Other women spoke about licensure in the context of whether it was requiredby their employer for their current roles. Women in this group mentioned both instances wheretheir license was required as well as those where it wasn’t. One woman mentioned her licensehaving value even in a role where it wasn’t required, sharing that “Working in the environmentalfield, the 'engineering' designation carries a certain weight over other enviro professionals, so Ido identify with it and include it in my email signature, etc. It's a requirement for my currentrole, mind you, but [for] my previous position [it] wasn't.” (WW, IR: 7/10).Theme 3

As noted in the Rottman article, it iscritical that the discussion tone “shift from rational argumentation to respectful dialogue byincluding mindful listening activities”. The cautionary tale described in the Rottman articleserved as guidance in this study's development.To address these issues, an intervention was proposed to reframe DEI as a central tenet of ethicsand professional responsibility for the 21st century engineering workforce.

way.Although there is no official data publicly available for comparison, given that we know manyengineering graduates do not become licensed, and even at four years post graduation onlyaround 45 percent of graduates become licensed [6], our sample consisting of 88 percent licensedProfessional Engineers was a large overrepresentation of this group; this suggests our samplewas likely missing those who have exited engineering completely.

. For example, some male studentsmentioned that maybe there are not as many women in engineering because it does not interestwomen, or that we should not push diversity into STEM fields so much because diversity does notimprove the performance of a group.In a study published by the American Sociological Review, Herring suggests that diversity canhave a positive impact on business performance. Diverse groups can leverage their experiencesand perspectives to solve problems and make decisions in a way that like-minded groups cannot.While some men in our study see this as diversity quotas where women are hired solely based ontheir gender, there is growing research that shows diversity adds value to teams and organizations.Herring’s findings show

Even our own identity in the world can be thoughtof as a narrative in our minds, and to imagine our future selves we must construct a futurenarrative. It is this power of story that we believe needs to be fundamentally embraced bydiversity efforts in engineering and computing to make a significant change in our demographicchallenges. And yet, the power of story is left, mostly, unexplored in engineering as it does not fitwith our STEM-focused fields that sit strongly in the camps of quantitative evidence, testing, anddesign.We will argue in this paper, that there is convincing evidence that leveraging the power of storymight be the “holy grail” for changing

who holds true to the social/technical divide and is an able-bodied, cis-gender, and heterosexual man, workplace norms and incentive structures are designedwith these people in mind, systematically disenfranchising queer engineers.Later steps in addressing equity in this space would include engendering gender equity intoengineering culture and ways of doing and considering the ways in which engineering culture’sassumptions about gender are structurally embedded in our education systems and workforce– notonly recognizing the importance of diversity in the field but also ensuring the importantdifferentiation of support structures so that engineering can become a more level playing field. Inother words, in order for all engineers to feel
