and can visualize themselves as successful engineering students and professionals, thehigher the persistence and retention rates [2], [4], [8], [11], [15], [17]. In fact, one study showedthat 90% of students who graduated from an engineering program had declared engineering astheir major prior to attending the institution, regardless of gender [12]. In other words, studentsrarely transfer into an engineering program from another major. If a student does not come to theinstitution in mind, they will rarely change to an engineering program, often due to perceptionsof engineering being too hard for most students [12]. This highlights the need for creating asense of self-efficacy in young women to pursue engineering. If they have not made that

Afacilitated discussion via Cisco WebEx was leveraged to compile the vision of each individual.Next these individual responses were integrated into a shared vision for the committee.For the facilitated discussion, the volunteers were asked “If anything was possible, what wouldthe university, the college of engineering and computing and the women advisory committee belike in the future?” Additionally, they were asked to consider the recently developed missionwhile leveraging the strengths of the

As published previously by Atadero et al., studentswith inclusive professional identities will possess four different attributes: (a) the necessarytechnical knowledge, skills, and abilities to work in their chosen field, (b) an appreciation forhow all kinds of diversity strengthen engineering and computer science as disciplines, (c)knowledge of how to act in inclusive ways and create inclusive environments within their fields,and (d) consideration of diverse populations who are impacted by their professional practice [3].Attributes (a), (b), and (d) were kept in mind when analyzing both the logistics of the activities,as well as the student experience.

I gained confidence in having good balanced values towards underrepresented groups. I learned a lot from this experience about the prevalence of women being disenfranchised in the engineering environment and about what it means to have privileges as a white male, and what I can do to help. Whole new insight about how women feel, what things are inappropriate. I still have a lot I need to work on. Experience has opened my mind to a lot.

entrepreneurial behavior of engineers”,3 we queried engineering educators to see what terms came most readily to their minds when thinking about ‘innovative and entrepreneurial engineers,’ in terms of characteristics, actions, and mindsets. Using information provided by respondents, we investigated how views differ based on level of experience or knowledge associated with I&E as part of engineering education? 2. What role does the community think I&E should have as part of undergraduate engineering education? Engineering schools and departments are challenged to prioritize and find space for all of the competing foci, such as sustainability, global, green, research or civic engagement, that
