Among the factors are the preconceptions in relation toSTEM careers, gender stereotypes, family attitudes, lack of women leaders in these areas whoare an example to inspire or to mentorship. The lack of gender equity for women inengineering is a global problem that has implications for society, as it means losing theopportunity to have this talent that is in such high demand today.

Student feedback (in the form of student reflections) provided insight intohow students interacted with the project. Despite being an individual project, many students describedcommunity building that occurred through collaboration. Students also described a sense ofaccomplishment from completing a difficult, open-ended design problem.

Self-assessment activities includestudents reflecting on, evaluating, and monitoring their own learning performances. Studentswho self-assess are better able to identify areas they need to improve upon, and to determine themost appropriate courses of action to achieve academic success. However, little is known aboutthe congruence in students’ perception of self-assessment and instructor's intent in requiring self-assessments.

learning is widely accepted as an integral part of engineeringeducation, as these experiences have been shown to improve students’ vocational self-conceptand work self-efficacy, as well as provide higher starting salaries post-graduation [10-11]. In thecontext of this study, enrolment in the program may signal students’ intent to be part of theengineering profession, or at least to obtain some professional experience in the field of theirdegree. However, given that the students are in their first year, we assume that they remain at anearly stage of professional socialization. Therefore, their expectations for the profession and theirown career trajectories may reflect their implicit assumptions about engineering and serve as abaseline for future

Now, in Year 2, the FLC is focused on translatingpedagogical practices from literature and other resources into particular courses. This cohort hasexperienced some adjustments as some faculty leave the FLC and new faculty choose to join theFLC. Since this cohort continues to grow, this paper presents key features that have supportedthe FLC’s formation and then transition
