we have will drive us and each other outside our comfort zones, and then our actions will do the same thing. I think that’s the power that we have to make change.”- Author Corey Bowen from Graduate Student and Postdoctoral Fellows’ Perspectives on Advancing Women and Gender Equity in Engineering panel during the 2022 ASEE Annual ConferenceThe value of panel discussions is derived from an understanding that there is value in capturingand presenting a wide range of viewpoints that could benefit a diverse audience. Paneldiscussions at conferences, in particular, are used to exchange viewpoints among expertsworking as a team, whether or not panelists agree on all issues, to create an interesting discussionfor the audience [1

The work-in-progress version of this paper attempts to engage with some of the workbeing done at ASEE by others interested in exploring makerspaces, retention, and the impact ofidentity formation on underrepresented student groups. For the final version after year two of thestudy, we expect to engage much more deeply with the broader literature on the subject. Whilethe recommendations are site specific to our university, we expect some of the

Adapted from Shelton (2019) or this conference paper, we honed in on EST’s construct of microsystems and specifically howFIDR graduate students’ mesosystem-level microsystems impact their development. EST posits that individuals directly or indirectly participate in a variety of different microsystems, where a microsystem is a “pattern of activities, roles, and interpersonal relations experienced by developing people in given settings with particular

discrimination experienced by women in engineering during their universityeducation. Discrimination at an earlier stage of professional development may have lastingimpacts on their career decisions. Therefore, the study of discrimination at the university levelshould be elaborated on. We hypothesize in 4a and 4b that discrimination experienced by womenin university is a significant negative predictor of Intentional Persistence. Women in academia are under-represented at all levels, but increasingly so in more seniorpositions [40]. In the 2018-2019 academic year, the University of Toronto Faculty of AppliedScience and Engineering reported that women made up 39.8% of the first-year students, 27.1%of the graduate students and only 15% of professors [41

The second and third authors audited the work by providing feedback on thedocumentation; this encouraged further interrogation of the journey maps, values statements, andfindings elicited from the data.

Two intersecting themes that emerged from Yadav et al.’s (2020) study are the value offamily orientation and intersectionality, unlike Crenshaw’s (1989) well-known definition ofintersectionality, which examines how U.S. structures frame identities as isolated and mutuallyexclusive resulting in the theoretical erasure of multiple minoritized identities (Crenshaw, 1989,p. 139; Carbado et al., 2013; Harris & Patton, 2019).

We found thatthe use of a regionally-centered, in-person event catalyzed participation in the region more thanany previously attempted recruitment efforts, including offers of financial support and meetingswith school leaders. Surveys were administered to a subset of participating teachers and students in the region,allowing for insights into how participants experienced the program in this setting. Outcomesassessed in the student survey include math interest, science interest, self-efficacy forschoolwork, and creative problem solving. Outcomes assessed in the teacher survey includeperceived impact of the program on students, motivation for participating in the program, andself
