Open CommunicationImposter syndrome refers to feeling like a fraud when one is objectively competent [3]. Whenindividuals struggle with imposter syndrome, they often discount their abilities and attribute theirachievements to luck or external factors [3]. The fear of being exposed can lead to heightenedstress and anxiety levels. Millennials and Gen Z tend to experience higher rates of impostersyndrome compared to other generations, possibly due to the increased pressure for academicand career success in the digital age [2]. Additionally, these younger generations are more likelyto report and be diagnosed with feelings of depression and anxiety.In the focus group interviews, several new hires identified feeling a heightened sense of

Findings regarding math and science interest and confidence seem toconvey a similar story; in one study, while science interest remained unchanged throughout astudent’s high school years, significant losses occurred in science confidence and math interestand confidence during these years [4]. These are alarming results, as these high school levelmath and science courses act as gatekeepers to STEM degrees and careers. One step towards overcoming this issue is to develop an understanding of what impacts astudent’s choice to attend college and to major in a STEM field. It is well understood that astudent’s interest in STEM develops through exposure at an early age [5]. While this interest ismaintained through middle

In Personnel andSupervisory Methods, role playing is instrumental in having the students apply what they arelearning to pseudo real life simulations. It is not as effective as an internship or a servicelearning project, but it does afford the students the safety of the classroom. In design and theoryclasses, role playing can be used where team projects have been assigned, if, at the completion ofthe project, the students are required to make a presentation in the role of designing engineer.This is a real life situation in which they will find themselves during their careers.

These concepts are definedbased on other complex subjects, such as multi-criteria decision-making, systems analysis, riskanalysis, and socioeconomic disaster impact analysis. It is one of the reasons why these conceptsare often taught in more advanced graduate-level courses, if at all, instead of undergraduatecourses. However, introducing these concepts early on is crucial, since the vast majority ofpracticing structural engineers start their careers after their undergraduate program.
