With Engaged Teaching Hub, Minju has designed TA training materials for oral exams and have conducted quantitative analysis on the value of oral exams as early diagnostic tool (Kim et al., ASEE 2022). Minju is interested in designing assessments that can capture and motivate students’ deep conceptual learning, such as oral exams and the usage of visual representations (e.g., diagrams and manual gestures).Josephine Relaford-Doyle, University of California, San DiegoDr. Carolyn L.

theory, which has been used to analyze students’motivation to persist in rigorous engineering programs (Matusovich, 2013).Similarly, religious identity refers to similar characteristics, values, and beliefs and directly affectsbehaviors of many individuals within the communities. For more than a generation, studies have shownreligiously engaged individuals to be more civically engaged (Wuthnow, 1999; Lewis, Mcgregor &Putnum, 2013; Rockenbach, 2020). This characteristic may directly relate to women from religiouscommunities finding more meaning in careers such as engineering as they relate to contributions tobroader society.Women are less prominent in engineering fields than men (Pawley 2019).

extremely common. Current work presented at ASEE 2023 quantitativelyvalidates this common theme, with ~50% of engineering graduate students listing sunk cost as oneof their top three reasons for persisting in their PhD. We also have elicited a conversation ofgender informed opportunity cost: Particularly for women engineering graduate students,conversations around future career balance and the physical ability to have children begins toemerge at the graduate level in ways not previously discussed in engineering education literature.Publications:Sallai, G., Bahnson, M, and Berdanier, C.G.P.

IntroductionEfforts to broaden the participation of women and people of color within engineering andcomputing education have made incremental improvements in the U.S. but, overall, continue tohave challenges. The under-representation of women and ethno-racial minorities in STEM fieldsis nothing new [1]. Based on a 2021 report, the share of women in computer occupationsdeclined from 30% in 2000 to 25% in 2016 and has remained stable until 2019 [2]. Womencontinue to be vastly underrepresented in the ranks of engineers and architects (15% in 2019
