This IUSE project focuses on the development,implementation, and evaluation of the impact of a unique storytelling intervention to enhance theself-view of undergraduate engineering students. It explores how telling personal narrativesabout oneself affects students' engineering professional identity, sense of belonging, andpersistence in the major. Collaborating with the non-profit organization The Story Collider andfunded by an NSF grant (award #2142137), the research uses a design-based mixed-methodsapproach to investigate the impact of storytelling on undergraduate engineering students.Incorporated into engineering courses, this intervention targets students during their sophomoreyear with the goal to develop and refine

Thisprogram is a 27 semester-hour sequence of seminars and off-campus activities with the primarygoal of providing a select number of engineering students the opportunity to cross the boundariesof their technical expertise and to gain the sensitivity to prove, project, and test the moral andsocial implications of their future professional judgments and activities, not only for theparticular organizations with which they will be involved, but also for the nation and, indeed, theworld. To achieve this goal, the program brings themes from the humanities and social sciencesinto the engineering curriculum that

Through these authentic design activities students see first-hand theimpact of their design solutions, and the relevance of their work in a broader context.
