intervention:Traditionally, engineering has been viewed purely as a technical problem-solvingdiscipline [11], pushing engineers into the real world with a “one-size-fits-all” approach.Consequently, advanced technological solutions to problems around the world are beingcarried out with little understanding of the solution’s local economic, social, and/orenvironmental impacts. To bring about social justice and sustainability throughengineering solutions, values and ethics must be at the forefront of current engineeringcurricula. A socio-technical project-based learning model is implemented in this course[12] with contextualized design problems. Various sustainability-themed activities areassigned to engage students throughout the course. The lab activities in the

education pipeline, the scope of this paperfocuses on an undergraduate class early in the curriculum, which is an important time framewhere women are more likely than men to leave the engineering track [3], [12]. The aim of thisstudy is to analyze several variables within an engineering curriculum where gender differencesexist: spatial visualization ability, performance in introductory engineering graphics courses, andwork-ethic with respect to classroom tasks, within the context of self-efficacy and persistence inengineering. Understanding the factors related to the gender gap in engineering is an importantfirst step toward future studies of targeted interventions to better meet the pedagogical needs of amore diverse student population.It has been

and visual media • Evaluate images and their sources • Use images and visual media effectively • Design and create meaningful images and visual media • Understand many of the ethical, legal, social, and economic issues surrounding the creation and use of images and visual media, and access and use visual materials ethicallyAcross disciplines, students engage with images and visual materials throughout the course oftheir education. Although students are expected to understand, use, and create images inacademic work, they are not always prepared to do so. Scholarly work with images requiresresearch, interpretation, analysis, and evaluation skills specific to visual materials. These abilitiescannot be taken for granted and
