longitudinal development of this sample throughout the four-year duration oftheir engineering scholarships at a large urban public research university in the southeast. Thestudy sample (N = 15) included five women and ten men who were undergraduate students incivil engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering, electrical engineeringtechnology, mechanical engineering, and mechanical engineering technology. Although we arestill in the initial stages of coding, we intend to report our findings of the full study sample. Forthe purposes of this preliminary study, we used a sub-sample of the participants (n = 5). Thesub-sample of participants included two women and three men who were undergraduatestudents, ranging from sophomore to senior, in

The word ‘Production Engineering’ wassynonymous with the term ‘Manufacturing Engineering ’of today. While Production Engineering I used tocover all the “hardware” of industrial manufacturing processes, Production Engineering II dealt with thesofter sides of manufacturing what we call today as “Manufacturing Systems”. Manufacturing systemsinclude statistical tools in quality control where the IE students not only feel comfortable but can alsocontribute significantly to the class.

The interventions were adapted from prior successful interventions byestablished researchers. Preliminary results upon the conclusion of the Spring 2016 semestershowed that the interventions had different effects on different demographic groups.

A decline in STEMproficiency has been reported in America, leading to significant regression from its position asa global leader in math and science. Debbie Myers, general manager of DiscoveryCommunications in STEM Diversity Symposium concluded: "International comparisons placethe U.S. in the middle of the pack globally." For the United States to achieve a competitiveadvantage, there is a need to encourage young people to develop a passion for learning andspecifically encourage minorities and females to pursue STEM careers [1]. Another report named "Rising above the Gathering Storm" indicated that the U.S. is
helping students engage indiscussions of engineering research’s impact on society. However, we have yet to find anexample of an introductory level course that discusses these topics geared toward theprofessional development of graduate engineering students within a broad range of career andresearch interests. Thus, we sought to develop a course that would help graduate studentresearchers understand the terminology around inequities and justice; interrogate well-knowncases of engineering research across a range of applications, technology, and higher educationbias and discrimination; reflect and discuss how their own research areas impact society; andform a plan for how they may address or actively prevent potential injustices.

be a “good” engineer.IntroductionIn 2004, the National Academies of Engineering released the “The Engineer of 2020: Visions ofEngineering in the New Century” report in an effort to highlight the role engineers would hold inour future society [1]. A topic of discussion was the impact of the engineer on societal changes,focusing mainly on the importance of incorporating social contexts into engineering. TheNational Academy of Engineering envisioned an era of engineering education that resulted inengineers that are “leaders, able to balance the gains afforded by new technologies with thevulnerabilities created by their byproducts without compromising the well-being of society andhumanity” [1, p. 19].

This path oftenrequires students to develop an interest in STEM by middle school, choose particular math andscience courses in middle- and high-school, and gain experience and exposure in STEMactivities through their high school tenure. While successful for approximately 7% of studentswho entered 9th grade in 2001, this system has

Technology emphasis in Cyber Security. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Cybersecurity Camp - A Call for AwarenessAbstractThe demand for cybersecurity analysts and awareness is increasing, the employment ofinformation security analysts is projected to grow 37 percent from 2012 to 2022, much fasterthan the average for all occupations. Today, women represent just 10 percent of thecybersecurity workforce. Thus, to increase the amount of people going into cybersecurity,primarily women, we must start at the base: schools. There, we can emphasize the need for beingcyber savvy and also address the need to have balanced teams of men and women.In 2015, we hosted a Girls Cybersecurity Camp

curricular strategy that has gained recent interest and attention for strengthening students’sociotechnical thinking is the incorporation of sociotechnical content into existing engineeringcoursework, where both technical and non-technical aspects of engineering are highlighted in theengineering curriculum. Sociotechnical material has been integrated into engineering sciencecourses (e.g., [31]-[35]) as well as other more technical engineering courses, such as anintroduction to computing course [36], a feedback systems control course [37], and a computervision technology course [38]. Courses have also been created to focus on a sociotechnicalengineering framework (e.g., [39],[40]), including first-year introduction to engineering courses(e.g., [41
