Moreover, these data do not give a sense of how many suchgraduates may have been eyeing different (engineering and non-engineering) possibilitiesfrom the get-go.Sheppard et al.’s work on career decision-making among prospective engineeringgraduates suggests that in fact the majority of students are unsure and/or consideringoptions that span engineering and non-engineering work on the “eve” of graduation.4,5About one-third of students were exclusively focused on engineering options, and a muchsmaller fraction of students were exclusively focused on non-engineering work and/orgraduate study options.

The frequencies with which each theme wasmentioned/represented were also counted and tabulated.The first theme is ‘Customer Involvement’. As “the end goal [of engineering design] is the creationof an artifact, product, system, or process that performs a function or functions to fulfill customerneed(s).” [27], it is very important to involve the customer throughout the process from needsanalysis to gaining feedback to ensure that the design solution fulfills customer need(s) and meetsor exceeds customer expectations.

In this course, theinstructor split the class randomly into teams of four, provided each team with two problemsrelated to the week's topic, then had students work in pairs to solve the problems. When a teambelieved they solved both problems correctly, one representative wrote the team name on thewhiteboard and the instructor checked their answers. If one or both answers are wrong, the teamwas given a three-minute timeout in which they could continue to work on the incorrectproblem(s) but could not write their team name on the board

In a technologically advanced society, the status and power of those inscience makes them the new elite” [29, p. 113]. Therefore, it is imperative that science andengineering disciplines are equally accessible to all, regardless of race or gender. The politicalnature of social justice arguments makes them uncommon in a discipline that prefers to maintainits objectivity [30]. However, the “equality case” for diversity is the only argument that takesinto account pre-existing power structures that reproduce racial and gender inequalities

learning [2-6]. Failure to createan inclusive environment for minority students affects both minority and majority students, andthere is compelling evidence that diversity among students and faculty is crucially important tothe intellectual and social development of all students [7-9]. The benefits of diversity extendwell beyond the university years: research suggests that improving diversity in a workforce canhave positive effects on innovation and productivity [10]. Given the need to increase our STEMworkforce to remain competitive in a global economy, efforts must be made to attract and retaintalented individuals to STEM disciplines and professions. To this end, increasing diversity inScience and Engineering (S&E) has become a national
