They critique the common claim that underrepresented minoritiesare an untapped resource to improve capitalism as it ignores other reasons such as personal andprofessional efficacy. Building on their past research, they provide the following example toillustrate the experience of a Black engineering student in the United States:RUNNING HEAD: Manufacturing pathways “…as a student, if you have a bad experience and you don’t feel like your presence is even wanted, never mind improving the situation, you want out of the environment, because it’s toxic. So take a person like me – I could do a lot of good around here. I don’t want to be here. Not because I don’t want to

We developed a semi-structured focus group protocol to gain insightsinto the content, character, and complications associated with efforts to develop Research EngineerIdentity (REI) among graduate students in general and students from underrepresented groups inparticular. Before the focus groups began, we facilitated a “twenty statements test” to elicit the salience ofself-meanings associated with being a research engineer. Participants were asked to write down the firsttwenty things that came to mind in response to the following question: “As an engineer that conductsresearch, I am someone who…”. Next, we briefly informed participants about the overall goal of the study

mind a potentialexplanation. If women did feel threatened by stereotypes of women being less capable, theymight also avoid confirming the stereotype by avoiding saying no to tasks. Stereotype threat as aframe for these time-management challenges is also supported by its paradoxical nature: womenface more time management challenges perhaps because they try to avoid the stereotype of beingless competent.These scenarios also bring to mind these questions: How valued is the engineering woman’stime? How hard do these women have to work to prove their value? The previous research intothe engineering workplace would suggest that women must work harder to prove the value oftheir work if engineering is seen as “gender inauthentic.” Another way to frame

We are exploring the idea of professors using inclusive teaching methods to helpstudents succeed in ECE classes. We are defining inclusive teaching methods as initiatinginteractions with students in class or office hours intended to improve their capacity, interest, orbelongingness in engineering (as defined on the tip sheet). In other words, inclusive teachinginvolves bringing typical mentoring strategies into the classroom on a smaller scale. The tipsheet gives many examples of these strategies. • So that we can get your understanding of the definition, what are some examples that come to mind when you think of inclusive

Forexample, the unwelcoming climate that women face in the engineering through micro-aggression andimplicit bias is a factor.

To work towardgender parity, Diekman et al. suggest “interventions… [to] demonstrate how STEM fieldsinvolve “helping” and collaborating with other people” as a way to increase the involvement ofwomen and communal-minded people in STEM more generally4. One potential strategy may befor engineering programs to highlight that many disciplines within engineering have the potentialto meet communal goals, moving beyond those already seen to be female-dominated.

The most common reported reasons forstudents to change majors was an experience during their first year of engineering study(commonly major exploration opportunities provided through the FYE courses) that inspiredthem and/or interest in job opportunities within their selected field. It was unclear if majorcertainty was impacted by specific events, as there was no clear delineation between majorcertainty, student classifications, and specific events.The results of the surveys provided to participants in the mentored FYE design projects indicatedthat the projects were not instrumental in changing students’ minds about their
