Unique to ourversion of user-centered design is that interwoven throughout the semester are issues of diversity,inclusion, and social justice.

Developmental stages of Self-Authorship (after [9]).Without an intentional intervention, most undergraduate students — and even college graduates— define themselves through external formulas, rather than self-authoring their beliefs [11] -[15] [9] [6]. However, evidence shows that with appropriate support, this can be changed. Thereare several types of experiences that produce higher degrees of self-authorship amongundergraduates [16] [17]. These include experiencing dissonance in academic settings, beingchallenged to evaluate knowledge claims and take ownership of beliefs, encountering diverseperspectives, and addressing tragedy or complex personal relationships.

Interest Levels of Male versus Female Students going into STEM Fields (Evaluation)IntroductionThe fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, also known as STEM, haveexperienced rapid growth in terms of their importance and the demand for qualified graduates[1]. STEM careers provide an essential driving force behind new innovations and growth in theUnited States. STEM fields have seen a job growth rate three times that of non-STEM careers,and are continuing to grow [2]. Despite efforts to increase the number of STEM graduates, TheUnited States is struggling to supply enough qualified workers to fulfill these demands. TheUnited States is facing a problem as students’ interest, and therefore literacy in STEM has

Therefore, the inability to retain students who could becomedegreed, practicing engineers has a detrimental impact on society as a whole. Retention ofstudents who are interested in a career in engineering is therefore a way to both reduceexpenditure of resources and while also increasing the supply of skilled workers for tomorrow’sjob market.II.

Today there are many more female engineers than there were 30 years ago, so it iseasier for girls to aspire to the role, although still a male-dominant occupation.For women in male-dominant occupations, there is an implicit connotation of masculinityinherent in the roles, such that their gender roles might be conflicted if their psychosocialorientation is not consistent with the expectations and culture of masculine occupations,particularly if
