interesting research study might be developing a hackathon like course as a realuniversity class. This class could help the engineering education community better understandthe effect on learning that hackathons have. Other studies could generate hackathons withspecific learning goals in mind and try to steer students into a curriculum while still maintainingthe typical structure of a hackathon. This event would help show the worth of hackathons as aneducational tool.Another point of view for future works could be project management. The types of time andresource managements that participants exhibit within classroom and hackathon settings may bedrastically different.

CCW uses familial, linguistic, aspirational, resistant, navigational, and social capital to describe students’ strengths in and out of the classroom. These capitals appear in multiple settings and from many different sources. They also can be depicted simultaneously as a single capital cannot describe some strengths. For example, a role model for a student may provide both aspirational and navigational capitals simultaneously as they aid a student through the college experience.

classrooms which are focused on student team dynamics are well documented [3], [9][10], [11]. However, it is critical to provide guidance on the value and importance of leveragingthe benefits of diverse teams [12]. When the benefits of diverse teams are not pointedlyaddressed, the effectiveness of a diverse team can be diminished. One prime example of this isinequitable distribution of work and tasks due to gender bias [9], [10], [12],Similar to [12], this work focuses on the integration of activities designed to help students see thevalue and importance of diverse perspectives in engineering design.

Enculturation is the process by which an individual learnsthe traditional content of a culture and assimilates its practices and values (Richard et al., 2016).In the study, we began by being mindful of the culture, norms and behaviors of the universityand engineering department. From the initial study, we arrived at enculturation factors that havecontinued to serve as the framework for our research.

To work towardgender parity, Diekman et al. suggest “interventions… [to] demonstrate how STEM fieldsinvolve “helping” and collaborating with other people” as a way to increase the involvement ofwomen and communal-minded people in STEM more generally4. One potential strategy may befor engineering programs to highlight that many disciplines within engineering have the potentialto meet communal goals, moving beyond those already seen to be female-dominated. Thissignalling would be possible to implement through public-facing documents such as programpromotional materials that already tend to frame engineering in particular ways through languagechoices18.An important
