identity differbetween students on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. We first ran bivariatetests (t-tests) to see if the values of our four dependent variables differed by LGBQ status, TGNCstatus, and STEM major. We then ran a multivariate regression to test all of these threeindependent variables together, controlling for a set of college experiences known to relate toscience and engineering identity. The first four t-tests compared the four dependent variables—interest, recognition as ascientist, recognition as an engineer, and performance/competence—by whether students areSTEM majors. T-test results are presented in the following table. Keep in mind that interest andperformance/competence were adapted to accommodate

Games not only provide a fun and interactive way of stimulating the mind butalso encourage players to make decisions and prioritize their goals to solve difficulties [1].

single definition. However, it is generally agreed that wellbeing is amultidimensional concept that encompasses positive emotions and effective functioning amongmany other context specific aspects of the studied population.Within engineering education there has been an increased focus on exploring students'psychological state of mind in recent years. While more studies have focused on undergraduatestudents and investigated their mental health [12], [13] and subjective well-being [14], fewerstudies have focused on graduate engineering students [15]. However, studies conducted outsideof engineering on graduate students indicate that graduate students suffer from mental healthconditions like depression and anxiety at a rate much higher than the
the engineering major [25].Simultaneously however, students’ need to “escape” from the stresses of engineering also raisesquestions in our minds about the cultures of engineering. We wonder whether it is seemingly“right” that students are forced to “leave” and be something else separate from being engineersrather than being able to bring their holistic selves into engineering. Our work will explore andaddress the above claims and concerns amongst our broader participant pool. We hope to create ahypothesis about engineering undergraduate students' involvement in engineering-adjacentactivities, furthering our understanding of how these activities affect their motivations.AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to acknowledge the contributions of

cultural meanings associated with the profession. Understanding thesecultural nuances is key to understanding who enters the field and the perceptions of students asthey enter our classrooms.IntroductionWhen you think of an engineer, what is the first image that comes to mind? Is it a man in a hardhat standing over a set of engineering drawings, a computer programmer, or a solitary personworking on math problems? Whatever the image may be, it has likely been shaped by theportrayals of engineers within popular media. From Dilbert to Howard Wolowitz to Tony Stark,depictions of engineers cultivated in popular media reinforce cultural narratives about whatengineers do and who engineers are. These narratives impact not only public perceptions

WhileBlack students navigate their way to success in engineering programs not created with them in mind,they often survive rather than thrive [5-6].

applicability of Tuckman’s model in student engineering multiculturalteams, several lessons are valuable for instructors to consider. Firstly, it is significant to providea welcoming and supportive learning space to allow student to learn in and with teams.Secondly, instructors could cultivate a positive environment, and growth-oriented and equity-minded protocols to acknowledge the possibility of team conflicts and prepare to suggest conflictresolution strategies. Similarly, instructors also want to encourage students to trust theirteammates and allow them to improve. Lastly, instructors could guide students to reflect on theirteamwork experiences to identify the areas to enhance and work on them. References

Potential things to keep in mind as you write your ARM include: • Who is this interviewee? How do they self-identify (both with regards to their engineering identities and their non-engineering identities)? • How do they explain or justify their identities? • How do they perceive engineering? Does this perception relate to how they see themselves as engineers (or not see themselves as
quality of a leader, one might question if the person has the self-awareness neededto be effective. However, leaders often do not begin as great leaders often receiving performancefeedback that prompts them to engage in conscious self-reflection and self-evaluation of theirinfluence on those around them [12], [13]. Self-evaluation and self-regulation make up twodimensions of self-awareness that have been evaluated under the OSA theory, but there are otheraspects or contributors of self-awareness have been examined such as emotional intelligence[14], self-insight [15], motivation [5], [16], self-reflection [13], [17], [18], and mindfulness [19].

studies were based on engineering subjects and that many ofthe studies lacked “mean scores, standard deviations, and number of observations required for ameta-analysis” [19]. This – along with other information missing from a number of the 55 reports– means that these findings may not be representative of the outcome of implementing a flippedclassroom [19]. Additionally, their 55 studies were focused on articles from 2013-2016 [19]. Thus,with online learning being more commonly used and the problems with conducting a meta-analysisof this type, newer research should be conducted on this topic, keeping in mind these literaturereviews recommendations for future tests [19], [23].The other systematic review analyzed 32 articles and found that few

The importance of CT is reflected in the growing interest in exploringits potential role in various fields, including engineering. While CT in engineering education hasbeen discussed in previous research, there needs to be more understanding of how CT may differin the context of different engineering disciplines. Rich qualitative research on how studentsengage in CT and engineering can show how they can support each other [5]. Research has beenconducted to investigate the implementation of CT in middle school education internationally.The studies emphasize the importance of CT in interdisciplinary education to foster students'critical thinking
