Johnson, University of South FloridaFernando Sánchez, University of St. ThomasAbstractUsing a citation network analysis, this project analyzes the 209 instances of the term“intersectionality” in the ASEE PEER repository to locate the central authors and texts thatinform the field’s use of the term. In this citational analysis, we suggest that the limited citationof Black women should be interrogated and redressed as a form of inequity. Framing this projectwithin the politics of citation and the current campaign to #CiteBlackWomen, we work toexplore how the term “intersectional” has been embraced, whose theories have been adopted,ignored

In addition,a series of academic articles, authored by influential policy thinkers, including universitypresidents and officials at the MoE, help elaborate the background, objectives, and implicationsof the 3E policy [16-19]. The official 3E policy documents are quite succinct in stating the goalsand strategies of engineering education reforms. To provide more context about the policydiscourse, we also examine four academic articles that aim to interpret the policy, authored byscholars who participated in the conversations that led to the formulation of the official 3E policydocuments.The following three sections present a close

Findings from the 2017 interviews revealed topics relatedto equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI). New questions were included in 2018 interviews toexplore EDI-related experiences and discourses. This paper focuses on the data from studentswho were interviewed in 2018. In summer 2018, the [first author] met with 4 male and 3 femalestudents, to examine issues linked with inclusion and exclusion. This led to a greaterunderstanding of the issues linked with gender, socioeconomic status, and race, as well as

We concludethat the S-L opportunity forces our students out of their comfort zone, helping them to grow asengineers who are better prepared for future challenges.IntroductionAt Northeastern University, located in the heart of Boston, MA, first-year engineering studentsare required to take a series of two courses known as Cornerstone of Engineering. In thesecourses, students learn programming, graphical design, problem solving and follow theengineering design process to create final projects that integrate all of their newly learned skills.While there are many engineering skills directly taught in this course, there are many ‘soft skills’such as empathy, professionalism, and adaptability that are indirectly taught along the
psychological interiorisation and dysfunctioningpractical implementation”.While it is self-evident that among any random group of individuals there will be differentlevels of understanding of engineering issues the literature hardly considers this to beproblematic. There is one report of an examination that illustrates this point which is given infull in the appendix. Part of a trial in examination design, it tested for comprehension,engineering analysis, project design, and engineering reasoning.

One needs multidisciplinarity and educational breadthto develop intellectual power and critical thinking. 42Perhaps the most unsurprising change to Criterion 3 is the removal of the word “political” and itsreplacement with the more palatable idea “policy.” Of course the two are not interchangeable.Political processes produce, enact, sustain, mediate, and change policies. 43 Political is the broaderterm, encompassing policy-making processes. By shifting to the term policy instead of political,ABET is shrinking the intended domain of action for engineers.

They believe that students shouldhave a strong foundation in mathematics, physics, and other relevant technical subjects.Practical Application: Practical application is often considered crucial in engineeringtechnology programs. Faculty members believe that students should have ample opportunities towork with equipment, conduct experiments, and engage in real-world projects to applytheoretical knowledge.Problem-Solving Skills: Engineering technology faculty often stress the development ofproblem-solving skills. They believe that students
