-35.Limitations and Future WorkThe study described above was conducted by individuals with primary ties to industry, ratherthan a background or degree in engineering education; therefore, unique limitations and biasesmay exist within the data sets that are less common in studies conducted by typical engineeringeducators. Major ones are described below.The survey was designed with the engineering field, particularly that of industry, in mind asstudies show that 75% of engineers work in industry or government in 2018 [21]. However, non-engineers, those who have been disengaged from the engineering field for some time, or thosewho work distantly with engineers, may have taken the survey and found the questions to bemisleading or confusing.

Interestingly, prior to her internship Kayla hadother career paths in mind. She thought she “wanted to work in academia” but her internshipsparked her interest within the industry route. Kayla enjoyed working in the company, which“steered [her] more into working as a regular engineer” than she had expected. Kayla was notworking in an area that she was particularly interested in, nonetheless this did not deter her fromengineering. Her personal identity as an engineer was solidified. This finding is consistent withother studies that have found that internships increase student motivation to

While thesmall class sizes offered by small schools are beneficial in many ways, limited representation ofwomen and gender non-conforming students can potentially increase feelings of isolation.Representation among the faculty has been shown to go a long way in supporting these studentsand increasing their sense of belonging [35]. This is especially important in small school settingswith few engineering professors available. Schools should be hiring with diversity in mind andintentionally trying to increase representation of genders and races among the faculty.

Larry also felt that engineers had equal responsibilities to other communitymembers: I think engineers do just as much as anybody else in the community. Everyone has a part. I think specifically, they are suited more so that they could help come up with more ideas or something. But again, everyone has as part, so it’s not like these people have more of a part. Everyone has about an equal amount. – LarryEven though Larry recognized that engineers could use their skills to help generate solutions to acommunity issue, Larry’s response suggests that engineers

Professor of Civil Engineering (Retired) Principal, Geotechnical Engineering, Ames, IA, Email:w.akili@isunet.netAbstractThis paper focuses on the utilization of problem–based learning (PBL) in an engineeringprogram, and argues that implementation of problem-based learning needs to be placed in acontext and must be developed with careful consideration of the social, economic, and ethnicdiversity of the student population and the university academic culture and prevailing norms. Thepaper includes a brief history, selected PBL

Multiple autoethnographers collaborating, questioning each other, andexamining their own and each other’s data allows for complementarity and criticality of findings(Hernandez, Chang, & Ngunjiri, 2017; Chang et al., 2016). Furthermore, throughintersubjectivity (subjectivity shared by different minds/individuals) and multivocality, thesingularity of an individual’s experiences is tamed (Hernandez et al., 2017).

According to the NGSS, at the middle school level, the new standardsallow educators to provide participants with interactive instruction that promotes analysis and interpretation ofdata, critical thinking, problem-solving, and connections across science disciplines [3]. Keeping that in mind,the lessons were also developed to encourage participants to critically think about engineering at home.
