chemistry curriculum is arranging student lab teams so that each person has a turninvestigating and monitoring the safety issues specific to a lab session [2]. Other appropriatepractices that include training teaching assistants in safety protocols [3], organizing a lab spacewith safety in mind [4], or making use of a virtual lab.In civil and environmental engineering, there can be many types of lab spaces. It depends on thefaculty members’ areas of interest and program emphasis. However, various types of labs can begrouped into three major categories based on the particular hazards they contain. In laboratoriesthat involve construction, materials and machinery, students encounter hazardous physicaldevices. In environmental and biological labs

it was definitelystrange to change my mind.” But in her new major, “I really, really like what I am in now andsince I started my new major it’s been doing a lot more science and less computers which wasnever my favorite. …I decided I’m going to law school…” She stated that via environmentallaw she “can make a bigger impact.” She also discussed the she would be graduating a semesterearly (after 3.5 years of college), since her new major required fewer credits. She noted that shewas looking forward to getting to pick her classes in the final semester.Persisting in Original Engineering DisciplinesA large contributor to Tanya’s persistence in EnvE may have been her early mentoringrelationship with an environmental engineering faculty member.

EngineeringContrary to hypothesis 1e, there was no clear increase in the number of students who planned topursue MS or PhD programs in engineering. However, there were changes in students’ planswith some students initially planning to pursue an MS or PhD who changed their minds afterparticipating in the program, and others who initially did not plan to pursue an MS or PhDprogram changing their plans to pursue a higher degree in engineering. There also was variabilityin students’ plans to pursue education and training in engineering labs after the program (seeTable 4).Consistent with the quantitative findings, the interview data indicated students did not change,but rather solidified their engineering education plans after participating in the IRES program(70

, Focus Group* *Phase 2 To test how student learning is impacted by the OWLS, the qualitative pretest andposttest survey questions focus on students’ perceived learning. Surveys are commonly used inqualitative research within engineering education to assess participants through the use of openended questions52. The open ended questions seek to gain a greater insight into what componentsor features of the OWLS helped the students to learn most effectively, or which componentswere not effective in the minds of the students. For example, a question asks, “Was the OWLS avaluable tool for learning in this course? If so, how?” This question and others seek to explainthe reasons behind the trends that are observed in the

, and leadershipNow we turn to the larger social context in which we see environmental engineering studentsstarting to form decisions about their career and then begin their career. By social context, wemean, for this study, the gendered and racialized contexts in environmental work. In fact, wewould expect these contexts to come into play even in the selection of their major—climateeffects, public environmental discourse, and environmental policy all have gendered and racialsocial components that frame students’ matriculation into the major as much as their journeysthrough and beyond it. Keeping in mind the gender, race, and ethnic characteristics ofenvironmental engineering degree-earners in Section 2.1.1, we will return to this

, fromthe fourth principle. Students picked up on specifics from Chief Albert’s presentation, includingquoting some parts of his discussion. Examples are provided below. words for engineers: “Your work is more than plans and specifications. Your work is more than creating a design for a client. Your work impacts people, communities, and the landscape. You have a responsibility to be aware of the negative impacts of the work you engage in.” A reminder to keep community in mind in every step of the process…. One element from Chief Albert’s presentation that I personally found most impactful was the list of his Tribe’s values. When I read the RAE report about sustainability, I only thought about the impact that civil engineers
