For the students who were unable to obtain sufficient parental support, they refusedto seek outside assistance, which led to doubt in their ability to succeed.Academic Socialization and STEM Identity FormationBlack women's confidence in their abilities enables them to develop academic competency andbuild their STEM identities7,8. According to Young et al.47, it is the responsibility of parents toserve as the strongest and perhaps most effective support system for Black girls pursuing STEM-related careers. More specifically, Black parents are ideally placed to support Black girls inestablishing their
Figure 5 - average or “overall” engineering identity [15, Figs. 2, 5]. The authors reference the engineering identity as an ‘average’ in place of “overall” engineering identity. Instrument and interview (Kate & Dan) convergences: From the interviews, we found some student-reported experiences aligned with what was reported in the literature. Both participants identify an engineer as having a hard work ethic. This hard- working identity is reinforced by the high score of performance/competence on the engineering identity instrument. As reported by Godwin and Lee [15], a high score for this measure indicates having strong performance/competence beliefs or the self-beliefs to perform well and understand concepts in
professional and careerdevelopment, such as professional guest speaker presentations, career development activitiesoffered through university student support centers, and publishing their work in undergraduateacademic forums. Coupled with these activities, participants were enrolled in at least three of theCollege of Engineering and Technology’s project-based learning (PBL) courses, starting at thejunior level. The PBL sequence included the following courses: ENGR 350 - Engineering Practices and Principles III - Engineering project-based learning (open-ended) with emphasis on project control and engineering design processes. Special emphasis will be placed on professional, ethical, global, environmental, and contemporary issues

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 WIP: An Autoethnographic Account of a Female Engineering InternAbstractThis paper is a work in progress (WIP) that explores the experiences of a female undergraduateengineer, Kayla1, in both professional and academic settings. Studies have found that womenwho persist in engineering describe themselves as having an engineering identity [1]. Accordingto Faulkner, however, the normative engineering culture tends to make working relationshipseasier for men than women, and women are “visible as women, yet invisible as engineers” [2, p.169]. This

In a study of a senior engineeringcapstone course, Banios [18] found an increase of the amount of broader engineering practices(e.g., need analysis, ethics, risk assessment and analysis, iteration, management, and etc.) in thecapstone course resulted in positive exit comments from students. A follow-up study also provedthat the engineering

In addition, every field tends todefine creativity differently as it relates to that field, but most people view creativity as highlyvaluable [9].Creativity in Engineering. Creativity is increasingly essential to engineering. It is listed as thethird most important skill for an engineer to have [10]. The core of engineering is to solve real-world problems. In order to do this, engineers have to apply scientific principles in creative waysto develop effective and efficient solutions [11]. The problems we face today are becoming morecomplex as technology advances, therefore the solutions to these problems are required to bemore creative [12, 13

On the simplest level, this may take the form of asking students what content was unclearat the end of a lecture, and sharing responsibility for the learning of the material by spending afew minutes clarifying those concepts before the period ends. An examination of the function of content suggests that it is ethical to teach less contentin favor of spending a small portion of student energy on self-reflection, helping them to developas learners. When tangential conversations occur about the applications and implications ofcontent in a lecture, instructors recognize these conversations for the valuable learning momentsthat they are, while

sense of competition appeals to many underrepresented populationsin engineering.Engineering discourse is a discursive complex [4] that is made up of several types of engineeringdiscourses – scientific discourse of engineering, the management discourse of engineering, andother possible discourses such as ethics [5]. Engineering discourse includes the collection ofwords, visuals, and narratives through which engineers communicate [6]. The collection ofwords used includes the steps of the engineering design process and terms such as criteria andconstraints for elementary school students. The engineering design process is an example of anengineering design routine that contributes to engineering discourse [7]. It is an explorativeroutine which is
