The answers of the girls interviewed on the question as towhether engineers were both females and males and those of some of their classmates were different.ConclusionThis study explored how students’ stereotypes towards STEM fields, and engineering inparticular, can be exploded through experiential activities embedded in collaboration and care.Its findings are of significance to classroom teachers and to scholars interested in exploring howstereotypes can be broken through effective pedagogy. It found that: (1) stereotypical attitudesexist in students at this young age and (2) these views can be altered through a planned activity.These findings illustrate that pedagogy

Resilience isdefined as students’ ability to succeed despite challenges, temporary or long-term setbacks, andnegative experiences.25-26 That is, resilient students are able to recover from academic and socialsetbacks, which may include, but are not limited to, poor academic performance on

Taken together with theresults from the other regression analyses conducted for non-engineering, STEM-related careers(Table 6) and educational career pathways (Table 7), our results indicate the FGCS with higherphysics identities are more likely to choose engineering as a stepping stone to other careerpathways.These results have implications for how engineering courses are taught, especially for FGCS. Ouranalysis suggests that FGCS may have alternative career plans or long-term goals and motivationas non-FGCS for studying engineering. Providing opportunities to engage in other

Hence the goal of this study was to examinethe engineering students’ diverse perspectives about diversity, inclusion, and equity at a Southeasternuniversity in the United States. The university has been focusing on enhancing the diversity, inclusion andequity on campus as part of a broader initiative laid out in the university’s strategic plan. To achieve thisgoal, although challenging, it is critical that young students are given a safe space to share their views withrespect, acceptance, and tolerance and without any fear of repercussions.

Like many members of the dominant society,many Asian Americans want to believe in racial equality. Each wave of Asian immigrantsbelieves that they will be treated better than previous immigrants and will escape discrimination,even though that plan of working hard, getting educated, and adopting belief systems of thedominant culture7 has not consistently worked for previous waves19. Assimilation is moredifficult for immigrants with identifiable phenotypes or different cultural systems.

. Women discussedstereotypes at additional length in the open comments section of the survey.4. ConclusionsBased on the survey data we have concluded that the Industrial Distribution climate is overallpositive for both male and female participants. This is based on the fact that the majority ofrespondents reported satisfaction and did not report instances of gender stereotyping, internaldiscrimination, or internal harassment.Despite this positive climate however, the research has shown evidence that a glass ceiling ispresent for women in the industry. Additionally, men are less likely to acknowledge theexistence of this glass ceiling indicating that firms could benefit from succession planning,training, and consideration for women in the industry
