, Engineering, and Medicine echo Guilford et al.’s claim in their 2017report, stating that “there is a paucity of evidence on the possible relationships between intra- andinterpersonal competencies and the success of students intending to major in science, technology,engineering, and mathematics fields” (p. 72). Overall, the largely underexplored studies onthriving competencies for engineering education populations conceal the relationships betweencompetencies that support engineering students to thrive.Consistent with the underexplored nature of thriving in undergraduate engineering studentpopulations, uniting previously disparate lines of research would offer insights into the bigpicture of engineering thriving. For example, we know that students who

, which are two engineering-specific social engagement variables. Amelink andCreamer’s30 multi-institutional research with female engineering students also demonstrated thattwo survey items associated with peer-oriented social engagement (“getting along with otherstudents in the engineering major” and “feeling as though they are treated with respect by malestudents” in their program) were significantly correlated with their intent to pursue anengineering-related career. Espinosa’s study31 reported that some categories of socialengagement are positively related to the persistence of female students as a whole while othersonly have a meaningful association with women of color. Brown et al.’s study32 conducted withAfrican-American engineering

On the survey instrument, participants self-reported their “sex” (female and male), whichiidenotes biological and physical differences between the two groups. However, we refer to“gender” (women and men) in our discussion of results, as we propose that the characteristics Page 24.295.5measured in this study are more related to the social roles of the two groups 9 Scutt, H.

Page 25.70.3Schwartz’s model describes the cognitive development towards engaging in altruistic behaviorthrough five unique phases11, 12. The first phase is the Attention Phase and describes theindividual’s recognition of needs, perceptions about potential action and recognition of one’sown ability to engage in these actions. The Motivation Phase categorizes the activation of theindividual’s value system through feelings of moral obligation to act or not act. The activationof moral obligations could come from internal personal norms

The currents may be either currents througha specific branch that is not an independent current source (termed branch currents), or rarely,currents through specific wires that are internal to a node (and are therefore dependent on aspecific layout), which we term non-branch currents. The power(s) may be that either absorbed Page 25.242.12or supplied by an independent or dependent source or by a passive element. These

methodology to tell thestory of the multitudinous factors in Chavonne Garza’s life that shaped her journey to and withinengineering. This methodology illuminated ways that many institutions, including academia,were designed and continue to operate without her well-being in mind.Researchers have investigated epistemological and ontological ways that marginalized peoplesengage with STEM. Wilson-Lopez et al.’s investigation of funds of knowledge in Latinxadolescent approaches to engineering demonstrated ways that “participants’ everyday skills andbodies of knowledge aligned with engineering practices” [16, p. 278]. Verdín, Smith, and Lucena[17] engaged the funds of knowledge framework to demonstrate ways that first-generationengineering college students
. To circumvent this, educators oftenrequire at least three unique design concepts. Ideally, during iteration, additional concepts arebrainstormed based on initial test results. Figure 3: EDP Log, IdeateOn the Evaluate tab, the design descriptions auto-populate from the Ideate tab, along with thedesign requirements. Students are then asked to predict whether or not each concept is likely orunlikely to meet each of the requirements. These are just beliefs or predictions, but they shouldbe used to help the students to decide which concept(s) are most promising for furtherdevelopment and prototyping. When a student enters an ‘L’ for likely or a ‘U’ for unlikely, thegray cells turn green or red, respectively
interpret the combined graphs effectively. To address this issue,the handwritten key milestones were typed and arranged for legibility using Adobe Photoshoptools (Figure 6). In addition, to make each individual’s emotional state curve and key milestonesmore readily distinguishable from each other, and to enable us to explore the relationship betweencognitive style and emotional state, each individual curve was colorized based on the individual’scorresponding KAI score, as shown in Figure 6. The 10-point ranges were chosen based on the 10-point just-noticeable-difference for individual KAI scores3,23.
