are generally mindful to consider the unique challenges faced by students fromunderrepresented groups and how students’ backgrounds and identities affect their academicexperiences. However, because the majority of our students are straight, white, cisgender males,advisors may be less aware of how their backgrounds and identities affect their academicexperiences. Although unintentional, treating white male engineering students as our “standard”students and students from underrepresented groups as our “special” students further normalizesthe white male standard in engineering education. This complex subject should be explored from a variety of perspectives. However, withthe goal of improving advising practices this GIFTS paper will focus
importance to determining where funding is needed is determining how it willget there. As mentioned before, engineering education research is a narrow issue that is not onthe mind of most legislators. Any attempt at gaining support for a single-issue bill would bemost likely be unsuccessful. Education research must be cast as part of the solution to a largerproblem, so a place can be found for it on an appropriate bill. The most typical vehicles for an engineering education funding would be as part of anNSF Authorization Act, such as the STEM Talent Expansion Program (STEP), or as anamendment to the Higher Education Act. However, success on either of these fronts is only halfthe battle; an appropriation must also be secured. It is
Page 14.449.3engineers are creative team players rather than relying on a prior negative stereotype of a loneengineer working on an abstract project with few discernable real-world applications. Related toavailability, using the representativeness heuristic involves judging both whether an exampleaccurately represents its group and whether the choice of example appears random [5]. Forexample, portraying engineers as intelligent, hard-working, and creative in several situations willmake that portrayal represent engineers in the minds of the viewers.Examples of Television Shows Featuring EngineersEngineers and engineering have been featured in some reality or narrative television shows.

What is interesting about the list is its variety. Perhaps one-third of the list would bethought of as the traditional purview of the engineer. The other entries represent the wide varietyof things of value to the college junior. The students might now have begun to think that it’s justpossible that thermodynamics is more widely applicable than they had realized. But they werealso somewhat skeptical. At this point, the class returned to consideration of what might bethought

demonstrated both the shortcomings ofgraduates in their ability to write and the demands of the workplace for improved performance.2However, what has been stated with insufficient clarity is what is the specific purpose of writing,and, therefore, how can one more effectively address this issue in a curriculum?We, like other programs, have both lofty and practical intents with our writing requirements.They are to enlarge and enrich the mind, to capture nuances as well as grand and complexconcepts and to convincingly demonstrate achievements. The challenge becomes one of havingstudents see writing as an integral part of their work as engineers, or their engineering practice

Many aspects of the new criteria required a new mind-set and were quitedifferent from the Traditional Criteria, which had significant elements of “bean counting.”EC2000 at its heart was to allow greater freedom in how an engineering program defined itselfvia its intent, its constituencies’ needs, and its curriculum [1][2][3]. But, along with freedom tochoose comes the need to properly understand the new criteria and its implications.One item of lingering confusion relates to the program educational objectives and programoutcomes. Even now significant difficulties appear to exist in understanding the meaning of
