It isexpected that the ethical development that may occur when students participate in extracurricularactivities is due to intuitive, incidental, or retrospective approaches. 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. To what extent do engineering alumni perceive that extracurricular activities during

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

Traditionallytopics in a mechanics/biomechanics course are introduced using derivations with subsequentassignments using the results of these often non-intuitive mathematical procedures. However,few studies have looked at the use of hands-on activities to replace or supplement mathematicalderivations in an effort to connect physical concepts with mathematical equations. Therefore

white andcontinuing generation students. In an education system predicated upon white, U.S., continuinggeneration students’ cultural norms, this can place FGC and URM students at a disadvantage.For instance, studies have demonstrated that FGC students “are less likely to utilize or have moredifficulty in recognizing university support resources because they have little practice in doingso” ([15], p. 823). Similarly, FGC and URM FGC students are less likely to receive assistance orsupport from family in college and career planning [16], [17]. Thus, they often lack family-related social capital important for choosing engineering as a major/career, especially if theirfamily members are not engineers.
