This breadth of pathways is important when considering recruitment and careeradvancement policies. A “one size fits all” approach to recruitment, especially if that approach is modeledon the tenure-track recruitment criteria, will result in policies that exclude some candidates whoseperspectives and experiences would be an asset to the program.

Furthermore, they could identifywhat assumptions need to be challenged (e.g., what percentage of homeless people are adults vs.children, veterans vs. non-veterans, or how many actually own a coat that provides sufficientwarmth).

What was similar among these fourparticipants was that both the man and women who expressed only controlled motivations alsodisplayed lower self-confidence regarding both engineering work and their career pathwaychoices than those participants expressing some autonomous motivations.For those participants who lacked the autonomous motivation, a universal expression of low self-efficacy emerged, particularly with regard to more technical tasks.

This is because students have control over their design and technology choices, butcannot do much about the MAE curriculum and have difficulty countermanding the adviceof the faculty advisor. Thus the authors embarked on a plan to remedy two issues with this situation: • the reliance on faculty to bridge students’ skill gap, • the inaccessibility of a pathway through the curriculum that allows students to build their skills to the level these competitions require.Addressing the first issue requires the faculty to download their knowledge to the students ina more formal way, other than individual coaching.
