]. Role StrainTheory has been studied to elucidate the complexities of the roles of faculty with invisibledisabilities [66] and the roles of parents of children diagnosed with SLD [67]. Like other organizations, institutions of higher learning reflect and normalize disconnectsbetween the presumed role expectations of faculty members depending on their social culturalidentity [68, 69]. The presumed role expectations and measures of adequacy are often inequitableand oppositional to challenging or transforming the paradigms that exacerbate the role strains ofwomen and in particular intersectional women [31, 68, 69] who are in disciplines within science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).Research Questions For this paper, the
may also be influenced by a learned professional outlook ororientation. However, student perceptions of creativity and technical fields may emerge and evensolidify prior to starting college coursework [10]. College-level instructors may thus encounterprior biases when formally teaching design to students for the first time. Before entering secondary education, students are not yet characterized by an associatedfuture profession—they are not yet “engineering” students. Instead, as the acronym STEM(Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) has become a widespread term in education tostrengthen and grow student awareness of these subjects, strong STEM associations mayinfluence students’ thinking about design in unintended ways.

There are many suchexamples of PBL senior project experiences in literature [14], [15] and project learning isexpected by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) for at least twodecades [16]. The key features of PBL [7] are: • A focus on a specific problem or challenge: PBL tasks are designed to simulate real- world problems or challenges that require students to apply critical thinking, problem- solving, and creativity. • Collaborative learning: Students typically work in groups, with each member contributing their unique skills and perspectives. • Student autonomy: Students have significant autonomy in designing and implementing the project

Many current strategies play a numbers game: they try toincrease the number of underrepresented students, both women and minorities, exposed toscience, or increase the number recruited3.

In the United States, the STEM job-growth rateoverall is more than twice the average rate for the total workforce [1, p. 201], with most jobopenings in computer science and engineering (CS&E) [2]. The limited representation ofwomen in these fields is apparent: Women comprise just 28 percent of workers in science andengineering fields overall, and even less in CS&E fields [3].These labor-force dynamics also reflect trends in U.S. higher education: Although women’spostsecondary attainment rates exceed men’s, women remain
