My whitetransgender state has come with unearned benefits and disadvantages during my engineeringeducation journey. While often the only female in my courses of white males, I honestly did notquestion whether I belonged since I felt like “one of the guys.” Over the course of my career, Iinternalized the cultural narrative that I was “less than” my male peers. I often encounter themasculine norms above in the culture of engineering education – in what is valued (or notvalued); in the language, habits, and ways of interacting that are accepted as “normal,” in theworkplace behaviors that are deemed “unprofessional

. Targeting these types of activities may be effective atreducing student loneliness. Diehl et al. conclude their study with the following: Universities are a perfect setting for conducting interventions to support students in attaining a healthy lifestyle (e.g., by offering sport courses) and also for giving them the opportunity to start their professional career being healthy. Giving support at this stage of life is important in preventing lonely students from “being trapped in loneliness as they age”Moving forwards, the authors are planning improvements for the 2020 fall break intervention.Speaking with students who remained on campus, there is clearly appetite to increase the numberand variety of social activities running during the week

important consideration in course structure. Although these skills are critical for a successful career in engineering, they are often not explicitly included in lecture based course outcomes. Student ability and learning in these areas is also not typically assessed, likely due to the lack of metrics available to evaluate this type of learning. We have therefore introduced a weekly reflection, including both multiple choice and free response questions, into the course structure. The importance of reflection on teaching and learning has been well documented (Boud, Keogh, & Walker; Brookfield, 1990; Dewey, 1993, King & Kitchener, 1994; Schön, 1983). Providing students with opportunities to reflect on their learning helps them

Since then, some scholars have called our attention to how the focus ofwell-intentioned ECD projects on technological fixes and deliverables tend to leave out criticalreflections of engineers’ motivations to be in these projects, and of the processes required tobuild trust and determine communities’ priorities and desires [3][4]. Unfortunately, these calls tocritical reflection in the ECD space are often overshadowed by the continued emergence ofmilestones and challenges (e.g., UN Sustainable Development Goals, NAE

Individuals tend to orient themselves to the people in theirenvironment; that is, they tend to be able to imagine themselves in the positions of people withwhom they come into contact [6]. The alignment of engineering students is significantly associatedwith the majors and careers they choose to pursue [6]. Therefore, when facing ambiguous ethical 8dilemmas, orientation to others in their environment is likely to predict microethical understanding[6].Bairaktarova and Woodcock (2015) also found that differences in individual

The ideas students came up with were often trivial andunimaginative; they were frequently oriented toward individual use and addressed problems ofno greater significance than that of minor inconvenience. For example, each semester wouldyield various designs for collapsible backpack umbrellas, automated erasers for dry-erase boards,and novel charging methods for personal electronic devices. Equally problematic was thatstudents struggled to see the value of the patent application assignment to engineering practice.On course evaluations they frequently voiced that it was difficult to appreciate the project’srelevance to a career in engineering especially as they were unlikely to become inventors orpatent attorneys.

challenges for educators [12].Engineering education scholars Juan Lucena and Jon Leydens suggest incorporating contextualdetail into more traditional technical problems that students are presented with. They proposedoing so by asking traditional technical questions in ways that require students to interrogatepotential circumstances of problems they are given in class [13]. This can be done in ways thatdo not forfeit the technical requirements demanded of an engineer, but rather complementlearning in the classroom to better mirror (and prepare students for) the socio-technical worknecessary for acting as Engineering Changemakers or, simply, for successful careers inengineering.This paper details the first iteration of a module to incorporate

program because in this framework students are led to view the coursecontents as unconnected pieces. Thus, students lack the understanding of how theseunconnected course materials build on each other to form the core knowledge expected of acompetent electrical engineer. This lack of understanding manifests itself in low studentmotivation, interest, and knowledge regarding the discipline. Furthermore, it results in studentsperceiving a lack of value and career opportunities relative to the amount of effort required togo through the program [1]-[4]. As a result, attrition rates in engineering departments havebeen higher than expected. For example, the number of American students earning bachelor’sdegrees increased by 16% over the past 10 years

Further, student decisions toengage in global activities after returning from a global experience can increase the long-terminfluence of the global program on their attitudes and career plans [9]. These studies suggest thatalthough the structure and components of global programs can influence program outcomes,there can still be different pathways for students who have the same experience.
