asked respondents to indicate on a4-point Likert scale (1, “Not at all likely” to 4, “Very likely”) their likelihood of pursuing a positionafter obtaining their graduate degree. In particular, students were asked about their interest inpursuing a variety of careers including faculty positions: “How likely are you to pursue a positionas a university faculty member with an emphasis on teaching?” and “How likely are you to pursuea position as a university faculty member with an emphasis on research?” Other career trajectorieswere also assessed, including likelihood to pursue a position in industry, a start-up company,government, nonprofit organization, or a postdoctoral fellowship.Health: To evaluate mental and physical health, the surveys

These participants discussed how they were motivated toparticipate in STEM EEPs when a member of their extended community explained how STEMacademic entrepreneurship aligned with their career interests. When Dr. Wu was asked why sheparticipated in a STEM EEP, she noted, “My research has always had the bench towards that application, even though there's a lot of fundamental work that I also do as well. But I've never really thought about actually taking technology to the market until my son said, "No, mommy, have you thought about..." I said, "Well, I could explore it.

supportive cultures and networks that allow women to comfortably pinpoint,refine, strengthen, and achieve their career objectives. This study found that about half ofacademic alters were faculty members, suggesting that they play crucial role in shaping careerchoice [65]. Academic alters can take a role of encouraging Asian women to participate inservices and activities, in order to capitalize on the interests and intentions of Asian women incivil engineering fields. Most students meet with an academic advisor once or twice a year toplan their studies or courses for the following semester. This meeting is significant because itallows students to discuss whether they would like to continue in their current major or pursuesomething new. In order to

It is important to keep a sense of humorin this discussion and the facilitator to be comfortable with hearing untrue or unfair stereotypesbased on their appearance. By keeping it light and laughing or agreeing with the assumptions,students feel able to be more honest in their biases about the facilitator. This kind of discussionmay be more difficult for students to have with an authority figure and so faculty may need to bemindful of this as they are preparing for such a discussion.

Further, for women students to functionoptimally in their colleges and universities, the choice of the major must be based on theirinterests. For instance, personal interest in the major of study is very influential in students’major decisions [30] and could enhance students’ sense of belonging [31], [32]. Furthermore,embedding peer mentors in academic experiences improves a sense of inclusion in the learningspace which is directly related to students’ sense of belonging [31].Finding 2.

socialrelationships and an understanding of social issues is extremely valuable for the development ofengineering students. Unfortunately, engineering programs emphasize the technical content sointensely that most engineering students do not get the opportunity to work with social issuesthus never creating that awareness.The focus on technical aspects of engineering, and the perception that engineering work isobjective, has also led engineering students to think about the profession as apolitical [8, 9].This depoliticization frames engineering as a technical space where the social and politicalsides are tangential to engineering decision-making.

positive waysby institutions of higher education [22].The literature on traditional mentorship has described improvement in the mentoring modelthrough the concept of effective mentorship [34], [35]. This concept was conceived within thecontext of university research, with faculty members mentoring the students working in theirlaboratories. The literature suggests that anyone “self-motivated to enroll” in skills training on thefollowing six mentoring competencies can become an effective mentor [34]: “1) Maintainingeffective communication, 2) Establishing and aligning expectations, 3) Assessing mentees’understanding of scientific research, 4) Addressing diversity within mentoring relationships, 5)Fostering mentees’ independence, and 6) Promoting

However, the workforce needs of aglobalized economy and students empowered by their agency to venture outside the traditionalacademic sphere into industry, entrepreneurship, consulting, and pre-college leadership, forexample, have led to the emergence of varied and non-traditional career paths. These pathschallenge the conventional norms and expectations of what it means to be an engineeringeducator.Despite the gradual recognition and tokenized celebration of these diverse career paths, asignificant gap exists in understanding the experiences of those pursuing them.

engage in those reflections needed to evaluate complex situations, which often involve socio-economic and political considerations. Case studies have been shown to be an effective way to do that, and an effective case study allows students to go beyond the simple facts of the case by looking at laws past and present, historical context, and current practice and lead them to make informed decisions [16]. This process not only enhances their analytical abilities but also encourages them to explore new dimensions of the engineering practice, facilitating that much needed shift to a more equitable and socio-centered engineering practice. This broader perspective encourages students to consider the

As mentioned previously, the course is taughtin a flipped classroom modality so students work on their system maps during class, enablingrich conversations between faculty members and the design teams. These conversations serve asopportunities to illustrate to students how their engineering work recreates existing social issues.For example, one team wanted to build a system to test water in

strategize this way. Pre-tenure faculty or graduate students would not be wise to contact some track coordinatorsbecause, depending on the conference, this can get early-career scholars blackballed or labeled as“difficult,” especially white women and scholars of color. Similarly, early-career scholars cannotalways risk withdrawing a paper that has been accepted for publication simply because thereviewer doesn’t accept their methodological or linguistic choices.Second, the power of the reject in most cases (as in this one) is that it is a coalitional move—thepurpose of a reveal is to seek out others who might be willing to work with you to replace unjustbehaviors, procedures, etc. In this case, the lead author was able to reveal directly to
