a student-generated strategy for combattingdeclining female student enrollment and a poor retention rate. The study relied upon a survey ofmembers of a student organization, Women in Technology, for data. Open-ended questions wereincluded. Brand and Kasarda [11] studied female students enrolled in a high school roboticsprogram and at an all-women’s college, to determine the influence of social interactions onfemale engineering students. Encouraging female students to experiment with engineering in acollaborative environment was a goal for both programs. The qualitative study was conductedwithin a socio-cultural framework, assuming that individuals learn from communicating with oneanother and that interaction results in collective

Social, Technical… and Environmental?: Addressing Environmental Entanglements as Part of Engineering EducationAbstractTraining students to be sensitive to the entanglements of technologies and social life has been animportant move for engineering educators interested in advancing generative critiques ofengineering, connecting to student values, and framing new perspectives about what engineeringcan be. However, scholarship in Science and Technology Studies (STS) and EnvironmentalHumanities makes the case that engineering is more than sociotechnical. Environmentalconditions, forces, and agents are critical to consider in relation to technologies, too.In this paper, we suggest that introducing students to engineering as a social, technical

The outcome of this study will be a broad understanding of how the third-year curriculum in engineering can support EM development and autonomy across students ofdifferent backgrounds and identities. Importantly, this work will elucidate how these practicesinfluence inclusivity within the third-year core curriculum.Making with Purpose: “Making with Purpose” is about understanding and using the skills, craft,and art of making to foster a mindset in students as well as a skillset. “Making” broadly refers tothe practice of using tools and technologies as means of prototyping or creating digital orphysical artifacts.

Increasing the diversity of engineers may increase the extent towhich the engineering profession is committed to fostering positive societal impacts. Forexample, the communal and helping goals of female science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) students has been found to be stronger than male students [1, 2]. There arealso limited data showing that students from racial/ethnic groups under-represented inengineering are motivated by helping others through their work to a greater extent than Whitestudents [2, 3].
