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

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

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

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

CTA is a class ofobservational protocols that surface tacit knowledge through engaging experts with a task(Crandall, 2006). The purpose of CTA is to capture how the mind works through three primaryaspects: knowledge elicitation, data analysis, and knowledge representation. Many methods ofCTA exist, and best practices call for a combination of CTA methods. In this study we are usingtwo methods: 1) the Critical Decision Method (CDM), which assesses individuals decisionmaking in non-routine incidents through a set of cognitive probes (Klein, 1989), and 2) theKnowledge Audit Method (KAM), which we use to guide our probing questions and identifytypes of knowledge used, or not
