According to current research in engineering education, studies show how narrowconceptualizations of the engineering “pipeline” overgeneralize the experiences ofwomen into a single shared experience, ignoring the intersectionality of today’sfemale students [1].2. Once in college, women are faced with lack of mentoring and social support,leading to attrition [2]. 4 How we started • Ground-up student-lead activities • Students set the tone of what would be happening • Faculty supported them • Mostly large

Changing task boundaries is a job crafting technique where employees alter eitherthe type of task or the number of tasks at work. Employees alter their perspectives, thoughts, orbeliefs about their job when they change the cognitive task boundaries of their job. Further,employees change the relational boundaries of their jobs when they alter the nature of theirrelationships with others in a helpful way.

This scenario comes from the movie Back to the Future II [2] starringMichael J. Fox as Marty McFly.
