involveintense identity exploration and a period of planning for the transition to a career and adulthood[1]. When coupled with the demands of rigorous academic coursework and requirements, thisperiod of development can present significant psychological challenges. Indeed, mental healthconcerns have been increasing on college campuses, as students report more symptoms of stress,depression, and anxiety [2], [3]. This is concerning given the evidence of the link betweenmental health during college and students’ academic achievement, retention, work-ethic, andsocial well-being [1], [4]. Perhaps more alarming is the fact that suicide is the second-leadingcause of death on college campuses [1], [5].Seeking help from mental health professionals is one way

and content knowledge. This is an important consideration for CS education, asteachers must understand how to integrate computer science skills and competencies into theirlesson plans. Pilot projects and localized programs have shown success in developing thiscapacity within teachers. For example, a researcher group from University of SouthernCalifornia collaborated with nine teachers in three elementary schools in the Latino communityof Boyle Heights in Los Angeles and created the Building Opportunities with Teachers inSchools (BOTS) program [11]. The focus of this program is to use robotics and other non-computer-based activities to teach CS concepts in a physical form. One of the long-term goals ofthe BOTS program is to provide a low-cost

designed” andthus, perhaps overcoming the design fixation.3. Deep Structure: Approach to DesignBuilding on the relationship between breadth, depth and design, instructors mentioned thatdesign prepares students “for some of the practical realities of being an engineer” and providesan opportunity to “use a knowledge of math and science technical knowledge to create some newproduct” while experiencing “open-ended questions”. Design was also mentioned to be a vehicleto enhance other skills such as teamwork, communication skills, persistence and planning a largeproject in stages. Instructors who teach design were explicitly asked to comment on the role ofdesign in engineering science vs. in other, more traditional engineering programs. No

phase.Conclusions: In future work, the researchers aim to develop tools to assess technical skill development. Ifthere was a way to demonstrate growth or improvement in skill development during the undergraduateexperience, it would serve two purposes. First, it could serve as a method to evaluate the technical workthat occurs in the design classroom, more fairly and with clear transparency to the students. Second, itwould allow students to see how their skills have developed over the course of their education. In general,differences among gender, 1st-generation and students with low- and high- engineering self-efficacy allsuggest that a variety of these activities should be planned intentionally to promote exposure to anddevelopment of technical skillsets

, further contributing to hostile working environments and isolation [20].Self-efficacy and its four sources Self-efficacy refers to an individual’s beliefs in their capabilities to plan and take actionto achieve a particular outcome [21]. There are four major sources of self-efficacy [21]: (1)mastery experiences, (2) vicarious experiences, (3) social persuasions, and (4) physical andemotional states. Mastery experiences are the interpreted result of an individual’s pastperformances, such as how a woman evaluates her self-efficacy in a course based upon the gradesreceived for that class.Vicarious experiences are where individuals observe others performingtasks, such as a woman undergraduate student observing a fellow woman undergraduate

He had been actively involved in planning, designing, supervising, and constructing many civil engineering projects, such as roads, storm drain systems, a $70 million water supply scheme which is comprised of treatment works, hydraulic mains, access roads, and auxiliary civil works. He had developed and opti- mized many highway design schemes and models. For example, his portfolio includes a cost-effective pavement design procedure based on a mechanistic approach, in contrast to popular empirical procedures. In addition, he had been equally engaged in the study of capacity loss and maintenance implications of local and state

The logic in this study is thatthe on-the-job experiences of engineering alumni provide a ‘jolt’ that causes them to reflect anddraw upon the ethical reasoning that they may have developed during college extracurricularactivities.Research QuestionsTwo research questions were explored in this study: RQ1.

things she needed to do to excel. As she states, “When I started my job at AOC, I was nervous about the engineering work. This was my first exposure to such work and I had always believed I wasn’t smart enough to be an engineer due to my difficulty in math and science. However, I faced my fear, participated on every project team to which I was assigned, and eventually learned to read blueprints and plans allowing me to perform the work for which I was hired. Some people even said I couldn’t do it, that I would quit the job because I didn’t have an engineering background. I proved them all wrong.”As this statement indicates, Marjory explains that even though women are so often doubted inengineering, it

engineering identities“must negotiate the roles they play within the community of engineering as a discipline, ingroups with their peers, and within the classroom.” Tonso [25] describes identity development as“a complicated process through which campus engineer identities (cultural knowledge learned oncampus) provided a lens of meaning through which to “recognize” (or not) performances ofengineer selves as engineers.” Particularly for women and students of color, engineering identitycan be very malleable and susceptible to change, with persistence and career plans able to be“strongly swayed” by even small interactions or experiences as undergraduates [29].Institutions themselves foster engineering identity development through displays of solidarity

Students hadacquired a sense of belonging and were more motivated to continue to be enrolled in engineeringcourses. One key aspect was that students were highly interested in conducting research which inturn they had already contacted some of the faculty members by the beginning of week one ofthe fall quarter. One student stated, “he allowed me to join his research even though I wasn'tofficially settled into school yet”. It appeared that their motivation level had seen an increasefrom when they initially attended the one-week program in comparison to their first week ofbeing enrolled at a four-year

Widely recognized examples of multi-lateral science diplomacy – such as,the 1954 founding of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (known asCERN), the 1959 signing of the Antarctic Treaty System, and the 1998 launch of theInternational Space Station – provide an insight into the three pillars of sciencediplomacy, namely: 1) scientists serving as diplomats (i.e., the Iran nuclear deal, formerlyknown as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action adopted in October
