Itfurther improves the students’ success in their academic study and future career. In the first twoweeks of the workshop, students participated in lectures, lab experiments, technologydemonstration, field trips, research lab visiting, and etc. Through these activities, studentparticipants had opportunities to develop hands-on experience on multiple novel technologiesand instrument, including ArcMap, ArcGIS Pro, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), GPS,Inducted Coupled Plasma Mass Spectroscopy (ICP-MS), and ASD spectroradiometer.

last number of years has therebeen a shift in the global mindset that sustainability thinking is not just a fringe idea, but that it plays animportant role in creating long-term economic health, the social stability of systems and protecting theecosystem services on which the world depends. According to the Association for the Advancement ofSustainability in Higher Education (AASHE), every college graduate today, regardless of major, will beimpacted by some aspect of sustainability in their future career [7]. Students of any major with someknowledge of sustainability principles will have an advantage in the job market.The job of universities is to educate and inspire students.

decision-making process or engaging in a task. Modern theories of motivation have been developed basedon beliefs, engagement, control, attribution, values, interest, goal-driven, and achievement-related choices [13]. Such theories have taken various approaches to understanding individuals’motivation.Expectancy-value theory of achievement motivationCurrently, the expectancy-value theory of motivation is one of the most used motivationalmodels to study students’ career choices in engineering [14]. Expectancy-value theory (Eccles etal., 1983) is considered the most influential theory for explaining students’ learning behavior andachievement-related choices [15]. The theory indicates that the students’ task choice and level ofengagement are driven by

Research with civil, environmental, andmechanical engineering students also finds that student perceptions of the connection betweensocial responsibility and engineering shape their decisions to stay in their majors, and thatwomen are more likely to leave engineering when they view those connections to be lacking andencounter decontextualized technical courses and unsupportive environments [2-3].

This researchgathered autoethnographic stories from three female faculty members in engineering, the authorsof this paper, who had also experienced gender bias in their teaching. This was then organizedinto a ”collective autoethnography”. The analysis and writing-up of the project were alsocompleted by the authors.

response to identification of these systemic issues, in 2001 the National Science Foundationlaunched Institutional Transformation grants as a new initiative in the ADVANCE program.Research planning grants and career advancement grants supporting individual women werephased out, and greater emphasis was placed on systemic change within academic institutions[33]. From a review of 37 ADVANCE institutional transformation initiatives from 2001 to 2008,Morimoto and coauthors argued that creating equity in gendered organizations must go wellbeyond articulating policy, beyond attending to the needs of individuals, and beyond workingtoward balanced gender composition among the ranks of faculty, all of which they characterizedas surface-level work [5].

Students who have reduced self-efficacy or do not exude confidence to otherscan also find themselves with more limited opportunities to productively work with others,which leads to a snowball effect and reduces confidence even further over the course of theundergraduate career. Low self-efficacy has been positively and significantly correlated to pooracademic performance and low persistence in a wide range of subjects and disciplines [26].Consistent feelings of being discouraged in a course are not simply about being in a bad mood,but instead are a handicap that, if not addressed, can carry over into other courses and into thestudent’s early career.

In engineering contexts identity has primarily been studied in undergraduate students andadults, in the contexts of career choices and retention of students within programs [5]. Sfard andPrusak [6] propose an idea of identity that is shaped around narratives. They posit that identitiesare the stories individuals and the people around them tell about themselves. Identities havemany facets, authors, and audiences. Self-perpetuating narratives of success and failure shapeidentity. Institutional narratives, such as success and failure in the school setting, are particularlyinfluential over the way a student may think about their identity [6].

Among womenin STEM majors, experiences of STEM-related gender bias have been found to be relatednegatively to their career aspiration and motivation to pursue vocational opportunities in STEM[6]. In addition to messages of being unwelcome in the field, women in STEM fields have alsobeen shown to encounter benevolent sexism (e.g., protective paternalism or genderdifferentiation) from their male peers [7]. This form of sexism has been linked with lower gradepoint averages (GPAs) in STEM courses [7].
