We includedreadings from authors with different gender, racial, and queer identities, as well as articles studyingthese intersections to provide a cohesive picture of STEM. We discussed the literature bias towardscisgender gay white men, particularly in the foundational works of the field (e.g., Rhoads, 1994).A full list of topics and readings can be found in Appendix I.To gauge student interest, we sent out a survey to undergraduate and graduate students in theCollege of Natural Sciences and the School of Engineering via the department academiccoordinators.

Within this seminar, students will engage in conversations withprofessionals, will connect with other engineering students who have succeeded in engineering,and will engage in leadership opportunities early in their academic careers. Led by anunderrepresented minority faculty in the band and orchestra department who served as a formerrecruiter for engineering students, this seminar provides a unique opportunity for students to (1)demonstrate uses of campus resources to enable academic success, (2

Engineering “habits of mind” align withessential skills for citizens in the 21st century. This “habits of mind” could essentially benefit theproblem solving skills of all people for reaching innovative solutions to various challenges. Engineering design process is mostly taught to engineering students during their senior yearcapstone design course after students have acquired relevant knowledge for the design. Thus, thephase of gathering knowledge is mostly carried out in a passive instructor-centered learningmodel.

A favorite program is to have a panel of graduate students who have gonethrough the program address and answer the questions of the students in the ASAP class to “tellit as it really is”. In addition, engineers with advanced degrees are brought to the class to talk tothe students about engineers in industry, what the company is looking for in a hire, and howengineers with advanced degrees are used in their company. An additional topic that usuallystretches the mind of the students is to have them write a minimum 5 page paper on their careerand life
