our larger research project was conducted in Spring 2018 viaemail with administrative assistants in engineering departments at ten research-intensiveuniversities across the United States. While over 800 participants completed a portion of the study,a total of N= 621 completed graduate students completed the entirety of the survey. Because thesurvey was long, completion was incentivized with a $5 Amazon.com gift card. A majority ofparticipants identified men (61.0%), 37.8 % identified as women, and 1.1% of participantsidentified as another gender or did not wish to answer. 49.3% of participants identified asWhite/Caucasian; 35.8% identified as Asian/Pacific Islander; 8.1% identified as Hispanic or LatinAmerican; 2.4% identified as African

Many of thehands on discovery activities (HODAs) in this course, such as Dog Biscuits & See Saws andMoon Balls [11], bring into the forefront some of the numerous benefits of system games. Theactivities demonstrate the operation of system structures in a simplistic format and thereby aid inunderstanding complex systems [11]. HODAs are incalculably beneficial to the participants asthey provide the opportunities to test a number of problem-solving strategies in a short span oftime, whereas large scale projects have reaction times of many months and the solutions requiretime to implement.

Let me suggest that the reader consider the following scenario that I hopewill be helpful for the reader to better understand the concept of dominant images. Let usimagine a scenario in which a Chinese engineering professor meets an American colleague on aflight. If the Chinese professor is interested in learning more about American engineeringeducation and ask the American professor to summarize some major defining characteristics ofAmerican engineering education, it is probably not surprising to imagine that the Americanprofessor will talk about concepts such as student-centered, project

inclusion and train students to create inclusive teams. Optimaldistinctiveness theory (ODT) is the psychological theory that we initially deemed useful forunderstanding belonging and inclusion in groups [1], [2]. ODT posits that people feel satisfiedwhen the groups they identify with fulfill both their need for inclusion and their need fordifferentiation [1], [3].Based on faculty experiences supervising team projects, we hypothesized that some students whoare marginalized on the basis of race, gender, or other forms of identity often have unbalancedneed fulfilment due to excessive distinctiveness and minimal similarity [4], [5]. This situationthwarts their need for inclusion, and triggers the unpleasant feeling of not belonging [6]–[9

First it increases the assessment pool to provide more statisticalreliability. The target assessments are easily trackable due to a well-maintained archive ofexaminations for comparisons of different courses laterally, and/or testing retention of the sameconcept longitudinally over time.

The data shown in this paper demonstrate that computingand engineering have made considerable progress in becoming more gender diverse, even if theprogress has not always been on a consistent trend for computing. In contrast, several importantand large disciplinary areas are on course to continue becoming less gender diverse, as theybecome increasingly tilted towards more women receiving degrees. Ready arguments to expressstrong concern for reducing male dominance of computing and engineering can be made alignedwith the high demand and projected continued high demand for STEM degrees and competitivelevels of compensation.

This role is traditionally fulfilled by the instructor, but could also be filled by otherstudents in a cooperative environment.
