Both have contributed to engineering’sexclusivity and tendency to marginalize those who challenge the myths. As Shaun Harperwarned, an education that avoids engaging with social context and, for example, conversationsabout race, risks graduating “accidental racists” [25, 26]. Amy Slaton has examined how specific“conceptions of engineering talent and rigor” have

mayexplain the prevalence of the other sources for disciplinary friends.Lack of Participation in Professional OrganizationsOne of the ways for undergraduate students to establish connections to their broader disciplinarycommunity is through participation in a professional organization. These exist for a wide varietyof disciplines and serve to provide connections between industry professionals, researchers,students, and faculty alike. Student chapters exist for many of these organizations and at thestudy institution, there are student chapters of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers(AIChE) and the American Chemical Society (ACS). Though there is no student chapter for aBiochemistry organization, though there is an established club for

This amendment to the proposal granting process emphasized NSF’scommitment to funding projects that connect science and engineering to society, via broaderimpacts.In 2010, the America COMPETES Act11 reauthorized the National Science Foundation, mandatingthe retention of the Broader Impact criterion, and requested that NSF issue a report to Congressregarding the effects of this criterion. One of the requirements requested in the report by Congresswas to provide evaluations performed by the Foundation to assess the degree to which the Broader Impact aspects of research proposals were carried out and how effective they have been at meeting the goals described in the research proposals
