, increasing their motivation tolearn and persist when faced with failure or challenges, and they further develop an engineeringmindset. Consistent with the most recent Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET) [11], makerspaces may increase the ability to meet the expected student outcomes forengineering preparation programs [8]. Thus, makerspaces can be used to increase students’ability to apply STEM knowledge, conduct experiments, analyze the outcomes of thoseexperiments, work within constraints, work in teams, understand engineering as service tosociety, and understand their professional and ethical responsibilities. It is important to keep inmind many engineers working in large companies may never directly create a prototype as
the intersection of learning science, computer science, and user science can inform effective and innovative uses of educational technologies. He is also interested in how engineering education can better prepare future engineers to consider the human elements and impacts of their work, particularly with respect to more equitable and inclusive outcomes.Dr. Nadia N.

Engineering education research has not typically addressedracism directly, yet it is the root of all racial barriers and negative experiences. With this project,we aim to add depth to workplace research through narrative analysis of both the structural andindividual acts of racism affecting the experiences of Black engineers.MethodologyThis work in progress is part of a larger narrative analysis project aimed at investigating theworkplace experiences of Black engineers in the technology industry [15].

percentage of students graduating with engineering degrees in theU.S. compared to the rest of the world. This creates a shortage of skilled engineers required tokeep pace with the rest of the world in terms of technological and industrial development.Therefore, there is a significant emphasis on improving engineering education in the UnitedStates. For instance, in a report by the U.S. National Academy of Engineering titled “Educatingthe engineer of 2020” [4], it was recommended that engineering education be reinvented. Thesame report discussed the importance of understanding the students’ learning challenges anddevising better pedagogical approaches to improve engineering education.

themes such as Future, Things Work, andImprovement. One student response remarked “wondering what could be improved, andimagining the possibilities with future technology is amazing and drives all brilliant inventions”.Student responses also show a correlation with exploring contrarian views in themes like TryNew Things, Hands-On, and Interest. A student response that reflected these ideas conveyed“just knowing that there's so much in the world that's undiscovered is what interests me in[engineering]”. It can be inferred that Curiosity aids students in exploring their surroundings, andinspiring them to learn about and help the world around them.ImplicationsThese results have several implications for how instructors and curriculum designers
in perceptions of female facultybetween students who attended gender-segregated schools, which are common amongst the localpopulation, and those who graduated from international schools. Finally, religion is expected toinfluence student perceptions because of certain rules and regulations in Islam – the most popularreligion in the Middle East – that restrict mixed-gender interactions.The results may shed light on the potential impact of female faculty on engineering students,especially female students. Based on the results, universities in the region may rethink theirfaculty model to better cater to the needs of students. The study may also encourage females inthe region to pursue a teaching career in Science, Technology, Engineering, or
