climate change effects their motivations and agency to solve complex global problems for a sustainability in their career.Dr. Allison Godwin, Purdue University, West Lafayette Allison Godwin, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Engineering Education at Purdue University. Her research focuses what factors influence diverse students to choose engineering and stay in engineering through their careers and how different experiences within the practice and culture of engineering foster or hinder belongingness and identity development. Dr. Godwin graduated from Clemson University with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and Ph.D. in Engineering and Science Education. She is the recipient of a 2014 American Society for Engineering

As a result, the study of disability fractured, oftenhighlighting conflicts between academic and professional interests4. At its foundation, the goal ofour Introduction to Disability Studies course is to bridge the chasm between theories andresearch in disability studies and

We leverageresearch grounded in professional identity and cognitive design processes to study impacts ofcurriculum designed to address student persistence through, or indifference toward, uncertaintyin creative practice.

system of higher education, performancemetrics and institutional competition have permeated deeply into the conduct of academicorganizations. Their effects can be seen operating at faculty level, although public fundingremains a highly political process in that state.Unfortunately, the expansion of performance-based metrics has had a disproportionate impact onengineering education because many of the measures designed to determine allocations, such asfour year graduation rates, are not compatible with engineering education’s math-science heavycurricula. The related issue of retention, as compounded by increasingly diverse student bodiesand their diverse preparation, also frustrate engineering educators’ efforts to meet state

In recent years, the study of transitions has attracted renewed interest frompolicy makers and researchers in the light of changing labor market patterns, the diverse transitionpathways of young people, the transformation of professional knowledge, and an increasingdisjuncture between students’ academic training and the specific skillsets sought by employers [1, 2,3].

To address this gap, we present a review ofrelevant research to develop a working definition and identify links between engineeringjudgment, situated cognition, and identity production as a step toward informing engineeringpedagogy. We argue that the exploration of engineering judgment should be grounded at theintersection of decision making, cognition, and identity because, as the literature suggests,engineering judgment is reflected in the decisions engineers make throughout their work,depends on cognitive processes of both individuals and groups, and is embodied in authoritativeprofessional communication tasks

A body of researchin psychology indicates that students from these marginalized groups may have qualitativelydifferent group work experiences compared to others, which may contribute to their self-selection from engineering and thus their group’s under-representation in engineering fields.Recent research suggests that the negative experiences of people from marginalized groups onengineering student design teams can influence many factors that contribute to persistence andsuccess, such as development of

Students’ wish for authenticityis lightly at odds with students’ wishes for interesting topics; students who proposed improvedtopics seemed to want opportunities to use writing as a vehicle to discuss, imagine

It is in aposition to destroy man; it may even be in a position to save him,” Olmstead‟s committeeadopted the stance that it was necessary to completely rethink how schools approached theliberal education of engineers. Students were to be trained to understand the role of technology“within the total human culture,” and to control its adverse effects.

Women’s experiences in engineering design teams has been the subject of a number ofstudies, with several studies noting that women’s experiences in teams could potentially“recreate sexist environments already found in the university environment for undergraduatewomen if they are not properly managed” [28, pp. 82]. Negative experiences in teams (not beingaccepted, heard, or respected by her peers) could have significant long-term impacts, i.e., it couldbe the difference between staying or abandoning engineering after graduation. During teamwork activities, students negotiate their identities, status, and authenticity.[29] showed that gender is a
