Further demonstrating the necessity ofsociotechnical education, Riley and Sciarra’s case study demonstrates that women inengineering education can benefit from opportunities to grapple with historical legacies relevantto their own experiences and career aims.In this paper, we analyze film representations of the École massacre from the early documentaryAfter the Montréal Massacre (Rogers 1990) to Denis Villeneuve’s 2009 feature dramatizationPolytechnique. We do not find that filmmakers over time have arrived at more comprehensiveaccounts of the tragedy or keener diagnoses of its causes. Instead, each telling becomes furtherremoved from the initial feminist understanding of the events

Additionally, the creation and validation of atool to measure faculty perceptions of providing encouragement can be used by institutions toidentify critical areas to strengthen how we teach in engineering.Guiding FrameworkAn extensive literature review showed the Academic Encouragement Scale (AES) and theFaculty Encouragement Scale (FES) as the best instruments to guide this research [20, 21]. Bothmeasure students’ perceptions of receiving encouragement in academic settings. Findings fromboth studies indicate that receiving encouragement increases students’ self-efficacy and outcomeexpectations.The Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) guided the development of the survey

IntroductionThe societal role of engineers has steadily evolved from a technical problem solver to that of a“technical mediator,” in which engineers engage with stakeholders to define the problem, ideate,and develop solutions [1,2]. Yet, engineering curricula still tends to focus on guiding studentsthrough problems that can be answered in a single, technical solution [3], ignoring thecomplexities needed to prepare students to solve real world problems [3, 4]. As stated bySchwartz et al. [2], “of particular interest to educators are

PursueSTEMGathering data on student awareness of STEM careers through the lens of teacher surveys and focusgroups after participation in a RET program has been a standard method used to assess programimpact [15]. The increase in student willingness to pursue STEM as a career option has been one ofmany RET programs' primary goals. Post RET classroom activity feedback shows gains in studentawareness of STEM and engineering applications, directly resulting from teachers feeling empoweredand adequately equipped after attending RET programs. One such survey conducted by the E3 teacherresearch program gathered 2,000 student responses, which showed an increase in interest in pursuingan engineering degree in college after completing the teacher's program activities
