RedShirt students in the sophomore and junioryears responded to a semi-structured list of questions through focus group participation, withsome individual follow-up interviews.The thematic findings from sophomores and juniors include: academic strategies for respondingto more challenging classes; adjusting to new peer groups; developing identity as a minoritizedstudent; effects of advising interactions; and, dealing with living arrangements and other externalfactors.

Engineering programs hear from their advisory boards and professionalorganizations of the importance of improving the written communication of their graduates[1], [2]. Educating students to become engineering writers, however, cannot happen in anyone course. Given the complexities of disciplinary writing and the number of audiences astudent will be communicating with once they enter the profession, a single course in writingis not adequate for students to develop as writers. Instead, research in writing studies

There arechallenges related to broadening participation in engineering that can be considered “blackholes” in the metaphorical space-time continuum that constitutes the “ivory tower.”Experiences of underrepresented scholars in engineering (undergraduates, graduate students,faculty) have been wrought with problems that have affected recruitment, retention, degreecompletion, and transition to careers. In this section, we will briefly discuss the three socialscience theories that can be used to develop an overarching construct for developing STEMcommunity: 1) Psychological Sense of Community, 2) Counter Spaces and Cultural Capital, and3) STEM Identity.4.1 Sense of CommunityThe theory of Psychological Sense of Community has

The coursework for this class included severalactivities that are “outside” the typical technical engineering classrooms, such as using Twitter asthe classroom communication tool. Because of this, the students could have been more primed tobe receptive to the curriculum based on class experience so far. When the unconscious biascurriculum is positioned as pertinent to the engineering students’ development in professionalcommunication, the module could theoretically be implemented in any engineering classroom.For the curriculum to be successful, the facilitator must be willing to share their

It also offers, as does M-Engin, programmatic elements that include skill development, motivational support and intrusiveadvising. The Meyerhoff study36 found these program elements were linked to student’s self-efficacy and therefore persistence in achieving a STEM degree and pursuing graduate study.Maton et al.37 also concluded that a sense of community contributed to a salient science identityand research self-efficacy.

Furthermore, although this characteristic is oftendecomposed into discrete educational outcomes such as teamwork or communication, definingand assessing outcomes necessarily emphasizes skill within a domain rather than synthesis acrossdomains.
