According to Generation Z researchers Seemiller & Grace,among the top issues on the minds of Generation Z students are “education, employment, andracial equality” [6]. Not surprisingly, today’s prospective students are most likely to citepreparation for a job as the number one reason they are considering a college education[3].Coming of age during the economic recession of 2008, Generation Z is pragmatic and seeksvalue in a degree that they see as critical to landing a job down the road. A real concern for thesestudents is the ability to afford a college degree, which is not surprising given

Two facilitatorsfurther commented that the experience helped them to feel less alone or recognize that anydifficulties they may have experienced were similar to those of others: “I was able to see that myexperience in the college of engineering was not necessarily unique; others felt as though theydidn’t fit in and I wasn’t alone in that.

of our population. The stakes can be high: when engineers do notdesign with both genders in mind, preventable fatalities result. The first airbags, designed by anall-male team, killed women when the designers did not take into account women’s smaller sizesand different body structures (Massey). For decades, doctors who did not realize that women andmen exhibit different heart attack symptoms would misdiagnose women and send them home(Del Giudice).What does it take to achieve the elusive fifty-fifty gender balance in engineering? Like the set ofstudies that come before this one, this study aims to bridge the gap between women’s and men’sexperiences in engineering.

Lastly, we note that the student groupswe examined in this study are certainly not the only groups of interest regarding sorting ofstudent characteristics; various extra-curricular student clubs and project teams (including thoseexplicitly within engineering) may also experience systemic student sorting. We were unable toreliably measure student participation in such groups within the practical limits of our study, butfollow-on research to examine these other groups would benefit the community of EL educators.ConclusionsThe heterogeneity of the engineering student population implies an onus for EL educators toconsider the student composition in EL course cohorts – and to be mindful of the effects ofcohort composition upon the learning
