, engineering is more oftenassociated with math and science and “things” rather than people19. Engineers are also associatedwith poor social skills and jobs that are nearly entirely technical15. These associations can makeit hard for some students to see themselves as engineers. For example, Du5 notes that theprofessional identity of an engineer is associated with technology and mechanical ability, thusaligning engineering with the male gender. This alignment is reinforced by the long history ofprimarily male engineers. This restrictive definition of what an engineer is can make it harder formany students (especially women and students of color) who are interested in engineering toidentify with engineering.Identity development depends on two factors

Students also tend toview programming as an isolated component of engineering. They should understand instead thatprogramming is yet another tool to verify results and to solve more complex problems, reducingrisks of algebraic errors.3Design/MethodThree faculty members linked their classes to create a STEM (science, technology, engineering,and mathematics) small-learning-community (SLC).

For instance, in a report by the U.S. National Academy of Engineering titled “Educatingthe engineer of 2020” [4], it was recommended that engineering education be reinvented.
