theirorganizations, Ibarra 12 used the term “provisional selves” to talk about the experimental phasesof identity formation as one adjusts to new expectations and sometimes even new organizationalcultures. He witnessed several forms of experimentation that advancing professionals use,including imitation, efforts to remain true to one’s self and ideals, and use of internal andexternal feedback mechanisms to evaluate their developing “provisional selves.” Ibarra definedthese strategies as “the degree of congruence between what one feels and what onecommunicate[s] in public behavior about one’s character or competence”12 (p.778). With itsfocus on personal-professional identity alignment, this autoethnography employs the secondform of experimentation, “true-to
what type of intervention(s) you would recommend.Our preliminary findings indicate a strong grounding in collaboration for all teams andindividuals; strong evidence of empathy among some (but not all) teams and individuals; andvarying degrees of learning that integrates the humanities and engineering. We summarize ourfindings below.Collaboration: All teams and individuals appeared to be engaged. Individuals seemed to haveroughly equal contributions in terms of time on task and specific contributions. All teamsdemonstrated appropriate teamwork. People listened to each other, responded to each otherappropriately, and seemed to value others’ contributions. There was little or no domination byany single person or pair of persons, no

fromthose that were based on leadership as a process [13]. The former is based on traditional notionsof a leader as an individual with power and authority based on their position within anorganization or society. It was exactly this notion of leadership that was associated with theresistance encountered in our earlier studies. The latter, leadership as a process, has beenarticulated by many scholars, but we chose to use Northouse’s simple definition of leadership as“a process whereby an individual influences a group of individuals to achieve a common goal”(p.3) [13]. We also use Rottmann et al.’s orientations to engineering leadership: Technicalmastery - “shar[ing] their technical problem solving skills with others through informalmentorship” (p. 7

The author ismore convinced now than ever, that classroom reformation, including deployment of activelearning strategies, would happen only if the institution mandates it!The Pros and Cons of the Lecture FormatWhen asked why he/she lectures, one faculty responded: “It is a tradition. It was part of mytraining, and seems to dwell in me and seems like what I should be doing. I feel guilty when Iam not lecturing” (13). This candid statement suggests one of the great dilemmas faced by allwho teach at the postsecondary

ProgramThe Citadel’s Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering was awarded an NSF S-STEM award with the goal of graduating 23 students with diverse backgrounds with a degree inCivil Engineering. So far 30 EXCEL-SC scholarships have been awarded totaling $436,000. Inaddition, approximately $30,000 in stipends have been awarded to 20 EXCEL-SC students forenrollment in The Citadel’s College Success Institute (summer school program prior to freshmanyear to acclimate students to military college life while taking up to four academic credits).The program has many elements that contribute to student success and engagement. Forexample, The Citadel’s Academic Support Center, through funding from a Foundation Grant,provided a graduate student to serve
showing that it is indeed possible to create a positive culture that increases diversity…. The college president, Marie Klawe, is a woman computer scientist who knows how to make the environment more hospitable.”5One barrier that Harvey Mudd College works hard to demolish is the ‘impostor’ syndrome - “Not seeing one's own reflection in teachers or other students makes one feel as if s[he] doesn't belong. The need for role models to help overcome the ‘impostor’ syndrome cannot be emphasized enough.”5Ramirez concludes with, “One approach to address the leaks [in the STEM pipeline] is morementoring, and by tuning the culture so that students don't feel excluded”. This is essential to thebroader discussion of diversity
