knowledge indicating that engineering, let alone careers in STEM in general, canbe for them. This may be due to the lack of role models and networking opportunities in STEMcareers and even belief from parents and teachers that students with disabilities cannot besuccessful in STEM (Hawley, Cardoso & McMahon, 2013; Martin, Stumbo, & Collins, 2011).As such, students with disabilities are less likely to enroll and be successful in STEM courses inhigh school (Hawley et al., 2013; Martin et al., 2011). Lack of exposure to STEM careers andcourses may ultimately lead to a lack of interest. Additionally, this may contribute to limitedskill development, not due to lack of aptitude, rather due to lack of exposure and opportunities.As previously

We conducted statistical analysis(ANOVA, regression analysis) and text analysis of the quantitative and qualitative data. Findingsfrom both data sources showed that women and people of color experienced more implicit bias atwork than white men.Regression analyses showed that, after controlling for age, education, workplace seniority, andacademic status, women still reported more Prove-It-Again, Tightrope, and Maternal Wall bias,and Asian and African-American engineers reported more Prove-It-Again and Tightrope bias,than their

to improve learning outcomes. A large body of research oncollaborative learning points to the benefits of students’ learning from one another (Lave andWenger, 1991; Mentkowski & Associates, 2000; Seymour and Hewitt, 1997; Prince and Felder,2006). Prince (2004), in his review of literature on active learning, found that team-basedapproaches to learning can increase students’ skills, positive attitudes, and retention.How, then, can we make student teams more equitable, over-coming well-documented trendswhere women have fewer opportunities than men to gain and demonstrate technical competence?How can we persuade women to persist on teams—and in their engineering career paths morebroadly—despite interpersonal interactions that may make them

microaggressions. While the term “microagression” is somewhat a misnomer in thatthe consequences of these aggressions are far from small in terms of detriment to career andwell-being, they are made to seem small in the sense that their affects are often invalidated bythose who do not recognize their harmful nature [19]. However, the language of Canon 8explicitly states that these types of experiences must be dealt with as a matter of civil engineeringpractice, and as a result, it creates a space for issues that otherwise would not have beenaddressed.ASCE ReactionFollowing the passage of Canon 8, people gave feedback in on different channels ofcommunication.

conventionally feminine appearances are perceived as lesslikely to be competent or suited for STEM careers due to the male gendering of STEM [23].This, in some respects, imposes a perception of gender non-conformity for many women whootherwise would not identify as gender non-conforming within engineering. In the face of thesegender dynamics there are professional organizations, student clubs, summer camps, andwomen-specific spaces which are avenues for forming support structures and mentorship forwomen in engineering. As mentioned prior, this has been critiqued as further entrenching thenotion that we live within a binary gender system in which women have an inherent ‘lack’ whichneeds to be assisted [6].

Olson and Lalley statethat “a faculty led, highly structured, two to three week study abroad experience for students intheir early year of their college careers could greatly benefit these students by opening their eyesto a wide berth of opportunities such as internships abroad, studying a second language, longerinternational experiences in their later years, and a reduction of travel anxiety”.4For all the reasons listed above, in 2014 MCC’s engineering faculty began looking into thepossibility of putting together an international travel course.

Applying McDermott’s framework, we can see new dimensions to many commonapproaches in studying the problem of struggling students in STEM. In quintessential retentionresearch, the powers that be define the terms of success and failure (e.g., persisting in a certainmajor, institution, or career, achieving a certain GPA, stating a sense of disciplinary identity andefficacy), and find the aspects of students which contribute most to success or failure (e.g.,gender, race
