I have my transfer credits, they haven't all been aligned or something like that. The other negative is that I'm going to have to take the qualifying exam here…. Different teachers, different textbooks, different emphasis. I'm pretty worried about that….I usually rely on students to tell me about [opportunities], and I don't know too many people here…. I haven't done much preparing, honestly. I don't have a very clear plan.” - XenaThe number of hurdles she faced were intimidating

a conversation in theengineering education community. The purpose of this paper was to lay the groundwork forthinking about and researching underlying or latent aspects of diversity in engineering students.This paper also makes the argument that separate research across domains of students’ attitudes,beliefs, and mindsets need to be understood together rather than separately to see a morecomprehensive picture of the types of students entering and exiting engineering education. Thetheories and research included in this paper provide a starting point for future work inunderstanding how latent diversity is present in engineering students and how it influences diversestudents’ pathways into and out of engineering.

Resilience isdefined as students’ ability to succeed despite challenges, temporary or long-term setbacks, andnegative experiences.25-26 That is, resilient students are able to recover from academic and socialsetbacks, which may include, but are not limited to, poor academic performance on

Taken together with theresults from the other regression analyses conducted for non-engineering, STEM-related careers(Table 6) and educational career pathways (Table 7), our results indicate the FGCS with higherphysics identities are more likely to choose engineering as a stepping stone to other careerpathways.These results have implications for how engineering courses are taught, especially for FGCS. Ouranalysis suggests that FGCS may have alternative career plans or long-term goals and motivationas non-FGCS for studying engineering. Providing opportunities to engage in other

We did not attempt to pursue or resolve this paradox in thisstudy, but it continues to present an opportunity for future research.External events – transitions in university or college leadership or new strategic plans – do seemto have had at least some impact on the teams. High-performing teams, in particular, report thatthese changes were positive developments. We did not explore the extent to which this wasdisproportionately a matter of perception for high-performing teams.AreasforcontinuingandadditionalresearchThere is much yet to learn about the dynamics of making change in engineering education.

Wicked problems are ambiguous, interrelated andrequire complex problem-scoping and solutions that are not amenable with traditional and linearstrategic planning and problem-solving orientations [2].As design thinking provides an approach to solve complex problems that occur in organizationalcultures [3], we argue that these wicked problems of engineering education cultures might bebest understood and resolved through design thinking. As Elsbach and Stigliani contend, “theeffective use of design thinking tools in organizations had a profound effect on organizationalculture” [3, p. 2279].However, not all organizational cultures support

Whilethree men and two women with traditional scholarship had been promoted, word spread thatthree women in STEM disciplines, with a broad range of contributions, had been deniedpromotion from Associate to Full. Although there were no references to these cases in officialdocuments, negative reaction to these decisions seemed to galvanize efforts to put brakes on thePC’s proposals. In its April minutes, the GC reported receiving a letter from several facultyasking for broader input and community discussion about promotion criteria.

Students could also identify alternate sources ofknowledge that would be useful to solving the larger homelessness problem “(e.g., social policy,urban planning, nutrition science, distributive economics)” [17]. 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). Finally, students could contrast how their solutions would differ using only
