engineering with science [2]. Conflating engineering with science inhigh school has real consequences for engineering student retention in college. Our own workshows that many freshmen who declare engineering majors enter college not really knowingwhat practicing engineers do despite the students’ professed interested in the field [3,4]. Oncethey do become informed about the duties and daily activities of engineering professionals,previously misinformed students leave engineering majors [5].One key factor (often overlooked by K-12 teachers) that differentiates engineering from otherSTEM disciplines is emphasis on open-ended experimental problem solving [6].

. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Overcoming affective and cognitive chemistry challenges in an introductory environmental engineering course using a Flint Water Crisis case studyAbstractAn understanding of chemistry is critical for many engineering disciplines. Students taking anintroductory environmental engineering course at the University of Wisconsin- Madison (with atypical cohort of 100 undergraduate students) have historically struggled to overcome cognitiveand affective challenges related to chemistry. Analysis of historical data confirmed that manystudents were not able to master certain key chemistry concepts during the course. To improveattitudes towards chemistry and student performance on
masters in mechanical engineering, I am personally interested infinding ways to create an inclusive environment in engineering education for a diversity ofstudents. These identities impact the analysis of my research because in my own education, therewere times when I connected to the material and enjoyed my learning experience, and othertimes where I was neither connecting to the content nor to my peers in the class. I am committedto understanding how we can continue to teach socially conscious engineers, especially astechnology gets embedded into more aspects of everyday life. FindingsWe first present a list of inclusive practices mentioned by at least two educators during theinterviews. These

The challenge of pursuing a difficultpath that involved mastering both engineering and medicine was something she felt she was upto.Like many other students who got straight As in high school, the difficulty and intensity ofstudying engineering at a competitive school made getting good grades a challenge. Having mostlikely received a good deal of praise while in high school, her lower grades, though notnecessarily lower than the other students she competed with (nor did it necessarily impact howmuch she learned), deeply impacted her sense of self-efficacy, pushing her towards depression.For Abby, who quickly identified with the other students
