We argue that the pandemic impacted student math readiness, which subsequently impacted their transition to the university and into engineering, as illustrated in Figure 1. igure 1FRelationship between Pandemic, Math Readiness, and Transition to University/Engineering . COVID-19’s Effect on EducationAThe COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented challenges to the education system, and many students struggled. Due to school and home life disruptions during the pandemic, students reported difficulty completing their schoolwork. Specifically, female and underrepresented minority (URM) students reported having more difficulty completing schoolwork[9]. With varying restrictions across states and school

This suggests that the fAEC-KLM was effective in boostingconfidence and interest in AEC among African American middle school girls. C. fAEC-KLM

Finally, an associate professor in a different department alsoreported a strong amount of support from both male and female colleagues at ResearchUniversity I. Yet, she described a “systemic bias” during her graduate and postdoctoral careerthat caused some of her female peers to decide not to seek a faculty position. She recalled, “I hada lot of friends who wanted to be faculty and they just got tired. They got tired of constantlyfighting.” At Research University III, women faculty
of astudent’s perceived inclusiveness within an academic unit, provides empirical evidence of theunwelcoming culture of engineering graduate education. According to Gardner et al. [3],engineering graduate students reported a relatively lower sense of belonging within theiracademic department compared to students in other disciplines. O’Meara et al.’s [4] research onSTEM students’ sense of belonging echoed this claim, highlighting that there are fewerfacilitators (e.g., a critical mass of women, micro affirmations) for creating an inclusiveenvironment in STEM graduate programs compared to those in non-STEM disciplines. Theseauthors collectively emphasized the need for investigating engineering graduate studentexperience and integration

Experiences in World War IIGiven that World War II ended only a few years before the Directory was compiled, it is notsurprising that many engineering library staff were veterans or had worked in positions thatsupported the war effort. Although men were more likely to serve in the armed forces, womenalso served in various roles.U.S. Army veterans included Harry C. Bauer, Director of Libraries at the University ofWashington from 1947-59.

This study investigated which component(s) the survey claimed to measure, and towhich construct, self-concept or self-efficacy, the component was described to represent. Thecomponents and their associated construct(s) are listed in the results. Although the search waslimited to papers assessing self-concept, the search revealed papers that measured self-efficacyusing scales that the authors described as self-concept. So, it seemed befitting to classify bothconstructs in the analysis.It is likely that these components or sub-constructs would vary for
