design classes across the country and providingempirical data on its constituents.Methods & Methodology: The study is part of a larger project investigating student engineers learning to attend toengineering problems like professional engineers. The study spans a semester of an engineeringdesign course and focuses on how engineers go from seeing engineering as math and scienceproblems to seeing engineering as problem-solving under real-world constraints. The course,EMAE 260, is the second in a three course design sequence for aerospace and mechanicalengineers (though the class is heavily populated by biomedical and biomechanical engineeringstudents) at a Midwestern University. The class introduces students who are sophomores andjuniors

]. The differences vary bydiscipline, being very small in biomedical (98%) and the largest in civil, aerospace, electricalengineering and software development (86%) [US Census Bureau 2016 data cited in 51]. Thismay be an uncomfortable conversation in a typical engineering course, but the issue is certainlyappropriate in a co-curricular setting such as a meeting of the Society of Women Engineers.Students could read [51] and discuss. This could be complemented by highlights from Cech’spaper that studied differences among job roles within engineering [52].Right to a Basic Standard of Living – Article 25Article 25 states, “Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including

women’s participation inSTEM disciplines and professions and tells of their success and contributions [21]. Portrayals of Black women infilm and media related to STEM are rare [7]. Research shows that women, regardless of race, are still stereotyped inmedia including in science advertisements [46]. In STEM related films, most female characters are White and oftenplay marginal roles [47]. Increased and diverse portrayals of women, and especially women of color, affect girls’identification with careers in STEM fields. Alicia Morgan, a Black female aerospace engineer [48], describeswishing she had experienced the film Hidden Figures to prepare her for the culture shock of her first job at Boeingafter getting her engineering degree from Tuskegee
