Groen, Virginia Tech Dr. Cassandra Groen is a post-doctoral researcher in the Department of Engineering Education and the Myers-Lawson School of Construction at Virginia Tech. Her primary research interests include pro- fessional identity formation in undergraduate civil engineering students, grounded theory methods, and theory development. Her current work includes the exploration of professional identity formation in civil engineering students who experience disabilities and the ways in which this identity is influenced by stu- dents’ academic relationships, events, and experiences. Dr. Groen holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in Civil Engineering from the South Dakota School of Mines

Though theclasses were taught in different manners, they were identical in terms of assignments, quizzes,and exams. The classes shared a common Gradescope online grade database, in whichhomework sets, quizzes, and exams were uploaded and graded using a common set of metrics.Homework sets and quizzes were graded by student graders, whereas the exams were graded byinstructors. Each homework, quiz, or exam problem was graded by the same person across allclass sections, e.g. the first midterm exam was graded by only two instructors, who each gradedone of the two exam questions

These are stilllargely classroom based, incorporating lectures, guest speakers, case studies, and groupdiscussion [31,32]. The curricular programs expose students to a wide range of subjects anentrepreneur may need, mainly focused around business education, so they may develop as abusiness generalist [1,33,34]. Many other places outside of business schools are offeringentrepreneurship education, most prevalently in the engineering schools [1].Educating the entrepreneur to be a generalist probably comes from the notion that entrepreneursneed to be able to cut across several disciplines to mobilize resources toward an end goal [6]. Italso may be based off of models

underrepresented groups, is paramount to meet the needs of the currentand future generations1. Though the United States is in a demographic shift with an increasingpopulation of ethnic minorities, they remain heavily underrepresented in the science andengineering fields2. In order to decrease this gap within the growing population, the countrywould need to increase the number of underrepresented students pursuing engineering by three-fold1. Researchers suggest that one way to meet this demand and increase the pipeline of womenand minorities is to focus on K-12 Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM)preparatory programs2. In fact, Arizona, the setting for this research study, has a large Latinxpopulation (30%) and offers an opportunity to

In this study,we are comparing how engineering students from Ecuador and the United States characterizetheir culture orientation based on Hofstede´s cultural dimensions theory.

STEM fields individually, relying onperformance-competency as an indicator for identity along with recognition and interest. Theirresearch acknowledged that recognition and interest can be difficult to define depending on astudent’s understanding of what is involved in STEM fields and students are not yet in careerpositions for professional recognition. As a result, performance-competency can capture bothability and perception of efficacy, and it is a predictor for better performance [11]. Additionally,greater STEM self-efficacy has been shown to predict improved STEM performance [1]. While some studies have separated engineering from other STEM fields for more specificunderstanding of the profession [45], [46], this paper also
