I'm just gonna like lean into what I'm great at and do that, because that's what makes me happy. (…) If I could have went back and had a best case scenario, if I could have had a mentor or someone who like trained me on how to be good at both, as opposed to having to pick a path, I think that would have kept me staying in engineering as opposed to now I'm leaning into what people said I was good at and I'm going to Business School.

three surveys are concerning,it is important to keep in mind that the effects of the GrOW initiative cannot be isolated. Mostparticipants attended only 1-3 events in the series. Other factors, such as societal and institutionalbiases and discrimination, may also be contributing to the participants’ decreasing feelings ofbelonging, anxiety, confidence, and preparedness. Despite these challenges, the program’s effortsto support and empower gender minority students in engineering were widely well-received, asshown through direct testimonials. By providing a space for these students to connect with oneanother and offering resources to navigate the unique challenges they may face, the program hasundoubtedly had a positive impact.

engineering can change to be better aligned with students’values and interests and how intentional curriculum design can change the culture in engineering.With these motivations, experiences, and prior literature in mind, we came to this studyexpecting to find some students’ interests in engineering not aligned with the messaging theyreceive in their coursework. Because of the technical focus of many engineering courses, weexpected some students to seek out skills and knowledge beyond what courses emphasized,while other students would have a strong sense of alignment with their engineering curriculum.3.2 Research questionsThe aim of this study was to understand what curricular messaging engineering students receivedabout engineering practice within

For example, some male studentsmentioned that maybe there are not as many women in engineering because it does not interestwomen, or that we should not push diversity into STEM fields so much because diversity does notimprove the performance of a group.In a study published by the American Sociological Review, Herring suggests that diversity canhave a positive impact on business performance. Diverse groups can leverage their experiencesand perspectives to solve problems and make decisions in a way that like-minded groups cannot.While some men in our study see this as diversity quotas where women are hired solely based ontheir gender, there is growing research that shows diversity adds value to teams and organizations.Herring’s findings show
