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

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

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].

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

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

learning goals for pre-college engineering are stillbeing contested. One argument, which is promoted in science standards, is that engineeringdesign provides an authentic context to apply science concepts [4] [5] [6]. However, others arguethat this represents too narrow a view of engineering and promotes misconceptions [7] [8]. Inresponse to these concerns, the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) andAdvancing Excellence in P12 Engineering Education introduced a Framework for P-12Engineering Learning [9]. This framework outlines learning goals for engineering literacy thatmove beyond a narrow focus on practices, including engineering habits of mind and knowledge.In addition, the authors call for further research to scaffold learning
