’ understanding ofengineering as a possible career path and, at worst, fosters misconceptions about the nature ofengineering. Furthermore, treating engineering as a solely technical field may be particularlydetrimental to students from underrepresented communities and to women, groups for whichsocial concerns and community relationships are often of importance.Despite significant effort on the part of the engineering community, engaging future engineers inways that support their trajectories into engineering careers remains a substantial challenge forengineering education programs3. In particular, recruitment and retention of women and studentsfrom underrepresented minority populations have proven difficult to increase1.Recently, several scholars have

Leveraging these environments requires curricula that are appropriate forthe OST setting. Such curricula can engage learners, respond to their backgrounds and interests,and connect with home and communities [8]. High-quality OST engineering curricula thus canenhance youth learning and engagement, and are important tools for OST educators. Recently,engineering curricula have been developed specifically for the OST community. To engage alllearners, it is important that engineering curricula provide opportunities for youth to activelyengage in the practices of engineering, to see relevancy, to collaborate, and to have opportunitiesto develop

Some situations requireintervention by those with authority, some can be confronted directly by individuals, and stillothers should be ignored. To better understand how students and faculty should respond to sexistcomments made by one student to another, we interviewed engineering students, professionals,and faculty, asking them to respond to two different real-life scenarios containing sexistcomments.We found that three-fourths of professionals and over one-third of students had experiencedinappropriate behaviors that could be labeled as sexist.

As noted earlier,there is expected overlap between responses and instructors in the Power and the Peers andColleagues themes.

Perhaps those who employ a Go It Alone strategy for their IMselection also opt to teach courses without a strong Power dynamic at play.
