situationswith flexibility and imagination [3], [6]-[10].As well, the increasing complexity of work environments – due both to higher task variety andvolatility, and to higher levels of required knowledge [11] – makes the development of adaptiveexpertise an urgent priority for today’s post-secondary students, particularly engineering students(e.g., [9]-[10]). Static subject expertise is no longer sufficient for a successful career, if it everwas. Current students will need to be employees who can take their subject expertise and apply itin novel ways: invent new procedures, solve novel problems, and/or combine their insights withthose of other fields [11] - [14]. Moreover, rapid technological change and economic shifts havemade the ability to respond

theseinsights, we offer pragmatic suggestions for refinement of the instrument. In these suggestions,we aim to enlighten future efforts to engage students in the diversification and inclusivity of theengineering field, and prevent future researchers from making similar methodological mistakes. INTRODUCTIONSince the U.S. Congress passed the Science and Technology Equal Opportunities Act in 1980,diversifying the engineering workforce has remained a national priority [1]. This act underscoredthe desire to reach equal representation of genders, races, ethnicities, and economic statuses inthe engineering profession [2], and emphasized the support of groups that are traditionallyunderrepresented in engineering, such as

Instruction for K-12 Engineering (Work in Progress)IntroductionEfforts to diversify the engineering workforce are informed by the fact that engineeringcontinues to remain a White, male-dominated profession [1]. Underrepresented students leavescience, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) programs in middle school, highschool, and in undergraduate programs [2]-[4] at a disproportionate rate compared to their Whitemale colleagues.In order to broaden participation and provide equitable engineering education forunderrepresented students, better approaches are necessary to support these students’ pathwaystoward STEM careers.

methodological, technological, and objective [74]. It is a field thathas been mostly established by White men who have decided what is engineering and who getsto participate [74]. There is also no recognition to different epistemologies and solutions toengineering problems, and designs are thought to be race and gender free [59]. In the UnitedStates, engineering has seldom been framed as a social justice profession and, as Cech hasargued [75], ideologies of depoliticization and meritocracy held by many engineers make itextremely difficult to frame the profession in such a way. Instead, engineering is framed aspurely objective, meritocratic, and composed of rigorously-constrained problem solving [75].While “improving society” is part of many definitions

The self-efficacy construct is usedas a measure of students' self-judgment that reflects what students believe they can do with theskills they possess.
