Zumbrunn et al. found that when studentsperceived the classroom environment to be supportive, their in-class engagement increased [16].Moreira et al. demonstrated that community building in the form of events, retreats, and onlinediscussions contributed to the retention and positive career outcomes for students from groupshistorically minoritized in STEM [17].

These shared sentiments resulted in the SELs developing strongrelationships with each other as they considered themselves a “team.” As one SEL says “myfellow SEL members are great people I can work with, and I feel like I can speak my thoughtsand do my job without any environmental setbacks.” (Louis) They supported one another in

What does studying in a male-dominated space mean forwomen? There are different expectations that women must meet in engineering spaces. Oneaspect is to behave in certain ways to be accepted and valued. Such behaviors involve showing alack of self-assurance, ambition, and initiative, which avoids confrontations with their male peersbut also limits women’s career opportunities [4].

Attendees may have a lot of questionsabout the rigor of the degree and the career culture afterwards. These questions are often trickyin this environment, but the best answer is the honest answer. Students may ask questions aboutfailing course work or about experiencing discrimination. These kinds of questions and storiescan be so impactful to all students that question whether they belong in the engineeringdiscipline when they experience failure in their degree [40].

This details guidelines to studentsof what ethical practice may look like in the engineering careers, and it is accounts for many ofthe engineering ethics curricula. “Intellectual engagement” deals with student understanding ofthe principles of moral reasoning and how to engage with ambiguous scenarios. Here, studentsare asked to practice how to make ethical decisions and what may be guiding these decisionframeworks from a provided ethical framework.

Just like every kidis different, every student learns differently. Students can learn at their own pace with the flippedclassroom but must submit assignments on time. This method may flip students from passivelearners to active learners thereby increasing student engagement.In traditional face-to-face classrooms, an instructor gives a lecture, teaches students aboutconcepts and theorems, and explains examples.

Jordan described this process as “practicingengineering,” effectively internalizing iteration as the work of a successful engineer: “I think I'm a lot more confident than I was going into it. Especially with the projects we've been working on every morning– it gives me an idea on what engineering is actually like and what I would be doing on a daily basis if this was my career. I’d still like to make it my career, I like what I've been doing…. And because I was actually practicing engineering, instead of just learning the skills, and that definitely helps with confidence.” Student agency was also evident in how students talked about applying their confidencewith iteration and
