While STEM as an aggregation of fields has become a point of focusbecause of the disciplines’ long-standing lack of faculty diversity [27], there are a few studiesthat examine differences between disciplines. Gumpertz et al. [28] analyzed institutional recordsat four large land grant universities for hiring of assistant or associate professors. Data weredisaggregated by gender/discipline and race/discipline. The team found that women inengineering were more likely than men to leave the institution and depart without tenure. Theyfound no such differences between genders in science, technology, and mathematics. The authorsnoted that minority faculty

Fifth, and most importantly, teachers canencourage students to contribute their own questions to the conversation. Student-generatedquestions had the greatest impact on whether or not a conversation would become dialogic orwould stay monologic.

Connections need to be fosteredthroughout the curriculum by the faculty in order for the engineering student to mature into afunctioning engineer [4]. Helping students to create a connected narrative arc of conceptsthroughout the curriculum facilitates deeper understanding of topics, increased critical thinking,and engineers who can approach problems from multiple angles.

Possible causes and recommendations are provided as part of this work.IntroductionThere is an increasing need to prepare future engineers with technical and professional skills tobe competitive in the global market. Technical knowledge has been traditionally taught in aneffective way but the professional skills had been placed in a second tier. This has been the trenduntil the new global economy and information technology developments started calling forengineers with traits and abilities beyond the technical knowledge. Teamwork, communication,and global awareness skills are now essential topics in the engineering curriculum. As a result,students are exposed to educational experiences where such competencies can be
