Ourinductive analysis generated three types of fit: personal fit, career values fit and intellectual fit,which we operationalize below.Cech et al.8 have operationalized a set of concepts that are similar to our concept of self-assessment of fit.

The current study suggests that this valuable work within STEM may be valuablysupplemented by students’ experience in other disciplines. The WGS framework and scholarshipgave the students in our study a different, wider-lens view of engineering itself, and enhancedtheir sense of STEM identity.Pawley [42] argues that “feminist science studies are particularly relevant to engineering andengineering education, namely, for scrutinizing what ‘counts’ as engineering content and why.”Our participants felt strongly that all students should be exposed to the theory and methods ofWGS.

Students learn these cultural cueseither through overt or implicit messages passed onto them by faculty, the curriculum,institutional cues, or other forms of professional identity socialization [21].Engineering education reinforces the dualism between the social and technical dimensions ofengineering. The social dimensions, partly required by ABET accreditation through engineeringethics, remain segregated from 'real' engineering [22].

While they still believed that good writingwas important to an engineering professional, the lack of continuity in the curriculum madewriting seem far less important to an engineering student.Compounding this devaluation, students often received negative social messages from otherstudents and even faculty about the value of communication coursework. Some students hadbeen told by peers to expect their writing class to be tedious, and mostly just a meaninglessrequirement. One student reported that in a subsequent class with a communication component,the instructor explicitly messaged that the students were there to get an easy grade on thatcomponent and pass through to more important work.The

First, there is a need forwhat Stevens refers to as “socio-technical engineering education” [22], which combines the socialand technical development of engineering students, in order to better prepare them for the transitionfrom university to employment. The three graduates were able to build their social knowledge andskills through co-curricular rather than curricular activities, which do not prioritize the socialdevelopment among students and are, as Stevens, Johri, and O’Connor argue, “the bastion for thetechnical rationalist view of engineering” [23, p. 133].

This was damaging to the identity ofour AB students. Worryingly, the program’s existence can sometimes permit other Collegeprograms to abdicate their own potential contributions to interdisciplinary integration.
