their teams on challengingproblems also promotes psychological safety in their teams [4].With these thoughts in mind, we began to be curious about the state of psychological safety andstudent engineering teams. This work in progress builds upon two pilot studies presentedpreviously and expanded to include data from additional universities [5,6]. In addition to beingcurious about benchmarking the psychological safety of student engineering teams, we were alsocurious to understand if we can improve psychological safety on underperforming teams. Each ofthe universities participating in this study provides leadership or teaming development training tostudents in some way. Therefore, we are curious if these efforts lead to improvements

are drawn from the university (comprisingfaculty or staff) and industry (UConn Alumni), based on their expertise on the topics. One of themost beneficial aspects of the workshop is the opportunity for group discussion, through whichparticipants, who come from a variety of engineering, cultural, and personal backgrounds, canlearn from one another and exchange ideas through games or case studies. The program also fostersnetworking opportunities across various engineering disciplines and encourages participation incommunity service projects. The JLLA’s investment in Mind Garden’s Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) wasintended to gain an understanding and assess the effectiveness of members’ participation in termsof improving their

engineering curriculum typically does not cover extensively [18], and which theyhave not had to do in their early-career roles. These engineers, who may have performedindividual contributor tasks for most of their careers, may feel unprepared and unconfident, andthus unhappy, when placed in higher-responsibility leadership positions. Another possibleexplanation is that engineers feel like the higher responsibility tasks are not necessarily moreimpactful than are the lower-level tasks. As technically-minded professionals, many may findmore enjoyment and happiness in more technical roles.B. Female Engineers’ Relationships with Co-Workers Positive relationships with co-workers was one of the first antecedents of happinessraised in a study of

inclusion, practicinginclusive leadership is essential. Leaders in engineering organizations play a significant role inshaping work spaces, environments, policies, cultures, values, and social norms [10]. It isessential for inclusive leaders to be mindful of the cultures they are perpetuating and seek todevelop a culture of belonging where all individuals, regardless of identity or privilege, believethey can thrive [10]. Inclusive CulturesWorkplace cultures and environments can greatly impact performance, productivity, efficiency,teamwork, communication, collaboration, job satisfaction, employee engagement, stress, andburnout and even retention [12]. The scholar Schein indicated that culture can be broken downinto various levels including

feedback she received inicatedthat she did not fit a "technical mold." She decided to pivot into a field where she could leverageher social capabilities more. She further explained, So as opposed to really trying to force and change my mind about my technical side. I'm just gonna like lean into what I'm great at and do that, because that's what makes me happy. (…) If I could have went back and had a best case scenario, if I could have had a mentor or someone who like trained me on how to be good at both, as opposed to having to pick a path, I think that would have kept me staying in engineering as opposed to now I'm leaning into what people said I was good at and I'm going to Business School.
