NSF-funded project at UTEP dedicated to broadening the participation of Latinx students in higher edu- cation. American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Latinx Students’ Sense of Belonging in Engineering and Computer Science at an HSIThe persistent under-representation of Latinx people, particularly Latinas, in Engineering andComputer Science (E&CS) is well-documented. This under-representation occurs both in thepipeline into and through undergraduate E&CS studies, as well as into the profession: only one-tenth of E&CS degrees were awarded to “Hispanics” in the ten-year period from 2004 to 2014[1], while 2018 data showed that only 8% of the

This study, which is part of a largerNSF-funded project within the CareerWISE (CW) research program, highlighted the voices ofwhite women and WoC in STEM doctoral programs with the goal of identifying factors thatpromote their STEM persistence. A total of 33 women in STEM doctoral programs across theUnited States were interviewed. Participants were asked to provide recommendations for fellowwomen in STEM who are considering leaving their programs to facilitate their persistenceamidst challenges they might face. The findings were summarized into four broad themes: 1)seek interpersonal support, 2) prioritize mental health and wellbeing, 3) affirm and encourageone’s belongingness in STEM, and 4

The purpose of this work is to explore if there is a relationship between a participant’srace/ethnic background and the paradigm which they hold, specifically that of the NewEcological Paradigm. This will provide educators and researchers a way to increase ourknowledge for broadening the participation of traditionally marginalized populations inengineering. This project utilized existing survey data of senior engineering students at a U.S.university to investigate this relationship. It is hypothesized that students from traditionallyunderrepresented groups and people of color will be more likely to endorse the New EcologicalParadigm than their White counterparts.

Inparticular, it is not known how emotion and intuition actually influence ethical decision-makingof engineering students.In this work-in-progress paper, we present preliminary results of our exploratory investigationabout how emotion and intuition permeate engineering students’ experiences with ethics. Weanalyzed 11 interview transcripts, which had been collected as part of a larger longitudinal,mixed-method research project with engineering students. We conducted an inductive thematicanalysis and found that students experienced a wide range of moral emotions from positive tonegative depending on the situation.

By 1996, the project grew to involve more than100 faculty members in two- and four-year higher education institutions; it was followed by theCurriculum Mainstreaming Teaching Initiative that involved faculty from New Jersey, Maryland,Massachusetts, New York, Illinois, California and Tennessee.History textbooks in British Columbia tended to add content about women’s issue in sidebarsand asides from the main text.

These strategies appear to be ones that expert designers employautomatically, without consciously deciding to do so[24]. The heuristics were individuallyextracted across multiple concepts from multiple designers to reflect a useful level of abstractionin describing how to alter design characteristics to create new ones[25]. The resulting set of DesignHeuristics capture 77 different strategies, each of which can be applied independently or in tocreate new designs[26].The set of Design Heuristics is packaged as an instructional tool for

Thesteady rise starting around 1980 coincides with the time that personal computers became bothpopular and affordable; for example the IBM PC was introduced in 1981. The accessibilityof technology to all age groups has only grown since then (Mawson, 2007).

important factor in persistence to degree completion. For example, somestudies report that the diversity gap in STEM participation may be attributed more to perceptionsand beliefs than to academic preparation or achievement levels [1-5]. To the extent that suchperceptions and beliefs form an inaccurate (or “negative”) vision of a future engineering career,curricular approaches that aim to form a more “positive” vision may be warranted. Theseapproaches can be pedagogical, such as collaborative and project-based learning [6-8], content-based by aiming (for example) to expose the positive contributions of engineering to society [9-12], or both. All other things being equal, curricular features than can foster among students amore positive

While engineering mechanics coursesare not always associated with student team projects, these courses provide the opportunity toshow students how teamwork and diversity are relevant to problem solving. And, as mechanics-oriented courses often dominate the sophomore and junior level of many engineering programs,they can be an important venue for providing continuous instruction to students about workingwith others and in teams.
