Someparticipants earned a doctoral degree early in their career, some much later, some do not plan on earning adoctoral degree at all. This breadth of pathways is important when considering recruitment and careeradvancement policies. A “one size fits all” approach to recruitment, especially if that approach is modeledon the tenure-track recruitment criteria, will result in policies that exclude some candidates whoseperspectives and experiences would be an asset to the program. There was no career pathway that could bedescribed as “typical” among these ten participants.We found that our participants were hired with an

Pre-writing tasks provide opportunities for students to consider what they know anddon’t know about a topic, to organize their writing, and to plan their approach to writing [36, 38,39]. It includes all activities that culminate in a piece of writing: minute papers, reflections,assigned readings and responses, prelab assignments and discussions, and documenting theexperiment itself.Multimodal writing. This form of writing means incorporating multiple modes, such as images,audio, video, and text, and following discipline-specific or genre conventions [40].

In the United States, while the demographic composition ofstudents planning to major in science and engineering has become more diverse over time, thegender ratio remains poor with women receiving only 19% of the total undergraduateengineering degrees in recent years [7].
