These design notebooks also enable a final demonstration of theirgripper and “training” on their gripper design in a class presentation. The lesson aligns withStandards for Technological Literacy 8 – 11 26 and Next Generation Science Standards HS-ETS1-1 – HS-ETS1-4 27, related to engineering design, modeling, and troubleshooting.In addition to alignment with national standards, we feel that the design experience aligns withthe psychosocial factors just described.

He goes, "Wait, you're an engineer?" And the implication was you're a woman studying engineering, and I was very, very surprised that that happened…when I got off, I was walking by [a student] who's my friend, and they were hanging out there to wait for the [campus] shuttle. And I was like, "The guy was absolutely shocked that I was a female engineer. He couldn't handle it." I mean, because he repeated that a few times. He's like, "You're a woman studying engineering."

A semi-structured interview protocol based in interpretive phenomenological analysiswas used to elucidate the students’ experiences that fostered belongingness. Separate themesfrom each student were created from coding and then overarching themes unified a sharedexperience.The following overarching themes were prevalent among the participants: similarity toclassmates, recognition as an engineer by peers, limited questioning of belongingness, andbelongingness is a state of mind. The results depict that elements of engineering identity play apart in making students feel they belong (e.g., recognition), but in some cases, belongingness isdistinct from

Wemeasure these underlying factors because each engineering and computing student admitted to auniversity has clear potential for academic and personal success in their undergraduatecurriculum from admissions criteria, however, while some thrive academically, others flounder.In this project, we ask, “Why is it that highly credentialed and previously successful

with measuring how cultural programs andexperiences contribute to positive changes in students’ abilities to work and thrive in diverseenvironments. Global competency can be defined broadly as “having an open mind whileactively seeking to understand cultural norms and expectations of others, leveraging this gainedknowledge to interact, communicate and work effectively outside one’s environment”1.Measuring global competency levels before and after participation in cultural programs maytherefore be a potentially effective method for measuring changes in students’ ability to work ina global environment. Currently, studies on engineering students’ baseline global competencylevels are few at the undergraduate level. This research fills this gap

These identities mustbalance individual affiliation with three aspects of a field: doing (hands on practices), being(habits of mind), and becoming (professional aspirations) [19]. Individuals construct theseidentities over time via interaction with material and social contexts [20, 21]. As individuals gainexperience over time, particularly in real-world vs. classroom settings, these aspects maydevelop at different rates. Thus, to understand the professional formation of

Persistence in E/CS can be defined as a students’ choice to stay in anengineering major or complete an engineering degree [15]. Enough motivation and self-efficacyare needed to overcome several adversities faced during their engineering programs [16]. To thiseffect, researchers have spent a considerable about of resources to know the completion rates ofengineering majors and the cause of attrition from engineering /computer science degrees [17, 18].There are several factors that affects a student’s persistence in their respective degrees includingstudent identity [19], interest, recognition, and

We are exploring the idea of professors using inclusive teaching methods to helpstudents succeed in ECE classes. We are defining inclusive teaching methods as initiatinginteractions with students in class or office hours intended to improve their capacity, interest, orbelongingness in engineering (as defined on the tip sheet). In other words, inclusive teachinginvolves bringing typical mentoring strategies into the classroom on a smaller scale. The tipsheet gives many examples of these strategies. • So that we can get your understanding of the definition, what are some examples that come to mind when you think of inclusive
