majors, including Electrical and Computer Engineering students. Multiple factors contribute to retention issues, such as poor teaching and advising, the difficulty of the engineering curriculum, and lack of motivation resulting from poor connections to the engineering community. Statistics indicate a large drop in the continuation rate between the first and third years among Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) students. As students encounter increasing course difficulty in the early stages of their programs, they often lack motivation to persist because they have weak connections to their majors and potential careers in STEM.

) 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

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

First, in anindependent study, the student usually initiates the creation of the project to explore a topic ofmutual interest with a faculty member. At smaller teaching-focused institutions, many advancedtechnical topics in a student’s major are not covered in-depth and some students would like moreexperience in a particular area out of pure interest or to prepare themselves for a future career inthat field. Secondly, the student is not part of a student design team and often works

However, EE spansa much broader spectrum. The topics of communications and networking are often not presentedto high school students at all, and students are unaware of the fascinating challenges connectedwith careers in this direction.The current pandemic, entailing remote education, offers a unique opportunity to teachcommunications and networking.

of the goals of thegrant, which we refer to as our focus on the digital electronics metaphor of fan-in, fan-out. Fan-in relates to the diversification of not only the students who enter the program, but also how theyhave been prepared to engage in engineering education (i.e. methods of teaching and learning tobe successful in engineering). Fan-out relates to the diversification of careers pursued by studentsgraduating from the degree program. In order to increase this order of complexity, the inter-module must be re-designed. Historically, for example, many of our students work forgovernment defense contractors upon completion of their degree. In building a foundation for thework of the grant, we have learned that the field of computer and
