Prior studies call formore research around increasing team members’ “role repertoires” or the number of different rolesan individual can take on based on what is needed by the team as a potential benefit to teamperformance [9].The connection between increasing diversity in STEM fields, student retention, and students’ability to practice different team roles during their undergraduate careers is worth investigating.According to the University of Colorado Boulder, since 2010 the number of female students inundergraduate engineering degrees has risen while their retention and graduation

and solidify the professional identity of technical communication faculty wasarguably the primary motivation for establishing departments of and graduate programs intechnical communication, which have tended to gravitate away from a focus on engineers. So,from a professional identity perspective, technical communication and engineeringcommunication are not interchangeable terms.One distinctive aspect of engineering communication, as mentioned above, is that the group offaculty engaged in engineering communication includes many people whose primary expertise isnot in communication or writing studies. One manifestation of these circumstances is thediffusion of interest in communication throughout ASEE. While the majority of papers

The survey and interview protocol were alsodeveloped during 2021 and pilot data was collected from students during Spring 2022. We planto begin collecting data in the Fall 2022 semester and to collect quantitative and qualitative datafor at least three semesters (Fall 2022, Spring 2023, Fall 2023). We anticipate enrollingapproximately 10 participants each semester for a total of 30 students.References: 1.

This, of course, assumes that those with the highest grades intraditional subjects including mathematics will make the best engineers, and restricts accessto the engineering. The use of grades for admission purposes can also mean that studentsbegin to associate their worth or value with their academic success.This process continues throughout their time within HE where the function of grading is toindicate the worth of graduates to potential employers; many engineering firms within theUK specify that graduates must obtain a 2:1 (60-70% grade average) to be eligible
