that we present in this paper. First, Students of Color scored higher thanWhite Students on a combined index of survey items measuring the six forms of cultural capital.Second, we discuss how Students of Color, who are more likely to be First-Generation students,use their cultural assets in unique ways. We discuss the important implications of these findingsfor developing and implementing engineering instructional practices and curricula.IntroductionThe National Science Foundation’s (NSF’s) biennial report on the representation of women,minorities, and persons with disabilities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) education and employment highlights the continuing progress made in diversifying theengineering workforce

/Academic Variables Related to Engineering PersistenceThe importance of mathematical achievement and preparation to engineering persistence hasbeen well documented. Seymour and Hewitt [6] posited over two decades ago that if students areproficient in mathematics and science at an early age, then this proficiency encourages them tochoose science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) undergraduate majors alongwith employment in STEM fields such as engineering [1]. Veenstra and colleagues [7]highlighted key differences regarding factors that predict retention and academic successbetween engineering majors and other majors. They found that high school academicachievement in mathematics and sciences are weighted heavily for engineering majors
found positive associations between internships and career-relevant variables. Theoretical and empirical studies indicated that internships have positive effects on engineering education. Engineering and technology students learn to gain much experience from different approaches [12]. Our findings show that internships also have a crucial effect on subsequent academic outcomes. These effects influence prior academic achievement, and they hold for both the advantaged and disadvantaged [13]. The analysis from a national dataset of 2004 seniors suggests that students who spent more time in a cooperative education program are better at ensuring that a process or product meets a variety of

This behooves engineering programs at universities acrossthe world to adapt their curricula to prepare the graduates for the challenges in the engineeringindustry. The engineering curriculum which adopts integrated projects on a centralizedengineering project platform [1] enables the student to become an active, intentional, and goal-oriented learner through problem-solving [2]-[3] in a project-based [4]-[6] and project-enhancedlearning [7] environment. Traditionally, core lecture and laboratory courses have been taught inrelative isolation of each other. This approach does not effectively
100ConclusionsThe Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) has amended their GeneralCriteria to now include DEI principles with the aim of ensuring students have the “ability tofunction effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborativeand inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks and meet objectives. Further, the facultycriteria now states that “program faculty must demonstrate awareness and abilities appropriate toproviding an equitable and inclusive environment for its students and knowledge of appropriateinstitutional policies on diversity, equity and inclusion [25].

. This major would have students take an Introduction to Engineering Design class,Statics, Materials, complete an external project, and do a one-semester capstone. Thisengineering curriculum would be supported by math, physics and chemistry courses, includingelectronics and thermodynamics through the physics department. The initial engineering sciencedegree was not meant to be an ABET-accredited degree but a pathway for students interested inengineering to gain engineering training while integrating other interests such as business,environmental science, and data science. This degree was intended to provide strong preparationfor careers in areas such as entrepreneurship, project management, architecture/design,government technology policy

Were engineering educatorsto better recognize the importance of these relationships and contribute to creating such acommunity, they could help to ensure engineering students were able to thrive academically andemotionally.C. Absence of Harassment and Expression without FearIn the United States, harassment is a growing problem in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) fields [14]. Harassment can be verbal, physical, or sexual and include anyunwelcome or unfavorable behavior due to one’s identity (e.g., gender, race, age, religion).Harassment has adverse impacts on career outcomes
