will help guide thisoverview. Firstly, aerospace engineers are often engaged in the design of large scale complexengineered systems, and design involves an individual’s technical competency integrated into ateam of specialists and generalists. For example, a team of propulsion engineers in an enginecompany may coordinate and communicate with a team of propulsion integration engineers in anairframe company, and those integration engineers are simultaneously coordinating with aircraftperformance engineers and the flight test team. Secondly, because of complexity of the systemsand specialty of the engineer, an engineer’s experience is unique. For example, a propulsionengineer in a propulsion company may have a very different experience from a
potential area of involvement. The findings of this studymay not only demonstrate how limited and inaccessible these instruments currently are due to alack of widespread attention and development, but also outline what the major areas of concernare when designing these instruments. Inclusion of adapted instruments in the breadth ofengineering education curriculums and research can not only improve the experience ofphysically disabled musicians but also enable engineering students to develop a broaderunderstanding of how engineering can be used to close gaps in equity.Upon reviewing the survey of adaptive instruments, we were able to identify 9 major categoriesof design characteristics that appear to most contribute to an adapted instrument's

These funds of knowledge include defining andsolving problems in the midst of financial and material scarcity; building, fixing, and adaptingtechnical artifacts and systems; and empathizing with marginalized groups and communities. Wesuggest that these knowledges position LIFGs as effective innovators of engineering design forcommunity development, though few pursue this path because of financial constraints.

These measure how much output can be derivedfrom certain inputs, but they tell us nothing about how any technological

beliefs play a complete mediating rolewhen assessing the persistence of interest in pursuing an engineering major, contingent on one'sself-perceived identity as an engineer. As a composite framework of self-beliefs, Godwin andKirn's model, which integrates identity and motivation, reveals a limited but noteworthyenhancement in explaining the variance associated with students' enduring commitment to anengineering major, surpassing the contributions of either identity or motivation constructsoperating in isolation.Utilizing a survey with open-ended questions, students were encouraged to enumerate the factorsimpacting their confidence in achieving success in a first-year engineering course at PurdueUniversity [2]. Subsequently, students were
engineering-specific disciplines even though Next Generation Science Standard haveplaced an emphasis on teaching engineering concepts and practices in the K-12 curriculum [2].The entire engineering community has been working to address this concern through STEM nightsas schools, activity days at museums, and active involvement in the community. These STEMnights are amazing; however, one challenge with these events is that they are geared towards alarger audience (e.g., >50 people per event) for a short duration (e.g., 15-60 min) and the briefcontact time may not be sufficient to truly inspire potential young scientists and engineers oreducate them about engineering and the engineering design process.

Scholars)According to an ACT study, student retention can be improved by integrating both academic andnon-academic factors, such as academic self-confidence, achievement, motivation, institutionalcommitment, and social support.39 In many instances and despite poor academic performance,students persist because they feel like they fit within the institution and that they are sociallyintegrated.40 Studies suggest that programs that explicitly include mentoring and support groupsimprove student involvement, motivation, and academic self-confidence and, in turn, increaseinstitutional commitment and engagement.41, 42 Inclusive, welcoming institutional environmentsand the connections students feel have been linked to persistence.43-45 Other research

Integrating their knowledge built within thecourse, students are asked to write about a concept, model, topic, or issue pertaining todeterministic and stochastic inventory modeling.Creative Writing Assignments. The first poem-writing assignment required students to create an“I am” poem about themselves. This assignment allowed students to experiment and gain someexperience with the specific poetic form on a topic that is personal and well known to them. Thisassignment is due in the second week of the course to encourage creative thinking early on. Thesecond poem-writing assignment required students to create an

Alvesson and Jonsson (2016) conducted an in-depth single case study ofa middle manager in a large, international manufacturing company, completing ten interviewsand eight observations of the manager in meetings [8]. Their findings challenge the dominantperceptions of leadership in the literature which are based on “assumptions of coherence,integration, context and direction” (p.13). Instead, the researchers found fragmentation betweenthe manager’s leadership ideas and practice, with noticeable differences between espousedleadership meanings and their actual use in practice [8].
