public I should always keep an open mind and consider different groups. A sentence from the lecture that resonated with me and I wrote down was ‘If we don’t design for everyone - not everyone benefits from engineering.’” “These lectures and quiz sections have been my favorite so far in this class. Learning about how extreme the lack of diversity in the STEM field is was stunning to me… I had never considered that social biases could be reflected in science, a topic which I took for cold hard facts.” Comments on weaknesses and areas for improvement: Feeling that [university] generally is very biased in one direction can be intimidating. I don’t disagree with a more liberal perspective, but it makes it hard to even discuss other

He analogizes culture as the “software of the mind” in that culture is a mental programthat is developed by social interactions and experiences collected across an individual’s lifetime.In his words, “the programming starts within the family; it continues within the neighborhood, atschool, in youth groups, at the workplace, and in the living community” (p. 6). In order tounderstand this culture, Hofstede developed a series of dimensions to characterize the commontraits and beliefs every individual has, with each dimension

The campus wide effort at LTU to foster an entrepreneurial mindset in our graduates isfocused on three areas. These are faculty engagement, curriculum development, and studentengagement. With regard to curriculum development, we intentionally weave a continuousthread of entrepreneurially minded learning through our core engineering curriculum. In thefreshman year, we lay the foundation of entrepreneurial mindset development in our EGE 1001Introduction to Engineering Design Projects.

As argued by Turner [28], marginalized faculty ‘socialized for success,’ may reproducepatterns of inequity.We believe that engineers are fair minded and rational and do believe that, when researchdemonstrates a clear connection between gendered teaching practices and a consequential exodusfrom the field, engineers will take heed. We therefore call upon researchers to explore morecritically learning contexts with an eye toward exposing the implicit White, male dominant normsand their effects on the discipline. As many have shown [12], [41] engineers have been ratheruncritical of their working contexts—looking for alternate explanations and anemic solutions likerecruitment to resolve inequity.

be more open-minded towards females asking for those positions. Theymay not have “enough experience” because they are not offered enough opportunities to gain“enough experience”. Female faculty need to be encouraged to improve their leadership skills byattending training, workshops, conferences, etc.Conclusions and Future WorkAutoethnographic narratives of three female faculty in engineering who have experienced genderbias have enabled this topic to be explored. The findings from this research are consistent with thelarge body of literature on gender bias in academia. The recommendations indicate the need forfurther research, support, and awareness for female faculty who face these biases.The authors plan to continue their work on gender

problem seems to be in the fact that the academic foundation that should have beendeveloped over the years in K-12, is not at the level that is expected from incoming freshmen.This raises the question: how can engineering students receive adequate training if they are notcollege-ready? One has to keep in mind that one-year programs are likely unable to help studentscatch up on all K-12 skills and knowledge. The task seems even more formidable consideringthat study habits and academic attitudes are usually formed and solidified during K-12.Clearly there is no single remedy for the problem. Study habits, general attitude towardseducation, and academic preparedness need to be addressed. A solution for the latter issue maybe obtained by integrating
factors contributing to mental health issues among college students, thereis a notable gap in the literature regarding international undergraduates in engineering.International students, with their different beliefs, values, and expectations related to mentalhealth, may have different coping strategies, help-seeking preferences, and service utilizationpatterns. Among various factors, religiosity may influence their approach to coping, seekingassistance, and utilizing services. With this in mind, this study investigates the impact ofreligiosity on the mental health, help-seeking behavior, and service utilization of internationalundergraduate engineering students in the United States.Purpose/Hypothesis: This study explores the relationship between
scores of five had statistically lower first semester GPAs than students withscores of 4. Negative openness scores of 3 or higher for these students were statistically relatedto higher first semester GPAs than scores of 2. Only negative mindfulness score was found to bestatistically significant for Algebra II students’ enrollment in Spring 2020, with studentsreporting mid-range scores (3), being less likely to be enrolled than students at either extreme.Students in Algebra II are under-prepared for a course of study in engineering, so the statisticalsignificance of a mindfulness factor is consistent with previous work [10,11]. This was the onlytime that negative mindfulness score was found to be statistically significant.ConclusionsIn addition
