This association of gender and career field also impacts young people before theycommit to a career path: middle schoolers have parroted the assumption that engineering is acareer for men [8].The Media and Women in STEMThese disciplinary norms and perceptions are reflected in the ways in which, and if, women inSTEM are portrayed in art, media, and popular culture around the world [3, 7, 9, 10, 11].

The skills dimension includes empathic skills that canbe learned such as perspective taking, mode switching, and affective sharing. The orientationdimension concerns one’s proclivity for being empathetic and includes aspects such as anepistemological openness and reflective values awareness. The being dimension aligns withone’s values and morals as engineers and citizens and how these morals and values define andguide our actions and behaviors.

Further, expanding racial (and gender) representation of engineering faculty hasbecome a top priority in many engineering colleges and departments across the country. Despitethe best intentions, many organizations have failed to reflect societal demographics within theirfaculty ranks. Techniques and strategies exist to recruit candidates from traditionallyunderrepresented groups, yet the full participation of these groups has not been achieved [6].It is clear that the engineering programs within higher education must improve their teachingapproaches to address issues of diversity

Those areas are “extras” in the teaching of students and if we take the timeto question our students on what they have been asked to do outside of the technical pursuits, Ibelieve that we will find that their perceptions of life in the real world will far exceed fluids andcontrols.

A brief description of each of these humancognitive capacities follows: Ability to Use Symbols: By the use of symbols, humans transform immediatevisual experiences into internal cognitive models that in turn serve as guides for theiractions. Through symbolizing, people also ascribe meaning, form and duration to theirpast experiences. Learning Through Observations: Learning can also occur indirectly by observingother people’s behavior and its outcomes. Individuals’ capacity to learn by observationenables them to obtain and accumulate rules for initiating and controlling differentbehavioral patterns without having to

In engineering, the previous levels of the taxonomy culminate to the design of a component or system that invokes all previous levels of the taxonomy.
