engineering identity as a sense of belonging, found thatgender and other social variables affect students’ power and status, which in turn affects theiridentification with engineering. Meyers and colleagues [25] found that students’ self-identification as engineers was linked to a sense of belonging to the engineering college, as wellas organizational recognition. In a survey study conducted in the Netherlands, Meeuwisse andcolleagues [26] found that quality faculty and peer interactions positively impacted students’sense of belonging.Previous research highlights the importance of both a sense of belonging and self-identificationas engineers for persistence in the major [22], [24]-[25], [27]-[31].

The practical differences between engineers and technologistsin industry often remain somewhat ambiguous, and the debate about the differences andsimilarities between their academic preparation and career paths is ongoing [4-7].Students graduating high school having taken trigonometry and preferable pre-calculus are betterprepared for engineering than those who have only taken algebra and geometry [8].

engineering, itsintroductory fundamental courses such as mechanics of materials, dynamics, and introduction tocircuit are easy targets of the practice of “herding” students into large classes. This practice canpose quite a difficult adjustment for freshman and sophomore college students. Cooper and Robinson14 artfully expressed the potentially dangerous consequence ofsubjecting freshman and sophomore college students to large lecture classes: A growing body of research points to the value of undergraduate learning environments that set high expectations, promote active and interactive learning, and give students personal validation and frequent feedback on their work. These settings and practices are especially

Before thecamp activities started, students completed a pre-camp survey to determine their perceptions ofand interest in STEM. The same survey was given to students at the end of the engineering campto determine the impact the camp experience had on improving students’ perceptions and interestin STEM.The first day of the engineering camp included activities to pique the students’ interest in usingSTEM activities to better manage water resources.

,institution-specific requirements can have a dominating impact on the depth/breadth balance andhow they are attained. As a primary example, many large engineering schools were forced tomake challenging, required curricular alterations when state legislatures required a reduction ofhours while maintaining ABET engineering hours for accreditation. These changes necessitatedreduction of the requirements for fundamental science and traditional engineering courses fromother departments to make room for courses with heavy design content, societal context, andintegrated communication skills.Due to these changes, the curriculum has become increasingly rigid, which limits students’opportunities to deeply explore technical content. To ensure depth, many
