With thestatements generated and evaluated by a sole researcher it is imperative to expand the dataset togradate the distribution of what constitutes liberal arts, active learning and engineering elements.To refine this distribution a further survey will be conducted at the annual ASEE conference inorder to survey a more sophisticated population of engineering education researchers.References [1] D.A.

Influenced by their past experiences withwriting, students encountering engineering genres such as reports and proposals may struggle towrite successfully [1].

Education, 2019 Queer(y)-ing Technical Practice: Queer Experiences in Student Theater Productions at a Technical UniversityAbstract: This pilot study presents a potentially novel way to consider gender and sexualdiversity in STEM by attempting to identify sociotechnical practices which might be considered“queer” in a broad sense—by being of, by, for, or regarding queer people—and by seeking tounderstand how these practices might challenge and complement other technical practice andeducation. To explore these questions, I conducted participant-observation fieldwork at astudent-run theater organization at a mid-sized technical university, identified by students as“outstandingly queer” for both its increased proportion of LGBTQ
justice, it isimportant to analyze how pervasive dominant discourses and the Discourse in engineering maycollide with these efforts.MethodsAs one of our program’s goals is to train engineering students to have a critical awareness oftheir personal attitudes, behaviors, and values, we conducted an in-class activity using “valuecards” for students to reflect on their personal values. Our goal is to help students think early anddeeply about how the ways they may want to live as a person may differ from how they areleading their lives as engineers. In this paper, we discuss 71 individual student responsescollected from this activity during the Spring and Fall 2019 semesters. Each student wasprovided a deck of 83 cards with values on them [29].
