Appropriate definitions andmeasures of “success” for such efforts vary, and faculty members involved in theseefforts have concerns that narrow understanding of these efforts can marginalize theseinterdisciplinary and integrative experiences. The goal of this work is to support ongoingconversations in higher education about integrative and interdisciplinary education effortsby providing a shared language and classification system for understanding these efforts.This paper presents a classification system for integrative engineering education effortsand applies it to examples from our own institutions.

socioeconomic differences mean thatmany students that enter STEM fields may begin their careers at a disadvantage. It could also bea source of discouragement for these students, leading to a lack of diversity in engineering andother STEM fields. While this is an alarming problem, past data has shown that doing exercisesand activities that require using visual spatial skills can develop and enhance these skills. [19]The most effective tools and methods for promoting visual spatial retention and measuring theimprovements have been a topic of concern. Martin-Dorta et al. [20] created a game called“Virtual Blocks” for mobile devices to test its effectiveness in improving these skills andbridging the gap between genders. The game consisted of two activities

with so many professional obligations competing for our time and few tangible short-term career rewards for such activities, we often fail to get involved. This year, resolve to tithe 2% of your time to public engagement. This translates to an average of about 1 h per week writing op-ed pieces, giving lecture to community groups, providing pro bono support to a civic group – essentially anything that brings you into contact with people who do not know the difference between an IC and GC [19].But this encouragement towards public engagement in 2018 seems to contradict a prior warningoffered in an editorial in September, 2016 entitled, “Crossing The Imaginary Line,” [20] inwhich Sedlak had previously shared

The major goal of Techbridge is to help girls seeSET careers as a possibility for their own futures because the girls know they have the ability tosucceed in those fields. To accomplish this, Techbridge helps girls learn some technical skills inSET fields, gauge their interest in a variety of areas, and have up-close experiences interactingwith SET professionals in their workplaces.

Self-efficacy has been studied as both a task-specific setof beliefs (e.g., academic self-efficacy) [12], [15]–[19] or as a task-general set of beliefs (e.g.,generalized self-efficacy) [10], [20]. In this study, we chose to use Sherer et al’s generalized self-efficacy scale due to the open-ended nature of the mental health assignment used in the study.Additionally, some researchers suggest that improving generalized self-efficacy will alsoincrease task-specific self-efficacy [10], [21].According to Sherer et al, generalized self

Often, engineers andengineering educators fail to recognize the impacts of socio cultural practices in engineering,including those that emerge from transnational movements. In addition, the increase intransnational migration has propelled an anti-immigrant sentiment and socioculturaldisplacement from classrooms.
