SelvesThe psychological concept of possible selves, developed by Hazel Markus and Paula Nurius,examines how people use both positive and negative imaginations of the self to guidemotivation, behavior, and identity construction, including ethical formation [4]. According to theauthors, possible selves facilitate self-knowledge informed by “the ideal selves we would verymuch like to become” as well as “the selves we are afraid of becoming” [4]. As such, possibleselves function as “cognitive manifestation[s]” of persistent “goals, aspirations, motives, fears,and threats” and operate as “the essential link between self-concept and motivation” [4].Importantly, the authors argue that the possible selves people construct, though numerous andvaried, are

Malikah describes how the NF team’s project provides resources for mentorshiprelationships with marginalized students within the network. The project that Malikah sees asimportant to her time on the NF team is framed in the backbone conceptualization.The effectiveness of the backbone conceptualization of the team is dependent on the uniquecontexts within which the NF works. Greg describes that he “see[s] the NF as- as a way forsharing ideas that come up at sites as a way of keeping sites aware of each other and mostimportantly, as a way of

Accordingly, although the source of 10% ofthe final course grade is different for the control and treatment groups, the effect on final coursegrades is at best very minimal.Regular writing assignment in the treatment group The main feature which differentiates the treatment group from the control group is thehomework. With the exception of a few additional problems over the course of the semester,students in the treatment group received the same homework problems as the students in thecontrol group.

Using a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives, WGS 250 investigates how STEM fields both shape and are shaped by ideas and assumptions about gender and identity. Topics include feminist critiques of science, intersections of gender with technology design/use, gender and the built environment, and links between gender and “doing” STEM. Learning Outcomes: ● Demonstrate an understanding of core critical concepts in the field(s) of feminist STEM studies, particularly critiques of objectivity, neutrality, and evidence. ● Identify and articulate the mutually constitutive intersections of social categories

Their paper documents thedevelopment of two new project-based engineering programs seeking accreditation.18 Their intention to“build a more inclusive culture for tomorrow’s engineers” differs from Godfrey and Parker’s use ofculture as a vehicle for ethnographic insight about an existing institutional context.18 Bates et al.’s callfor change urges us to view engineering culture as malleable.

Engineering Education, 2024 Meta-Activity Theory as a Conceptual Toolfor Supporting Transdisciplinary Curricular Experimentation in Undergraduate Learning ContextsWhen it comes to carrying out external evaluations of academic plans in higher education, LisaR. Lattuca and Joan S. Stark’s text, Shaping the College Curriculum: Academic Plans inContext, has provided a critical resource (Lattuca and Stark, 2011). The text lays out aframework for analyzing the social aspects of curricular plans, which often involves examininghow the intended curricular design of an academic program compares to the actual livedexperiences of students and faculty who are involved in the curriculum. By drawing on Lattucaand Stark’s framework, external
