asbeing for people who are “clever, bright, reserved, socially clumsy” or unlike ordinary people[1], and incompatible with non-masculine identities [1]. Undergraduate students without muchexposure to alternatives to these stereotypes may not envision themselves as being able to orwanting to do research. At the same time, research experiences may be the most accessibleduring an undergraduate degree at a research institution. Explicitly exposing students to research,especially students who feel they do not fit the cultural stereotype, may be a step to ultimatelyincrease diversity among graduate students and faculty members in engineering. In addition,many positions in industry require research thinking – exposing students to research maystrengthen

About halfof the students had at least one family member working as an engineer.

They are unsure of the extent to which various assignments need to be completed, as this is often dictated by the coach or technical mentor and expectations inevitably differ or are at least described differently among faculty members. The faculty are uncertain whether this is an unavoidable outcome of a very different learning structure for the students, or whether some revision could simplify this for the students. We will continue to explore this to reduce the confusion.In summary, we believe we have developed an effective program for our entire department toteam teach or “team mentor” our capstone design

in educational systems, will help with student retentionin engineering classrooms. Hence, diversifying the workforce results in a career path that is notrooted in the current patriarchal norms [3].In a post-secondary engineering faculty, that would mean the diversification of both faculty andthe student body to include more women and people of color. Creating a more inclusiveenvironment that stems from gender, race and ethnic diversity allows for new experiences andknowledge to be introduced [3]. Nielsen et al. highlight how gender diversity contributes to teamdynamics by enhancing creativity, decision making, and problem solving when compared to all-men research teams. This is largely due to the ability of women to recognize their
