Findings suggest that women have clear interests and preconceptions about engineering career paths early in their undergraduate education and may hold implications for women students’ eventual career decisions and the patterns of intra-occupational gender segregation in engineering industry.

?IntroductionGraduate student instructors (GSIs) are not only essential to the instructional team at manyresearch institutions, but their teaching appointments are often the only teaching experiencesthey have prior to becoming faculty. Moreover, GSIs have been found to play an important rolein improving student retention and inclusion in science, technology, engineering and math fields(STEM) [1]. Undergraduate instructional aids (IAs) have also been found to benefit studentlearning [2, 3, 4], and their training is fundamental to that success [4, 5]. As a result, calls havebeen made to develop and improve the professional development of student instructors [4, 6].Trainings at different institutions range from two-hour departmental orientations with no

The White dominant perspective, or dominant social paradigm (DSP), istypically characterized as a world view in which humans subdue or conquer the natural world inorder to support technological progress [5]. This paradigm is so embedded in engineering that itis considered the norm, hence, we need an understanding of how other worldviews can also beincorporated in engineering. Since worldviews are often influenced by individuals’ homecultures [6], conflict and marginalization can particularly occur when a student’s worldviewdiffers from the anthropocentric worldview that dominates White cultures – includingengineering education. A person’s worldview has been defined as “the perspective, or thinking,or
