And then personally, I guess I don't mind making something hard for myself to make sure that I try to do it more… I am very confident that I understand the engineering that I want to understand. I'm not 100% Confident in statics … If I wanted to go farther in statics, I'd probably have to learn more. (Student #3) That changes my experience of learning, because then I'm number one, I'm not afraid to fail. Number two, I push myself to actually understand the concept because I'm not just trying to memorize the definition out of a book, because the book is right in front of me. And I could read that definition, I have to make sure I actually understand what it

At the same time, a large proportion of oursample was first year engineering students in a general engineering program where a portion ofthe content focuses on choosing academic majors so this may have been on student’s minds. Ofparticular note is the perceived importance (or lack thereof) of sexual orientation on the qualityof engineering solutions. Such a result is challenging to interpret; for example, the low score forthe importance of sexual orientation does not necessarily imply that respondents do not “value”diversity in sexual orientation, though it could. Instead, a low score might imply that respondentsdo not understand how or why someone’s sexual orientation might influence the quality of anengineering solution. In this way

By social context, wemean, for this study, the gendered and racialized contexts in environmental work. In fact, wewould expect these contexts to come into play even in the selection of their major—climateeffects, public environmental discourse, and environmental policy all have gendered and racialsocial components that frame students’ matriculation into the major as much as their journeysthrough and beyond it.

In addition, entrepreneurial-minded learning (EML)activities were implemented in several courses in electrical engineering and computerengineering based on the recent results in the undergraduate program. For this project,background and explanation of the frameworks are described in a capstone course for the
dynamics that occur at both curricular stages, however, can oftenbe challenging. Student population, course structure, project scope, timeline, and courseworkload are just a few factors that may influence how effective students are as team membersand what strategies instructors may use to promote healthy team dynamics.Previously, the implementation of an equity minded strategy for promoting healthy teamdynamics was explored in an introductory biomedical engineering (BME) course [1]. The use ofasset-based activities throughout the course provided introductory students with a mechanism toshare about their individual assets with their teammates and complete their team-based designproject through the lens of team member assets and interests.

The program reaches on average over 100 middle-school-aged girlsannually, bringing them to Rowan’s campus to explore engineering through hands-on projectsand demonstrations. This applied approach to learning, a hallmark of Rowan Engineering,introduces AWE participants to various engineering disciplines and careers and provides anopportunity to connect with like-minded peers and current engineering undergraduates asmentors and advisors.
