This review provides insight into the nuance ofthe breadth of students’ experiences in student organizations to inform future work examining thecontextual influence of experiential learning on engineering students’ professional development.IntroductionEngineering education programs aim to prepare graduates to transition into the 21st centuryworkforce as professional engineers with a breadth of technical and interpersonal skills and a senseof professional responsibility. Multiple competing influences have contributed to engineeringeducation’s current overcrowded curriculum, which largely focuses on technical knowledge [1].This technical focus is increasingly being questioned amidst calls for

While beyond the scope of the present study, examiningdirect evidence of students’ learning and development in this course context would be a usefulnext step. Our future work also seeks to understand how students identify their own and others’strengths and their conceptions of the design process. Individual student interviews along withanalysis of student free responses around design and project management will be used to furtherinvestigate these questions. In the present study, researchers hoped for a higher survey responserate to allow for group comparisons across various identities (i.e., race

Even more discouraging is the fact thatthere is insufficient amount of work on integrated approaches to address both micro and macroissues in engineering, that is, linking personal and professional ethics as well as linkingprofessional and social ethics [1]. The micro-macro distinction, however, is not always clear andone might find it difficult to encourage ethical reflection at a micro level without taking macroaspects into account [4]. To understand how microethics and macroethics are related, we will nowdiscuss each in detail.Sensitivity to MicroethicsMicroethics focuses on issues for the most part internal to engineering practice, such as therelationship between individual engineers, or between the engineers and their

Measuring these different mental models poses a unique challenge sinceconceptualizations are held in the mind and any description of them is simply a representation ofthe mental model and not the mental model itself; in other words, we are seeing a reflection ofthe mental model through a dirty mirror.

Moreover, women show greater commitment to community service in theirfaculty roles [23] and are more likely to pursue service as scholarship [24] [25] [26]. Park notesthat some responses to this gendered division of labor problematize women [17]. For example,women are often advised to become better at saying no to service requests in order to prioritizeresearch. She argues that such advice reflects sexist attitudes pervasive in our society thatundervalue nurturing tasks (child rearing, teaching, advising, mentoring) and communal servicetasks (departmental and institutional service) often undertaken by females.

The subscales associatedwith the latter set of indicators (experiences with faculty) are similar to faculty support andstudent-faculty interaction scales used in other research efforts. In contrast, the four subscalesassociated with academic challenge reflect what students actually do in their academic endeavorsby measuring time on task associated with the various skills that students use and develop duringtheir college experience [15].Studies which focus on the emotional aspects of engagement are

and BackgroundDespite decades of targeted effort and resources, women remain dramatically underrepresentedin engineering fields (Yoder, 2012) and this underrepresentation can lead to a number ormarginalizing experiences. Researchers have demonstrated the ways in which masculine normsand values are reflected in engineering practice and therefore code the discipline as male(Dryburgh, 1999; Secules, 2019). At the same time, technical/social dualisms map intomale/female binaries in ways that inform and support beliefs about what counts as engineeringwork and what is peripheral to the practice (Faulkner, 2000, 2007). These factors combine towhat amounts for an unwelcoming or chilly climate for women in most engineering fields(Ambrose, Bridges

, “Students’ agency beliefs involve how students see andthink about STEM as a way to better themselves and the world along with being a critic ofthemselves and science in general [20, p. 939]. The critical thinking perspective is intimately tiedto engineering agency beliefs, where students become “evaluator[s] of STEM as well as becomecritics of themselves and the world around them through self-reflection” [39, p. 13]. In essence,agency beliefs in this framework are based on a spectrum of how students view engineering as away to change their world or the world at large.Most agentic frameworks in engineering education used qualitative research methods.
