This study adopted narrative interview methods to capture stories of the livedexperience of Black graduate students in engineering. In order to be interviewed for this study,participants had to: (1) identify as Black; (2) be enrolled in a doctoral engineering program at anaccredited engineering college; and (3) have engaged in either NSBE and/or BGLOs as anundergraduate student. As an initial recruitment effort, the research team deployed ademographic survey to targeted institutions through networks of Minority Engineering Programadvocates and listservs associated with Black engineering organizations.

Some encourage internal growth and reflection, and others are more academic minded, like Fabricate: LU and LWE.

These preset requirements are often referred to not as volunteering, but asbeing “voluntold,” something that Generation Z is pushing back against once reaching college [11,p.250]. According to Seemiller and Grace: Given Generation Z students’ lack of interest in volunteerism to begin with, these students will likely not take well to strict parameters that reflect being voluntold to serve the community in a particular way or for a particular cause. Opening up the definition of community service or volunteerism to include entrepreneurism, invention, and other engagement opportunities might overcome the

The competitiveculture was reflected in pedagogical practices and department policies. Pedagogical practicesincluded forming teams to work on projects.

The Standish Group’sCHAOS reports also emphasize the importance of user involvement and complete requirements,and pre-2000 reports are frequently used to illustrate the connection between requirements andproject success [15], [29], [37]. Newer reports frame the factors differently, yet still point to aclear connection between user or stakeholder needs and clearly stated requirements,recommending that projects focus “on a narrow set of features and requirements, which usersfind easier to understand and absorb” [39].

backgroundIn 2006, Jeannette Wing, at that time, head of the computer science department at Carnegie Mellon,promoted the term computation thinking (CT). She defined computational thinking as "a range ofmental tools that reflect the breadth of the field of computer science."[1] (p.33). In this same article,Wing invited the community to see CT not only as a set of skills concerning computer scientistsbut every professional.After 2006 a significant movement of supporters of CT started to look for a formal definition andcomposition of CT. In the last 14 years, over 20 definitions and frameworks for CT have beenproposed [2], [3]. Nevertheless, although there have been increasing efforts to compile a singledefinition, those were unsatisfactory[4]. It is the

Reflective of this debate arechanges in ASCE’s Policy Statement 465 and the Civil Engineering Body of Knowledge(CEBOK) over time [4,5,6], as well as changes in the National Council of Examiners forEngineering and Surveying (NCEES) model law.
