At its best, automatedranking could potentially enrich qualitative coding through suggesting subtle underlyingconnections to concepts, as well as enable combing through larger amounts of data. In this case, the assessed data consisted of 35 interview transcripts (totalling in 367pages) of early career engineers describing their experiences at their workplace.

socioeconomic differences mean thatmany students that enter STEM fields may begin their careers at a disadvantage. It could also bea source of discouragement for these students, leading to a lack of diversity in engineering andother STEM fields. While this is an alarming problem, past data has shown that doing exercisesand activities that require using visual spatial skills can develop and enhance these skills. [19]The most effective tools and methods for promoting visual spatial retention and measuring theimprovements have been a topic of concern. Martin-Dorta et al.

technicians, not thinkers. If engineers do engage critically inthinking about the broader context of engineering, it is late in their careers once their technicalexpertise and professional engineering identity has been secured. Such late-career faculty havetime to begin work on what is, functionally, a second specialization, but neglect to see it as such.And given this neglect, philosophers may tend to see the perspectives of these engineer-philosophers as Socrates viewed his interlocuters: as naïve though importantly informed byexperience. Thus, philosophers are a necessary condition for ethical engineering, since theirprimary specialization is in critical conceptual analysis and problem-identification, if not inethics specifically.

That nonprofit, Techbridge, seeks particularly to serve girls of color andgirls in lower-income neighborhoods with a goal of inspiring girls to discover their passion forscience, engineering, and technology (SET). The major goal of Techbridge is to help girls seeSET careers as a possibility for their own futures because the girls know they have the ability tosucceed in those fields. To accomplish this, Techbridge helps girls learn some technical skills inSET fields, gauge their interest in a variety of areas, and have up-close experiences interactingwith SET professionals in their workplaces. In Techbridge’s afterschool programs, girls fromgrades 4 through 12 learn technical skills in science, engineering, and technology
