The five Latina participants named their families andcampus organizations focused on women in engineering as important sources of support as theypursued their education. Further, this study found that Latinas in engineering encounter tensionbetween their engineering identities and other identities such as their gender and racial/ethnicidentities. By understanding the process of professional identity development and its interactionswith other personal identities, researchers, practitioners, and administrators may develop supportmechanisms that provide a holistic approach to supporting the present and future success ofLatina engineering students.LATINAS

In the innovation course the students developed new ideas forproducts and services using creativity and ideation techniques, which were the central coursecontent. The upshot was that the projects were developed in periods ranging from several weeksto a few months, all in the context of courses emphasizing design methods. These origins ofprojects stand in contrast to the projects seen in NSF I-Corps, which are typically the result oflonger-term research from university laboratories by personnel who are emotionally invested inthis research and its products. In the courses studied here, the students’ projects
operational purposes. Currently, technicians need to manually check these quantities, and even send oil samples to a laboratory. This project aimed at utilizing an Internet of Things (IoT)- based platform to measure these quantities remotely. In this system, oil temperature, oil level and oil permittivity are measured with custom transducers. This information is then collected and sent to a remote server that can be accessed from any computer or smart phone. This real-time information could reveal problems within a transformer or elsewhere in the power system, creating a more precise way to dispatch system maintenance. SE

Challenges associated with teaching and learning the designsoftware limited the ability of the student design teams to succeed in using the software to thedesired extent. Improvements for the following academic year involved faculty software trainingduring the summer and additional class and laboratory time dedicated to software learning usingtutorials for students during the semester. Student feedback on the use of tutorials was positiveas measured qualitatively through student feedback and quantitatively through evaluation ofcourse work products and exams.

Engineering provides a unique platform to make an impact on the world. Engineersare responsible for utilizing the scientific principles studied in laboratories, patterns and lawsderived by mathematicians, and creativity to develop new products and processes or improveexisting ones. These products and processes have an impact on consumers and the envir onmentthat surrounds them, both small and large. Thus, it is vital that engineers have a
