: a generalprofessional category and a scientific professional category. The former would focus on morepractical applications to meet the needs of industry and the latter would be centered on mathand science geared towards careers in design, research, and development. The engineeringfaculty who reviewed the preliminary report rejected this proposal, and the consensus was thatall engineering curricula should incorporate strengthened basic science content. Despite therejection of this proposed bifurcation by the engineering community, many universities beganexpanding their existing two-year technology programs into four year engineering technologydegree programs in the mid-1950’s in response to a need for more practically trained graduateswho

initially developed by and associates to explain workplace dynamics [13], [15],[16], [19], [40], [41] and additional research that has demonstrated the utility of this conceptwith respect to postsecondary institutions. We know comparatively little about whichspecific characteristics of postsecondary institutions are associated with women’srepresentation in STEM fields overall (but see [13], [26]), never mind specific STEM fields,such as CS&E. Our approach is also informed by Fox et al.’s [13] recent work, whichsuggests that gendered organizational dynamics and initiatives play out vividly at the sub-unitlevel (college/department/program), depending on the centrality and status of a particular unitwithin the academic institution.

Thisemphasizes the importance of the creative side of the engineering mind and may encourage non-engineering students to weave into the engineering curriculum and eventually pursue anengineering degree.References[1] D.

Introduction Three-dimensional (3D) printing or additive manufacturing is utilized to manufacture products in industries of aerospace, automotive, and medical [1]. One example is General Electric (GE)’s decision to deploy 3D printers to manufacture nozzles for its LEAP engines. GE Aviation projects have printed more than 30,000 fuel nozzle tips in 2018 [2].

incapable of learning or discerningfact from fiction without the assistance of an intellectually superior individual to teach them ordumb-down the material through parables or simplified rules. Patrick Quin describes Aquinas’Super de Trin.2.4 “that theological truth is best transmitted to the faithful in parabolic form… itmight, he thinks, confuse the uneducated who would misunderstand it and be ridiculed byunbelievers who detest it anyway” [10]. Aquinas states: “…it is said in Luke 8:10, ‘To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to the rest in parables.’ Therefore one ought by obscurity in speech conceal the sacred truths from the multitude” (Pars 1 q. 2 a. 4 s. c. 3). “…the words of a teacher ought
].One of the conclusions from Deardorff (2006)’s study is that intercultural scholars and highereducation administrators did not define intercultural competence in relation to specificcomponents. Instead, both groups preferred definitions that were broader in nature [15].However, there was an 80% agreement on these skills. Using the items on which 80% or more ofboth the intercultural scholars and administrators agreed, Deardorff (2006) organized these itemsinto two visual ways of defining intercultural competence that could be used as a framework byadministrators and others in their work in developing and accessing intercultural competence[15].

departments, suggests that engineering culture can shift if programs, schools, anddepartments actually enact the university’s espoused DEI values.Contrasting with the primarily descriptive approach taken by researchers cited above, Bates and hercolleagues invoke Schein’s model of culture in a more agentic manner. Their paper documents thedevelopment of two new project-based engineering programs seeking accreditation.18 Their intention to“build a more inclusive culture for tomorrow’s engineers” differs from Godfrey and Parker’s use ofculture as a vehicle for ethnographic insight about an existing institutional context.18 Bates et al.’s callfor change urges us to view engineering culture as malleable. Along the same vein, Tonso,19 Riley,20Kim et al,21

We followed that lead inreceiving and studiously responding to the nuances of markers that participants in our researchstudy shared with us, as they assessed our trustworthiness. With our focus on stewardship, werespectfully received the stories they chose to share with us, recognizing that they contributedvaluable knowledge with each story they shared.Use of markers in qualitative analysisRobert S. Weiss defined a marker, in the context of qualitative interview studies, as “a passingreference made by a respondent to an important event or feeling state.” [2] In an example, hestated that
Continuous ImprovementContinuous improvement should be a part of every program and course and having the benefit ofdesigning the program with a clean sheet gave us the opportunity to integrate continuousimprovement from the start, beginning with our courses. To assist, we created a slide format tosummarize what we learned and that we also use to discuss our new insights with our DataScience Advisory Council. For example, Figure 1, below, is an example for the course forstudents not ready for Calculus I. Our faculty completes them every year for their course, andwe use the feedback to improve the course and the student experience.
