talent it needs. Given this, programs to increase the number of ENGs that graduate have been promoted across the nation [1]-[3]. Such programs focus on recruitment [4], retention principles [5], persistence [6], as well as practices that help students with critical thinking [7]-[8], academics [9]-[10] and professional development [11]-[12]. The latter includes mentoring by faculty [13]-[14], peer mentoring [15], project-based learning [16]- [26], research experiences for undergraduates (REUs) [27]-[28], internships [29], preparing for graduate school [30], career planning [31], etc. We at Arizona State University’s (ASU’s) Fulton Schools of Engineering, have

In particular, studies show that enrollment, retention, and graduation rates ofengineering students from underrepresented populations (i.e., women, ethnic minorities) havehistorically been lower than those of other student populations.
