His research interests include information, video and signal processing, engineered healthcare and engineering education. He was appointed Dean of the College of Engineering in May 2018.Dr. Trish Wonch Hill Dr. Trish Wonch Hill is an applied sociologist who collaborates with scientists across STEM disciplines to investigate how to spark STEM career interests during childhood and adolescence. She is particularly interested in how to find STEM pathways for youth who belong to historically underrepresented groups (girls, rural youth, race/ethnic minorities).Mr. Michael LoehringDr. Emily Griffin Overocker, University of Nebraska

development of engineering standards (e.g., Engineering for USAll) and the growing number of public, private, and charter schools with engineering subjectsspeaks to an increasing interest in integrating engineering in the K-12 curriculum. However,because such efforts are not yet widely implemented, monitoring K-12 efforts of broadeningparticipation at the national level is unlikely. The same can also be said for informal engineeringeducation (outreach programs, museums, toys, etc.), which is also a prominent form ofparticipation in engineering at the K-12 level.After compulsory education, those wishing to pursue engineering as a career then proceed tohigher education. Here, this can entail the completion of an associate's degree, bachelor’s degree

importance of family in influencing different aspects of students’academics. For example, it was found that students taking an indirect path to a four-yearinstitution are more likely to have their parents involved academically by monitoring schoolworkand influencing the student’s academic plans [13]. Additionally, students at two-year institutionswho subsequently transferred to a four-year institution had, on average, a higher socioeconomicstatus than those who did not transfer to a four-year institution [13]. Specifically related toparental influences, parental behaviors were found to be related to a student’s career decision-making self-efficacy, or how strongly the student believes that they can complete the necessarytasks to make career

Research (CLUSTER). In her research, she is interested in understanding how engineering students develop their professional identity, the role of emo- tion in student learning, and synergistic learning. A recent research project uncovers the narratives of exemplary engineering faculty who have successfully transitioned to student-centered teaching strategies. She co-designed the environmental engineering synthesis and design studios and the design spine for the mechanical engineering program at UGA. She is engaged in mentoring early career faculty at her univer- sity and within the PEER National Collaborative. In 2013 she was selected to be a National Academy of Engineering Frontiers of Engineering Education Faculty

. Camacho is Professor of Sociology at the University of San Diego. She began her career at UC San Diego in 1999 as a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for US Mexican Studies, and later as a UC Faculty Fellow in Ethnic Studies. In 2015-16, she returned to UC San Diego as a fellow of the American Council on Education. As a bilingual/bicultural Latina, Camacho has 30 years of experience in higher ed- ucation advocating for underrepresented groups and first generation college students. For over a decade, her work on institutional transformation has received funding from the National Science Foundation to examine and address inequities in higher education, specifically as they relate to Science, Technology, Engineering and

, Steven described a desire to “travel more as itis my main goal in life on top of pursuing a career in engineering.”Concluding Discussion Although literature suggests that experiential global learning programs positively impactstudent outcomes, not all student groups are equally represented in global programs. As we havediscussed, some student groups remain systematically excluded from global programs inengineering, including prospective transfer students and students from low SES or first-generation backgrounds. Experiences of these students are underexplored largely because of theminimal representation of these groups in global programs. Thus, this paper illuminated theexperiences of prospective transfer students from low SES backgrounds
