This convergence of knowledgeand responsibility to others and the earth rewrite the field of engineering through a decolonized,non-Eurocentric lens, and it balances the scales of credibility by offering freedom from prejudicethat privileges whiteness, maleness, ableism, heterosexuality, etc. With this liberation, we canensure women and those with non-centered identities have space to thrive and contribute to thebetterment of this world, as is a long-standing tenant of the engineering profession [1].ConclusionEpistemic injustice is a system of inequity that perpetuates an exclusionary culture to womenbased on their perceived

The process follows the ethical principles of Finnish universities’ feedbacksurveys [20], established by the Finnish Council of University Rectors.The questions used in this study consisted of closed questions, with alternatives to choosefrom or statements to be evaluated with a 6-point Likert scale. In addition to these, therespondents were asked to report their monthly income in euros as well as the duration oftheir possible unemployment in years and months. The exact questions and their

The remaining 57% experienced the following efforts: (1)sexual assault training prior to attending college, (2) efforts to prevent sexual violence againstwomen, (3) posters in classrooms and buildings on campus, and (4) female empowerment speechesin class.4.4.3.

Some individuals may see their work as aform of spiritual service, while others may be guided by religious beliefs when making ethical decisionsin their work. We believe this study will give a glimpse into how a woman’s religious identity caninfluence their engineering identity which could lead to greater understanding of the role of religion inengineering spaces and encourage more effective support structures. MethodologyThis study was part of a larger National Science Foundation (NSF) funded qualitative, phenomenologicalresearch study which examined the engineering identity development experiences of electrical
by the Institutional Research Ethics Committee(IREC), the semi-structured interviews were conducted in a one-to-one format via Zoomlasting for about 30 minutes which included leading and extended questions to obtain qualitydata.After informing the participants about the purpose of the study, their voluntary informedconsent form was signed before they answered the questionnaire. Their personal informationremained confidential throughout the study. The participants were asked five demographics(Fig. 1), two qualitative questions and factor ranking by importance and impact.

After the approval of the ethics board and the Vice-Provost Student of the university,we accessed and worked with different sets of students’ records. Here are the datasets we used inour analysis in this study:Undergraduate students’ registration and academic performance (2006-2021): The researchsample included data from 26,842 undergraduate students with at least one university recordfrom 2006 to 2021. In total, there were 275,233 records from these undergraduate students,including every session they have registered at the university. Twenty-four parameters describedthis research sample, but we
funding needs to be available for engineeringextracurriculars in low economic and rural school districts. To improve the perceptions of womxnand other underrepresented identities in STEM, the representation of scientists and engineers needsto be shifted in the classroom and in media. Textbooks, educational videos, and classroomexamples need to depict people with different genders, races, and ethnographies, allowing youngstudents to see themselves as engineers. Teachers need to be trained on how to avoidmicroaggressions and foster inclusivity in classrooms. Diversity, inclusion, and ethics need to beincluded in the K-12 STEM curriculum.Undergraduate education: Following changes to K-12 education, undergraduate education needsto undergo systemic
enrollment data by gender and race were available. Since this data is publiclyavailable, our research ethics board does not require research study review.Gender data was limited to the categories “male” and “female”. We will use these terms whenexamining the data, but will use the terms “men” and “women” in discussing the results in linewith our constructionist approach to gender [33]. We acknowledge that there is a difference inmeaning between these terms (e.g., male versus man), and that the dataset does not represent allgenders (i.e., non-binary).Racial data was distributed among the following categories: ● American Indian/Alaska Native ● Asian ● Black ● Foreign ● Hispanic ● Multiracial (added in 2010) ● Native Hawaiian

We hosted threeseparate sessions, having each of the groups participating separately. Sessions that involvedGroups S and F were conducted face-to-face, while the Group A session was held via Zoom Ⓡ.For the face-to-face session, we provided coffee, biscuits and other food for the attendees. Inboth formats, participants were formally welcomed and then we introduced the dynamics andobjectives of the sessions. Then we proceed to ask them to read and sign the informed consentdocument as part of the ethical framework of the research, which included consent to have
