CONCLUSIONA strong STEM workforce is contingent on developing policies, programs, and initiatives thatwork to provide equitable access and opportunities for all students, especially those fromunderrepresented and underserved communities. This commitment to diversifying the STEMworkforce will require deep commitment at all levels. Regardless of policy or reform efforts todrive significant change in the STEM fields, faculty members have a tremendous influence inshaping the engineering landscape. As such, the active recruitment and mentoring by facultyadvisors is critical in engaging underrepresented students in research

To use a spoon, the person may need to like the color; and the material ofthe blade must be strong enough for an endurance task. Because design decisions areconsequential, undergraduate engineering programs have a responsibility to prepare students asdecision makers.Capstone design courses allow undergraduate engineering students to experience open-endeddesign projects before starting their professional careers. As such, capstone serves as anopportunity to develop students’ ability to make decisions in an ill-structured setting.

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
