Math/Science Career Conferences for Girls Lillian L. Goettler North Dakota State University In 1975 a number of women scientists and engineers in the San Francisco Bay area organized the first Expanding Your Horizons career conference to interest girls in math/science based careers. These one-day confer- ences offer giris a variety of hands-on workshop experiences as well as an opportunity to get to know women active in math/science fields and discuss their career paths and plans. These conferences were well re- ceived in the Bay area and inspired many similar conferences across the country. Two years ago at this time, a colleague from the Mathematical Sciences Department, Dr. Doris

weaponry—even as a point of discussion—isapparently outside the scope of the course, despite evident student curiosity and the seeminglylogical connection of nuclear weaponry to the course theme (including the pervasiveness ofengineering careers directly or indirectly connected to the military sector [22]). The topic ofnuclear weaponry repeatedly goes unaddressed, and students repeatedly seek to bring it up. Thisdimension of HC includes those topics notably absent from the formal curriculum, notableespecially when their inclusion would seem to be reasonable or even likely. A third implicitlesson extends the second and is conveyed by the quality of interaction between students andfaculty participants, or at least how the quality of that interaction

work (average 8.4, Table 2), but perhaps this wasdue to other courses that they had taken rather than the senior-level engineering professionalismand ethics course. I2 required multiple ethics courses outside engineering that were taken earlierin their undergraduate careers, and perhaps those courses were viewed as being more helpful. Inaddition, the I2 course was new (in first to third iterations) and the alumni who responded to thesurvey had only worked for about 1 year after graduating. The short time in-practice was notatypical compared to alumni respondents from institutions I3, I6, and I7. The exemplarinstructors from I1, I3, I6, I7 did appear to have more established courses. More information isneeded to understand this difference; with

draws from multiple theories of motivation and other affective factorssuch as agency and identity, and that includes “Big Five” personality constructs, was used tocollect data from sophomore, junior and senior civil engineering students at a single institutionover a two-year period. Prior studies have focused on the instrument’s latent constructs, and thisanalysis examines how some of the constructs influence each other. Specific latent constructs ofgoal orientation, agency (students’ beliefs that their career in science or engineering can lead topositive effects on the world), future time perspective (FTP), and personality type were selectedfor secondary data analysis based on existing theory about relationships between motivation,goal setting
c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 A Narrative Inquiry Exploring the Role of Ambiguity Tolerance in an Engineering Professionals Identity as a LeaderAbstract Engineering leaders acquire knowledge, skills, behaviors, and experiences throughouttheir career that are continually renegotiated in their ongoing sense-making of their personalnarrative. This research endeavor (part of a larger study) explored identity through theperceptions of graduate students aiming to earn an Engineering Technical Management degreeand their beliefs about leading in the engineering field. The survey results showed thatprofessionals in the program see a correlation between their belief in self as a leader and
compe- tency for the engineering/construction workforce. As director of the Simmons Research Lab, her work on competence development in civil engineers and construction professionals has included a focus on out-of- class involvement and affective engagement in the educational experience, which she explored through an NSF-funded CAREER award. Her work has also explored competence development in the workplace and investigated factors such as personal satisfaction and resilience, organizational culture, informal learning, and work values. Her research has included a major emphasis on the leadership development of engi- neering and construction professionals, and she was the principal investigator of an NSF-funded grant

[5] One consequence of this lack of leadership developmentis that non-engineers often manage civil engineers because they were perceived to possess “…stronger leadership, communication, and business skills".[5]In 2006, the American Society of Civil Engineers convened a “Summit on the Future of CivilEngineering” in response to concerns for the civil engineering profession's future and articulatedan “aspirational global vision,” the Vision 2025 statement. [3] Part of this vision was for civilengineers to serve “competently, collaboratively, and ethically” as master “leaders in discussionsand decisions shaping public environmental
