that as sort of the engineering education person. That's been a great experience to work with a near peer colleague in a traditional engineering field and to introduce him, for example, to the ASEE community, to see him go off into the disciplinary side, the disciplinary division of ASEE to present papers over there that I don't have anything to do with.This sentiment was also reflected in many other interview participants who saw one of theirgoals, or a strategy toward creating change in engineering education more broadly, to becultivating awareness and building capacity among engineering faculty to enact lessons of socialresponsibility and embed ethics into “typical” engineering coursework.

the rolesthey play within engineering as a discipline, with their peers, and within engineering classrooms[13]. Women must author their individual engineering identities that will relate to the groupidentity of an engineer [13]. Educational experiences within the classroom have the potential tofoster agency through participation in engineering and directly influence a woman’s pursuit ofengineering both at secondary and post-secondary levels [8]. Development of this identity willrequire active participation in engineering curriculum and social integration into engineeringacademic communities [13].Social Cognitive Career Theory Social cognitive career theory (SCCT) was developed originally to connect anindividual’s career development

The programs she leads include sum- mer camps for K-12 students; programs that send undergraduates and graduate students into schools to work with elementary and middle school students; training sessions for NC State engineering alumni who want to be volunteer teachers in their communities; and professional development and classroom support for K-12 teachers who want to introduce engineering concepts to their young students. In addition, she co-authored statewide engineering standards for K-12 and delivers teacher professional development in integrated STEM. Bottomley also directs NC State’s Women in Engineering program, which works to boost the number of women engineers in academia and industry. The NC

participating in the summertransition program. The Meyerhoff program is similar to the M-Engin program in that it focuseson improving self-efficacy through social and academic integration. It also offers, as does M-Engin, programmatic elements that include skill development, motivational support and intrusiveadvising. The Meyerhoff study36 found these program elements were linked to student’s self-efficacy and therefore persistence in achieving a STEM degree and pursuing graduate study.Maton et al.37 also concluded that a sense of community contributed to a salient science identityand research self-efficacy. The intentional and ongoing efforts of the M-Engin program to builda student community throughout the summer program might similarly affect self

The tenth anniversary of the programwas in the summer of 2018, so a more comprehensive longitudinal study of outcomes forparticipants has been undertaken.As a living program that has been evolved based on formative assessment, the same essentialgoals of increasing the retention, success (measured by GPA) and graduation of

It wasn’t as much linear algebra and math stuff; it was taking some of that and building circuits and stuff. You know, projects – taking that stuff and using it and that was really cool. So I really got excited.

It also strengthens support for further research thatemphasizes both how students feel through emotional engagement as well as what they dothrough more traditional measures of engagement.IntroductionThis study investigates the role of gender, race/ethnicity, first-generation status, and internationalstudent status in engagement in engineering classrooms. We also consider the effect ofinstructional support and interactions in the relationships between demographic groups andmultiple forms of emotional engagement that students report in the engineering classroom.Demographic categories of interest were chosen based on how the existing literature
