We end with our plans for improvements and future work with thismethod and the Advancing Cultural Change initiative at large.Background LiteratureWomen and people of color remain significantly underrepresented in engineering2. Thechallenge of recruiting and retaining women and people of color in engineering is due, in part, tothe exclusionary culture of the field. Engineering culture is perceived as being very competitiveand unwelcoming which prevent

suggested a move from“messing around” to “geeking out,” or from transitional to personal interest. John Cena began bytalking with other boys about weekend plans interspersed with questions about the lesson, thenmoving away from those boys to work on his design with another boy. Both boys focused ontheir work and designed and tested their products. John Cena’s behavior suggested a move from“hanging out”/situational to “messing around”/transitional interest. John had no interest in otherdesigns or taking his work home. The participation genres suggest a move from “hanging out,”to “messing around,” to “geeking out” and reflect an evolving interest for these students.55,56Below are Fig. 2, a photograph of John Cena and Fig. 3, a photograph of Caroline

For the first offering ofthe course (spring, 2016) we used the SALG survey and the focus group as primaryindirect assessments. Direct methods included student course work samples (a variety ofwritten work, posters, presentations and final projects), a pre/post analysis of a scenarioinvolving hazardous chemicals, and a video-recorded session of teams analyzing anambiguous scenario indirectly related to course content.

However, this system has often proven to developadversarial relationships among the project participants, majorly attributed to the lack ofcontractor's input in the design process, leading to change orders. Since the design process iscompleted with no contractor input, the probability of disputes deriving from behavioral andtechnical problems is significantly high. As for DB, the owner hires one single entity that servesas both the contractor and designer, allowing a single point of responsibility, contractor’s earlyinvolvement in design, and faster delivery [2, 3].

Further, student decisions toengage in global activities after returning from a global experience can increase the long-terminfluence of the global program on their attitudes and career plans [9]. These studies suggest thatalthough the structure and components of global programs can influence program outcomes,there can still be different pathways for students who have the same experience. As argued byStreitwieser and Light, global education research has often focused only on aggregate programoutcomes and not individual student experiences, but
