Inclusion is defined as “involvement and empowerment, where the inherent worth anddignity of all people are recognized.” Equity is defined as “the state, quality, or ideal of being just,impartial, and fair” [1].Educational leaders must embody the mission and vision of their institution to frame diversityissues in the campus community.

Othernegative experiences included feeling they did not understand the purpose of assignments on thecourse learning management system and other team members were not contributing. At thebeginning of the semester, assignments focused on ethics, teaming, how to do a literature reviewand document research, and other preliminary topics. Students wanted to dive right into theresearch rather than completing training and pre-research activities. Additionally, journalassignments requested that students reflect on their experiences weekly. Engineering students arenot accustomed to

-9]. In additionto individual aptitude and work ethics, researchers have identified other individual psychologicalconstructs that play an influential role in retention rates among engineers [e.g., 10]. One of thepsychological constructs that have been identified as a key factor in student persistence inengineering is motivation.Researchers have identified several types of motivational factors (e.g., sense of belonging)initiated via the expectancy-value theory of motivation [11-13]. In its simplest form, the theorypostulates that decisions to continue in activities, such as earning an engineering degree, areformed by beliefs in competency and value. Competency beliefs are defined as individualexpectations of success, and encompass one’s

However, the sample Social Responsibility rate remains highdespite the decrease. It is plausible that working for the Women in Engineering Program providesexperiences that become pillars to sustain student workers’ Social Responsibility.

Each lab introduces a set of related topics thatbuild upon the material from previous labs. The labs used to be two weeks in length, allowing forflexibility in fitting with the students’ personal schedules, but we discovered that the flexibilityactually motivated procrastination. Instead, to encourage a strong work ethic, we shifted to aweekly schedule. The labs are gamified so that the next lab will not unlock unless a studentcompletes the prior lab first. This incentivizes them to get something working, even if theirsolution is not
