ethics enforcement, it was reported that nearly80% of engineering students were not required to take any type of ethics-related course [4]. Toovercome this issue in the academic and work environments, the Engineering AccreditationCommission/Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (EAC/ABET) sought toprepare students in the classroom prior to the start of their engineering careers and has requiredaccredited engineering programs to demonstrate student learning in ethics since 2000. It has beendemonstrated that engineering ethics education plays a significant role in the formation andreshaping of the engineer’s ethics, and early training can allow students to develop ethicaldecision-making skills to identify ethical issues and conflicts

Ongoing issues include attrition,particularly during the first year of undergraduate studies [8], and sociocultural climate andnegative stereotypes, including implicit bias [7, 9]. This can ultimately lead to a “leakypipeline,” or some women leaving the field to an alternate career pathway [10

autoethnographies on female faculty in academia are limited [2, 11]. This researchgathered autoethnographic stories from three female faculty members in engineering, the authorsof this paper, who had also experienced gender bias in their teaching. This was then organizedinto a ”collective autoethnography”. The analysis and writing-up of the project were alsocompleted by the authors. According to Ellis’s autoethnographic principles [8], stories are centralto this paper. The literature presented and the emotions evoked after the stories are told is all doneto change the understanding of what it means to be a female instructor in the engineeringclassroom.The three authors of this paper are early-career faculty in small teaching-focused institutions.Two of the
response to identification of these systemic issues, in 2001 the National Science Foundationlaunched Institutional Transformation grants as a new initiative in the ADVANCE program.Research planning grants and career advancement grants supporting individual women werephased out, and greater emphasis was placed on systemic change within academic institutions[33]. From a review of 37 ADVANCE institutional transformation initiatives from 2001 to 2008,Morimoto and coauthors argued that creating equity in gendered organizations must go wellbeyond articulating policy, beyond attending to the needs of individuals, and beyond workingtoward balanced gender composition among the ranks of faculty, all of which they characterizedas surface-level work [5].

to succeed in a specific domain likeengineering [25]. Students who have reduced self-efficacy or do not exude confidence to otherscan also find themselves with more limited opportunities to productively work with others,which leads to a snowball effect and reduces confidence even further over the course of theundergraduate career. Low self-efficacy has been positively and significantly correlated to pooracademic performance and low persistence in a wide range of subjects and disciplines [26].Consistent feelings of being discouraged in a course are not simply about being in a bad mood,but instead are a handicap that, if not addressed, can carry over into other courses and into thestudent’s early career.

225,500 graduate STEM degrees were awarded in the U.S.; 181,000 being masterdegrees and 44,500 were doctoral degrees [1], [2], [3] . According to the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) [4], URM graduate students only earned about 9% of the overall doctoraldegrees awarded in 2015 and about 13% of undergraduate degrees. This evidence suggests thatSTEM doctoral programs in the U.S. are severely deficient in representation from students ofdifferent racial and ethnic groups. This is a disturbing historical and contemporary trend thatuniversities should pay close attention because of the implications on America’s ability tocompete on a global level with nation states succeeding at preparing individuals for careers inSTEM fields.The participation of URM

perceived needs from their future degree programs and careers. The variability of studentperceived needs itself leads to difficulty for instructors seeking to motivate and engage allstudents working toward learning objectives of the course, but it is further complicated by theprior knowledge of students. As varied as their expectations are, their levels of experiencerelating to the various learning outcomes of the course are equally diverse. Some students havecollege-level credit in programming, experience with robotics summer camps, or extensivebuilding/construction experience, while many other students had no opportunity to participate inthese kinds of activities.
