education for students to fulfill this call?In 1981, Andrei Sakharov – recipient of the 1975 Nobel Peace Prize – published a thought-provoking piece in the journal Nature. He reflected on the worldwide community of scientistsand engineers and how they possess a unique ability to comprehend the potential benefits andrisks of scientific progress [2, p. 1]. Sakharov envisioned that, because of their education andtraining, scientists and engineers would be mindful of societal issues and ethical questions.Ideally, through their professional formation, they should develop an awareness of societal issuesand ethical questions that lead them to ponder the positive and negative directions of progressand its possible consequences.

engineer has become strongly associated with a problem-solving mindset.Faculty members commonly described engineering as problem-solving itself [8], [9]. The designprocess is so permeated into the engineering profession, there are many common jokes thatrevolve around an engineer solving a problem in the “engineering way,” while missing potentiallysimpler, non-technical approaches to solving the same problem [10]. The engineering way ofsolving a problem can best be described by looking into the engineering design process.Engineers tend to have six habits of mind that help describe their way of thinking and that modelthe ideas used in the design process: systems thinking, problem-finding, visualizing, improving,creative problem solving, and adapting

However, among femalestudents in our study, sense of belonging in engineering was not influenced as much by theirunderstanding of the broad nature of the field.
