experiences that caused them to see themselves as differentiated from the broader group ofresearch engineers. This within-group differentiation appears to be grounded in fairly routine experiencesas a member of an under-represented group in a STEM field. Ironically, despite the clear disempoweringimpact that these experiences can have, there is also some evidence that they may promote thedevelopment of alternative value structures and feelings of purpose related to STEM fields for membersof underrepresented groups. 15ReferencesAlexander, C.

In this discussion, we reflect on the opportunities of teaching and learningengineering and the accompanying tensions that arise in doing so.Our engineering curricular units are designed to be integrated into science or STEM time in K-8educational settings—both in school and out-of-school settings. Through our testing withteachers, we learned that setting engineering in broad societal issues offered an authentic visionfor engineering in society, but also posed problems for teachers constrained by time.

Engineering’ departments in USuniversities have evolved into interdisciplinary and collaborative Materials Science andEngineering programs. Over the last few decades, MSE has become collaboratively involved inthe fields of biology (biomaterials and biomedical research), mechanical engineering (machinecomponents, MEMS and tribology), electrical engineering (semiconductors), physics andchemistry (nanomaterials and solid-state physics research). The applicability of MSE to varioustraditional engineering programs also means that students from other (not majoring in MSE)disciplines are also required to register for an introductory level materials class as a part of theircore undergraduate curriculum. However, many of the traditional textbooks that are
