Despiteexperiencing hard moments, Jose showed that he is very committed to his studies, and he was onthe path to accomplishing his goals. Other participants noticed a different dynamic between peerwomen and men, highlighting men as quick, confident, and competitive and women as doubtful,and timid, but also more interactive and easier to talk.

their objectives. Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering included laboratorywork as an integral part of the course, but out-of-class team effort was required in others. Thesense of belonging to a department was seen to aid in retention not only in the department but inengineering. An early opportunity for name and face recognition was seen as important for thestudent’s identification with the college.Disadvantages were also evident in this course structure. Students interested in engineering butwho had not yet decided on a major were nonetheless asked to choose a freshman course fortheir first semester at UTA. If they later decided on a different major, the freshman course in thenew major had to be taken. Furthermore, no course provided an

A recent literature reviewof articles on mathematics within engineering-related disciplines found that only 2 out of 5466articles discussed “uncertainty” or “error” 11. While mathematics is fundamental to engineeringpractice, additional curricular content is necessary to ensure engineers are equipped to handleuncertainties.Some disciplines require specific training in uncertainty; for instance, the ABET Civil criteriarequire that curricula train engineers to “apply probability and statistics to address uncertainty” 9.However, the Aerospace and Mechanical
