Paper ID #28376Intersection of Race and Gender of Leadership Formation of UndergraduateEngineering StudentsProf. Carmen M. Lilley, University of Illinois at Chicago Dr. Lilley’s research interests in engineering education focus on professional development of engineering students at the undergraduate and graduate level. In particular, she is interested in the nuances of how the intersection of race/ethnicity with gender affects professional development in the area of leadership and the long term career trajectory of an individual. Her other research interests are focused on syntheses of low dimensions materials and the
“goals,” which was contained in thequestions across three of the factors. Interestingly, the factors of (i) time management and (ii)conflict resolution were not statistically significant. In future surveys, questions will need to beadded to show whether the NILA leadership framework and curriculum elevates the professionals’self-efficacy in these areas. To decide if these factors connect with the model requires intentionalinclusion of specific questions of the leadership framework, specifically including those onpersonal career goals. When using the students’ EFA factors, we saw the same factor variance trend in theprofessional self-efficacy.

United States with morethan 11 thousand members. For more than 30 years, SHPE organized and hosted its premier, three-day leadership conference in the first week of August, known today as the National Institute forLeadership Advancement (NILA). As part of NILA, SHPE chapters send one of their electedrepresentatives, typically the chapter president, to be developed into a leader. After attendingNILA, the representatives, now leaders, would lead their chapter leadership and members towarda successful post-graduation transition into the STEM workforce (students) and career upward-mobility and positive impact within the Hispanic community (professionals). Throughout the first half of the past decade, NILA’s curriculum and overall design

Therefore, STEM students willrequire an academic career that develops and nurtures their professional skills far beyondtechnical skills, thus ensuring success in such competitive work environments. This isespecially true for international, women, first-generation STEM students, andunderrepresented minorities in STEM education, who must overcome additional barriers tosucceed. To understand the current status, priorities and deficiencies in presentation skills, abenchmark survey was administered to 320 STEM students to understand theirunderstandings of presentation skills. Afterward, a pilot study measured students’communication skills development in two construction management courses, byimplementing a lecture-based

To address this broad objective, weapplied the logic of an input-environment-outcome framework to organize data collection andanalysis. In addition to considering relationships between children's background characteristicsand experiences within SEEK with their post-camp outcomes, the framework emphasizes theinfluence of organizational contexts on shaping children’s learning experiences. We consideredthree major components of organizational context in comparing sites: 1) Local

For these first-year students, they are experiencing this 60-minute program as part of their ENGR102 course - early in their college careers during a time when many crave community-building. When we devised this program in 2019, we saw a need to build morecommunity at our school - and little did we know that this need would be even more ofa priority just a few months later.An RE3 presentation to first-year engineering students in ENGR 102 consists ofabout 60 minutes of story-related activities and story sharing. The content for thepresentation was developed over the summer collaboratively among student trainersand faculty; a template

Affirmations can also help break down barriers betweenthe student and staff/ faculty when students hear that their worth is valued and recognized.In the participants own words, they have learned new ways of being and conversing with students: “This course was life changing. It has changed how I relate with other people. I feel much morecomfortable having difficult conversations with students and am learning to identify change talk.I have heaps still to learn and practice, but I feel confident that I will keep improving my skillsover time.” “It completely changed the way I think about and approach conversations withstudents.” “Discovering a better method to have awkward conversations.” “I still need to practicemy skills, but it

that the interaction of gender and thedevelopment of engineering identity is complex and multilayered and that it requiresunderstanding of how women and men develop understanding of what engineering identity is.Jorgenson examines the construction of engineering identities among female students [17] andfinds that many of the participants of the study were reluctant to acknowledge that genderrelations have any consequences in their career. Women who were interviewed for this studystrongly identified themselves with their career but acknowledged the male environment theyworked in was challenging. Many mentioned having to prove themselves before they were takenseriously as professionals. However, they strongly associated themselves with the notion

Are there thoughts making it mandatory campus wide?Depending upon the setting, workshops are required or voluntary. For example, some workshops are presented within classes and thus are required for students (participation grades, attendance, etc.). Other workshops are embedded into existing structures such as grad student orientation. Some of the workshops are currently being embedded into classes and thus will be required of all students at various stages throughout their college career

Additionally, we pursued exploratoryanalyses to investigate other dimensions that may correlate with academic success.
