Trainees may benefit from having more formalfeedback from professors and their peers when preparing for presentations to communitymembers or writing to government leaders. Taken together with trainees’ satisfaction andusefulness ratings, portfolio reflections provided further evidence that our courses helpedtrainees build knowledge and skills.While most students were satisfied with the design courses we offered, there is still room forimprovement in the courses. Feedback on the post-survey and course reflections suggests thatrequiring students to have completed prerequisites may help move the course along faster.

He thinks that women do not gointo engineering only because they choose not to, which is related to the first conceptionthat systemic discrimination (a form of HC) is not an issue, yet the experiences andstatistics of marginalized individuals in engineering argue otherwise. The participantdoes not account for gender stereotypes and influences that impact women’s choices togo into engineering, such as the influence of family, peer groups, and societal/culturalgender stereotypes on the attraction of adolescent boys to STEM-related subjects andemphasis on their performance [48].

However, in the collaborative problem-solving paradigm, there is ageneral understanding that students can contribute to projects in a way that is more tailored totheir skills and interests. By promoting this approach, a culture of collaboration, innovation andinclusion in engineering education and the profession is fostered. This shift in focus should alsoinclude flexible teaching and evaluation methods that recognize that different students learndifferently [14].A Theory of Change for an Engineering DepartmentThe NSF

This adoption and emulation of attitudes, behaviors and practices – in allforms of linguistic and symbolic units – serve the purpose of being recognized as engineeringeducators by peers, mentors, professors, and those who are part of the world of engineering [38,39]. Thus, we posit that current discourses and practices of doctoral engineering students in theclassroom, as they engage in teaching, are a representation of the current culture of engineering.That is, doctoral engineering students enact overt and subtle behaviors learned and adopted inengineering spaces throughout their undergraduate and doctoral programs such as a sense ofsuperiority in their ability to solve

The UMD research guide to citation justicelinks to a basic spreadsheet template that can be used for in depth auditing [23]. Keeping trackof citation composition using a spreadsheet allows the audit to be in-depth and thorough,although it can be time consuming. Codes have also been developed to analyze the gender andethnic makeup of a bibliography and can provide an overview audit in a fraction of the time.
