This association of gender and career field also impacts young people before theycommit to a career path: middle schoolers have parroted the assumption that engineering is acareer for men [8].The Media and Women in STEMThese disciplinary norms and perceptions are reflected in the ways in which, and if, women inSTEM are portrayed in art, media, and popular culture around the world [3, 7, 9, 10, 11].

convinced that “Participate indeveloping existing & new products & and operations” is an important high demand skill formanufacturing technicians, but that skill is currently missing in their workforce. Only 12% of thecollege faculty considered this skill as a significant skill for their graduates to possess. For theother case: “3D CAD & printing/ prototyping” is extremely popular, 60%, among faculty but amoderate, 36%, at best priority among the manufacturers. Thus, in Florida, an industry identifiedskills need, “Participate in developing …” is not currently a priority for the faculty andsubsequently not incorporated regularly in the curriculum, while the State-wide faculty interestin “3D CAD & printing/ prototyping” is extensively

First, since implementationof LCs is not always feasible, to infuse narrative elements into problem-solving we developed anarrative module to help students develop narrative and writing skills that can be incorporated inall sections of the PS course. Second, we developed a series of student-assessed case studies thatcan be integrated in all sections of the PS course for computer systems majors.

In addition to that question, this pilot research has two objectives: (1) to obtain preliminary insights from the data, and (2) use these insights to improve the initial questionnaire created for this study. Methodology Instrument To design the questionnaire, four dimensions (or constructs) were chosen as basic building blocks: (1) attitudes toward learning Spanish and other L2; (2) instrumental orientation toward Spanish and other L2; (3) integrative orientation toward U.S. Hispanics and Latin American countries; (4) attitudes toward global experiences, at the international level –like studying
