graduateschool. Statistics indicate the rates of completion are higher in engineering programs comparedto other fields [8], but engineering graduate students experience high levels of isolation, anxiety,and disconnectedness from their programs [9]. Although students may persist despite havingnegative experiences, many still consider these experiences as triggers for departure from theprograms. Those who persist in graduate school often abandon research or academic careers insearch of alternative paths due to the negative experiences in graduate school [10]. Factorsbeyond completion need to be included in evaluating success among graduate students.Considerations such as the level of students’ well-being, sense of belonging to the program,preparedness to
perspectives is a critical component.Professional dialogues encourage students to practice eliciting stakeholder needs, analyzingrequirements, and considering constraints in a manner that mirrors real-world engineeringprocesses. These interactions can also foster professional identity formation by exposing studentsto diverse career paths and professional norms.Table 3. Consolidated Implementation Guide for Professional Dialogue How to implement professional dialogues? To facilitate professional dialogues, educators can consider the following suggestions: • Identify and curate a list of experts/professionals from diverse backgrounds, including alumni, industry leaders, and community practitioners that align with the course
this study is to understand the factors undergraduate women consider when choosingan ESO membership and how their membership impacted their engineering identitydevelopment. This paper will focus on the following research questions: 1. Which factors motivated women to join gender identity-based engineering student organizations? 2. In what ways does involvement in gender identity-based engineering student organizations (GI ESOs) uniquely impact women’s engineering identity development?Engineering student organizations serve a purpose beyond networking and career developmentby providing a sense of community among peers with shared backgrounds, experiences, and/orinterests.

Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Dissecting 3D Printing for Engineering Design Process Education of High School Preservice Teachers Abstract 3D printing (3DP) has been becoming more and more popular throughout the education systemfrom Kindergarten to University. High school is a critical period for students to decide theirimminent university major selection which in turn will impact their future career choices. Highschool students are usually intrigued by hands-on tool such as 3DP which is also an importantcontributor to other courses such as robotics. The recent years have seen more investment andavailability of 3DP in high schools, especially Career and

Our work usessurvey data from before and during the Covid-19 pandemic to compare changes in students’engineering identity and examine how students’ reported Covid-19 stressors were associatedwith engineering identity during the pandemic. Our work focuses on the first and second-yearexperience of engineering students, as these two years are critical to academic success andretention in the engineering field. During these transitional years, students begin to bridgeconnections to peers and faculty, develop motivational beliefs, and make career choices(President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, 2012; Oseguera et. al., 2019;Robinson et al., 2019; Jones, et al., 2010).

A Chi square analysis was conducted on the number ofparticipants that either “Strongly Agreed” or “Agreed” compared to “Neutral”, “Disagree” or“Strongly Disagree”. The statistical significance was set at α=.05. The results of these questionsand the P-values are shown in Table 4. The majority of participants felt EDC increased theirdesire to pursue a STEM career and their knowledge of 3D printing at a statistically significantlevel. This result, in addition to the pre-post test results support the project’s goal of increasingthe technical knowledge of the students.

This highlights a significant gap between the role needed by society and theeducational preparation for structural engineers.Despite the importance of incorporating community resilience and DEI concepts into thecurriculum, it is not a trivial task due to the concepts’ complexity. These concepts are definedbased on other complex subjects, such as multi-criteria decision-making, systems analysis, riskanalysis, and socio-economic disaster impact analysis.
