Although they are mostly working outside of theinstitutional setting, especially as they work to establish alternative space and practices outside ofthe dominant discourse, the work and motivations of both feminist hacker collectives and opensource science hardware communities have implications for thinking through how to organizeand enact real-world change in terms of pedagogy, design, and more deeply weaving ethics andexplicit value-systems into engineering education and practice.In a previous paper, we sought lessons for change in engineering education from movements notonly within science and technology cultures, but also within higher education institutionalsettings.

A key finding was that “Students who score highly onknowing an engineer as a reason for selecting a major, wanting a good potential salary, designingand building things, and their perceptions of the present were likely to be traditional engineers.Students who want to prove themselves in the hardest possible major and benefit society are likelyto be in interdisciplinary majors.” In addition, “BIOE (bioengineering) females feel they have agreater understanding and ethical responsibility, and confidence in their choice of majorcompared to top enrollment (traditional engineering and other majors) females.” Rasoal, et

perceived as “real engineering”, which highlights an historically strong set of beliefs aboutpolitically or socially agnostic technical work coming into conflict with a systems approach [5](see also [11]).Riley et al. [12] point to limitations of service learning education in engineering generally, i.e.,limited student engagement with questions about the social, economic, and political interests metby the service learning framework. Relatedly, while Bielefeldt et al. [13] find that environmentalengineering faculty bring more topics about ethics and societal issues into their courseworkrelative to their peers in such fields as mechanical and civil engineering, they also find thatenvironmental engineering faculty perceive ethics and “broad impacts

importance of society inengineering design. A few of the papers defined the steps of the design process and includedsocial elements such as “identify a design need” and “research a design need” (A3, p.74). Thesewould need to be further defined in order to ensure students were properly considering the needsof their users and the impact on society. For example, one paper further defined the outcome tobe “Appreciate and consider the non-technical constraints (ethical, political, aesthetic,environmental, economic, cultural, etc.) in their work” (A5, p.2).Many of the findings which came out of the research also reflected on the importance offurthering this connection to society.

In the independent learning module, students wrote narrativesabout their career and personal plans, their experiences in the class, and independent learningthat they needed to do to meet their long-term goals. In the ethics module they were asked toreflect on ethical and professional behavior and how that behavior influenced their capstoneexperience.Similar to the “assess and adjust” exercise, as mentioned previously, the first author conductedmid-term evaluations where she asked students about problems in their teams and in the course

Women volunteered at a higher rate than men and this was true acrossall age groups, educational levels, and major demographics characteristics (such as race andemployment status) [7].Influence is closely associated with leadership.

Methods Ethnography, a primary tool of anthropologists, is a common method used to understand culture from the perspective of insiders of that culture. Ethnographic methods include participant observation, field memos, autoethnography, interviews, and focus groups interviews.35, 36 The methodology of this paper is rooted in critical ethnography, which “begins with an ethical responsibility to address processes of unfairness or injustice within a particular lived domain”.21 Decolonizing Anthropology: For the scholar-activist doing qualitative work with the aim of ameliorating oppressive conditions, identity can act as a point of departure for theorizing.

Larger increases in the number of bachelor’s degrees earned by women and distributionacross disciplines have remarkably changed gender diversity for a number of disciplines. Thisultimately produces some disciplines that are criticized for low participation of women andrelatively slow progress and others where an equivalent and declining participation of men garnersrelatively little attention or action. It seems possible that focusing on careers for some disciplines,and not for others, may in itself change the perception of those topics for students who
