learningare collaborative learning, co-operative learning, and problem-based learning. Various studies,from using interactive, hands-on lessons and activities designed to teach research process toundergraduate engineering students 1 , to preparing manufacturing engineering students throughcompetitions, projects sponsored by industry, capstone projects, laboratory exercises or projectssimulating real-life scenarios 2 , have shown that active learning increases student performance inSTEM subjects.Critical thinking, identified by The U. S. Department of Labor as the raw material of a number ofkey workplace skills such as problem solving, decision making, organizational planning, and riskmanagement, is highly coveted by employers of engineering graduates

participation of girls and students from racially underrepresented communities in engineering? • How do engineering educators and the U.S public perceive and interpret new information about the history of discrimination in STEM fields?My findings indicate that the film had a tremendous impact on Black women in STEM, but also White women andother women of color by providing much needed visual models of success in STEM professions. I begin my paperwith a review of some of the research literature to set up the context of my study, after which I explain my uniquemethodological framework and research design. In the last section, I discuss my analysis process and findings inmore detail. I end with the limitations and the future

component, termed the hiddencurriculum, pertains to perspectives and processes that are both outside of, and rooted in, theformal curriculum. The hidden curriculum inadvertently conveys to students what is important inthe educational community. This paper employs a hidden curriculum perspective to explore therole and value of ethics and societal impacts (termed ESI) in engineering education. As part of alarger study on the ESI education of undergraduate and graduate students, this paper exploresESI through a hidden curriculum lens using an ex post facto design and mixed-methodsapproach. Individuals who teach engineering and computing students participated in a surveywhere they reported their own ESI education practices and their perceptions of the

particular of 1st yearstudents, who apparently have difficulty in building their engineering identity and opt-out toother non-engineering area, while students from other disciplines very rarely transfer toengineering.The key motivation in initiating the proposed study is thus a quest for new educational solutionsthat will help explaining in appealing terms what engineers do and how they contribute to thewell-being of society in the short term, and that will, in the long term encourage potentialstudents to take on engineering careers.Declining engineering enrollment trends are directly related to the public understanding ofscience (PUS), technology and engineering (although that relation is far from simple). PUStrends are closely monitored by a
