The often-obscured implications of career paths on professionaloutcomes, and in particular the ways in which race and gender can be associated with career pathstreaming, serve as the rationale for our current study. Our guiding research question is simple:How do race and gender intersectionally influence the career path trajectory, and by extensionthe sense of professional belonging and identity, of engineering graduates in Canada?Ample research has documented workplace marginalization, exclusion, discrimination, andmisogyny experienced by women in engineering [1], [2], [3].

Research on implementation factors also adds to the fields inunderstanding how and why teachers in various settings and with various backgrounds makeadaptations as they implement curricula [1]. In their discussion of the importance of flexibilityand fit of interventions, Harn, Parisi, and Stoolmiller [12] argue that "one of the best ways tomatch contextual and intervention characteristics to optimize implementation with fidelity overtime may be to adapt evidence-based practices to better match school-level context."

theindividual layers takes a lot of time, material, and precision. However, the labor and maintenanceinvolved is minimal, making 3D printing a great cost effective option for manufacturing designmockups and other plastic parts [1-2]. 3D printing creates less waste because material is beingadded to manufacture the part instead of removed. In addition to increasing efficiency, manufacturing engineers must consider how toreduce manufacturing cost. Some ways to achieve this is by reducing the amount of materialneeded or by reducing the amount of labor time per part. Using an infill pattern instead ofprinting a solid part addresses both of these methods. The layers cover less area and thereforetakes up less time and material to complete each layer of

However, there is a pressing need to attractunderrepresented minority and first-generation college students to STEM disciplines, as currentrepresentation from these groups remains low [1]. An obstacle to the production of STEMgraduates in the United States is the challenge to develop students' interest in math and science[2]. In many K–12 systems, there is a disconnect between math, science, and other disciplines, tothe real world and students often fail to recognize the links between their studies and potentialSTEM careers [2].One way to foster students' interest in math and science is to use informal learning to connectthese subjects to real-world contexts and careers [2].
