University. Advising is important to student success, especially inthe early years given the transition to college and the difficulty of classes; it has been identifiedas particularly important for engineering students [8]. Advising indirectly affects retentionthrough satisfaction and grades [9]. Engineering students--whether they stay in the program orleave--have cited concerns about insufficient advising [3] and lack of services includingprograms for advising under-represented groups [8]. Given the concerns of engineering studentslisted previously, advising is inclusive of multiple activities including career counseling,assistance with homework, academic degree planning, and mentoring [9]. Students report thatacademic concerns are their greatest

Engineers in the four industries also recognize that their communication performance isintrinsically associated with their career advancement and success, as explained by one of theparticipant engineers: I've seen some engineers do it really, really well, they're good at it, and some are not. And those that are good at that communication are the ones that tend to advance more rapidly in their career progression. So I feel it's a very important principle that if

This review has yielded less than two dozenpublished papers on this topic, and, along with a synthesis of the responses from the programleaders' survey mentioned above, has revealed the need for additional research in this area.

The five-year project is currently in its third yearof implementation.A core focus of this involves accounting for and approaching an understanding of theexperiences of members of underrepresented groups in computer science and those affected bythe use of computer science products in society. Once this is accomplished, it then becomespossible to guide students in identifying sustainable processes for addressing the lack ofinclusion and social justice.A common approach to incorporating ethics in the Computer Science (CS) curriculum is torelegate it to a single course. Often these courses focus on professional

low spatial skills.Keywords: spatial reasoning, apps, augmented reality, engineering educationI Background Spatial visualization is the ability to mentally represent and manipulate two-dimensional(2D) and three-dimensional (3D) figures. Spatial skills are often used in STEM careers, such asthose in engineering and medicine, and have been positively correlated with increased grade pointaverages and retention in STEM-related fields, including math, engineering, computerprogramming, and science [1, 2]. Spatial visualization skills are learnable [1, 3, 4], but moststudents do not receive formal instruction in K-12 or at the university level. In addition, a particularlack of exposure to spatial visualization skills may explain why women
is taught inschool so students have very little idea of what it entails until they formally start studying it atuniversity. Students can enter a variety of chemical industries, such as food and drink,biotechnology and environmental engineering, although a historical survey of internationalchemical engineering students has also revealed an interest in financial services, especiallyamong male students studying in the UK [9]. As a discipline, chemical engineering seems tosuffer from having too large a scope in terms of a future career pathway as opposed to toonarrow a one.ConclusionsAs this paper is a work-in-progress, we are unable to put forward concrete conclusions at thisstage.

gender in the scientific careers in Chile, it is observed that thepercentage of women enrolled to study careers related to the sciences and technology is only23.7% [11], so it is important to analyze the experience of this subgroup.Concerning the admission process, the indicators that lead to admission in Chilean Universitiesare high-school grades and a Standardized University Admission test known as PSU (UniversitySelection Test). Because of disparities in test preparation between students from high- and low-income background the system has historically privileged the entry of upper-class students to theuniversity system [12], [13]. Consequently, the school of engineering has implemented analternative admission program to ensure the inclusion
