With tools and worksheets created on the basis of this and related research,our aim is to equip soon-to-be-professionals, and their mentors and teachers, with insights toadvocate for better and more equitable workplace practice.2.0 Background of the Study2.1 Stretch assignments: Definition and dimensionsIn a larger employment context where workers, especially technical knowledge workers, areexpected to manage their own ‘portfolio careers’ and are increasingly commodified as the sum oftheir projects, developmental

To increase the number of doctoral degrees earned, there must be anincrease in the number of Hispanic students entering graduate programs. According to theEngineering by the Numbers ASEE report, even though Hispanics represent 18.7% of the USpopulation, only 9.2% and 6.1% of master and doctoral degrees, respectively, are awarded toHispanic recipients [5]. Further, the numbers decrease again when faculty appointments areconsidered, where only 3.6% of faculty appointments in engineering are held by Hispanicprofessors.Convincingly, increasing Hispanic

context of MSFW students in STEM fields?A. Construct GenerationThe survey instrument in this study was a combination of two existing validated instruments onCommunity Cultural Wealth (CCW) and Funds of Knowledge (FofK). One of the instruments isfrom a conference proceeding on ASEE titled Critically Quantitative: Measuring CommunityCultural Wealth on Surveys [33], which was developed by looking at underrepresented groups inSTEM fields. While the instrument in the study is consistent with Yosso’s [15] framework andgoes deeper in detail about the type of constructs for CCW. For this study, only the social construct(10 items) was used and renamed as social networks. The second instrument comes from a journalpaper titled Recognizing the funds of
