Thereare 367 female undergraduate students majoring in civil engineering, 236 femaleundergraduate students majoring in mechanical engineering, 170 majoring inchemical and materials engineering, 125 majoring in aerospace engineering, and 103majoring in industrial engineering.In the College of Engineering, all students matriculate directly into engineeringmajors. There is no common first-year program. There is one class that is optional forfirst-time freshman titled Engineering, Society and You which covers differentengineering majors and jobs correlated to those majors. It is offered as a lecture classand a lab class. In the lab class, the students work together to

broadening participation.Diversity of EngineeringOne of our program objectives is to highlight the diversity of engineering for the campparticipants. By highlighting the diversity of engineering, we intend to expose students to avariety of industries engineers engage with to demonstrate how engineering can be connected totheir interests. As a result, we want students to understand that engineering occurs beyond thestereotypical industries (e.g. automotive or aerospace). To support this goal, we use severaldesign elements. First, we hire a staff from a variety of engineering backgrounds. On the firstday of camp, we engage in staff introductions that include the staffs discipline expertise andshort summary of their future career goals. Next, we

For example, there were large disciplinary differences among thepercentage of faculty who integrated SJ issues into their courses, ranging from a high of 61% offaculty teaching HSS courses for engineering students down to 9% in mechanical engineeringand none of the faculty teaching aerospace engineering students [26]. While interesting, theseresults failed to provide information on the common ways that faculty integrated SJ issues intotheir teaching practices.Research QuestionsThe questions explored in this study are: How
