) majors report notablelevels of gender bias and sexual harassment within the context of their work [6]. Among womenin STEM majors, experiences of STEM-related gender bias have been found to be relatednegatively to their career aspiration and motivation to pursue vocational opportunities in STEM[6]. In addition to messages of being unwelcome in the field, women in STEM fields have alsobeen shown to encounter benevolent sexism (e.g., protective paternalism or genderdifferentiation) from their male peers [7]. This form of sexism has been linked with lower gradepoint averages (GPAs) in STEM courses [7]. These findings highlight the impact the academicclimate can have on underrepresented students pursuing careers in STEM fields. Because GPArepresents

undergraduatecourses in engineering disciplines to using a more learner-centered teaching, such as problem-based learning. This shift is fueled by the need for future engineers to demonstrate the use ofhigher order thinking, problem solving, and interpersonal aspects of a career, such ascommunication and team-work skills (NAE, 2005). Specifically, the engineering field is seeingshifts in the types of engineers needed to emerge from college ready to participate as active andeffective members of a global society. This leads to the search for a new pedagogy that willallow students to have higher critical thinking skills and create problem solvers who can work inthe complex and ill structured environment. However, it is not an easy task to teach students todeal

Understanding moreabout how undergraduate engineering students develop identities as engineers will helpengineering educators better prepare students for engineering careers and support those studentsduring their postsecondary experiences. Much of the current research on engineering identity takes engineering as a monolithicdiscipline. In other words, it is taken as a given that different engineering disciplines function inthe same way with respect to engineering identity development. However, previous research hasshown that the culture of engineering disciplines do, in fact, differ from each other—forexample, some disciplines, such as biomedical engineering, civil engineering, and chemicalengineering, are more inclusive of gender diversity than
