disabilities.Empathy, a trait that is less frequent in those with high analytical abilities like engineers, mayplay a role in ‘othering’ STEM students with disabilities and reluctance to provideaccommodations [41] [42].Disability at the current universityThe setting of our research is a growing research university located in the mid-Atlantic region. Ithas seen explosive growth since 2012 when it opened an MD-granting medical school and a yearlater acquired a second DO-granting medical school. The university is named after its benefactor,who provided a $100 million gift to strengthen the region’s engineering capacity. This giftspurred the creation of a College of Engineering that has six academic departments:Civil/Environmental Engineering (CEE), Chemical

Education, 2017 Benefits and Challenges of Transitioning to Community Service Multidisciplinary Capstone ProjectsAbstractSignificant research has shown the positive benefit of service and community-based learning onstudent diversity, engagement, and retention. Elements of service-learning have beenincorporated across disciplines into traditional classes as well as capstone experiences. Whileproviding significant benefits, challenges also exist in managing relationships with externalclients, finding administrative support for these experiences, and engaging students in moreopen-ended projects.Recognizing these benefits, new capstone projects have been introduced at our mid-sized mid-Atlantic college over the last two
‘minority’ made them more attuned toexclusionary course experiences for other minority identities.Study ObjectivesThe National Science Foundation’s Revolutionizing Engineering and computer scienceDepartments (RED) grant was awarded to the Civil and Environmental Engineering Departmentat midsized mid-Atlantic university in 2016. The RED grant has worked to broaden access andimprove the climate of inclusion for underrepresented and underserved engineering students. In2016 and 2018, the RED research team distributed climate surveys to all engineering students.While extensive research has been done on gender and sexual minority students’ perceptions ofbelongingness in engineering, fewer studies have examined their perceptions of the

The course had3 main learning objectives: (1) Identify and analyze the interdependencies of gender, diversity,culture, and engineering, using a variety of methods; (2) Connect issues relating to gender,diversity, and culture to students' experiences in college and future workplace experiences; and(3) Envision new engineering processes, practices, and cultures that reflect expandedperspectives on gender, diversity, and intersectional identities [10].This course was developed over a multi-year period and first launched at Stanford in the 2015-16academic year, in partnership with Aachen University in Germany. The first course was taughtsynchronously at both sites and students worked on cross-Atlantic project teams. A total of 20Stanford students

Despite this growing attention and acknowledgment of the need toimprove graduate education in engineering, cultures and practices in these spaces are seldomcharacterized as welcoming. In response to the above calls, this study explores the engineering graduate student’sexperience, focusing on their perceived stressors or challenges, while considering the student’sdegree and citizenship status. This study is situated in a three-year effort to develop andimplement a mandatory graduate seminar course focused on promoting equity in STEM at anR1, research-intensive university in the Mid-Atlantic U.S. The following sections will

Towards the exploration of thecomplex definition and validation of this model, seven targeted interviews were conducted withstudents enrolled in a non-disciplinary engineering program at a mid-Atlantic, primarilyundergraduate, comprehensive, public university.

In other words, the SoTE is Improvability and Endurance. TheSoTE is achieved at two levels, namely, the system and approach levels. At the system level, theeducational institution should be able to improve without reducing its ability to endure. Theinstitution should adopt an
