reform effort risks being undermined by the curricular and cultural practices thatpervasively shape student experience and outcomes and drive away too many could-be engineerswith diverse interests, aptitudes, lived experiences, and values.PDI’s response to the bait-and-switch problem employs design-oriented logics of engagement inparallel with the fundamentals-first approach, which provides a partial corrective to the logic ofexclusion. This configuration offers educators new avenues for thinking about explicit andimplicit connections between the design-centric emphasis in K-12 and the content-driven modelof fundamentals first. Moving forward, we hope to conduct empirical research using participantobservation and interviews to compare students

Carnegie Foundation forthe Advancement of Higher Education. Initially, 15 graduate students expressed interest in theprogram. These students were divided into two separate peer groups. Over eight consecutiveweeks, these groups met and each participant built their own teaching portfolio. The programwas completely voluntary; participants did not receive course credit or compensation for theirparticipation.We designed a qualitative, ethnographic research study9 to formatively evaluate the EngineeringTeaching Portfolio Program and to understand the meaning of the program for its participants.Consistent with ethnographic approaches, we collected data from a variety of sources in order toenhance the rigor, or trustworthiness of our results9.

The problem isexacerbated in college with 60% responding that college is a place of active discouragement. Thestudy found pervasive stereotypes “that STEM isn’t for girls or minorities” as one of the majorcontributors to underrepresentation in the sciences.11 Many researchers working toward the common goal of increasing recruitment,enrollment, and graduation of African Americans in engineering have attributed much of thedisparity between African Americans and White and Asian

In response to numerous reports in the 1990s andearly 2000s [4-7], multiple EER graduate programs were established in the mid-2000s and agrowing number continue to emerge to educate and train the next generation of EER faculty andpolicy makers. Historically, many came to EER as individuals trained in other disciplines, butwith an interest in improving teaching and learning [8].
