community.IntroductionEngineering Technology programs, including both two year and four year tracks, continue togrow. Engineering and Engineering Technology by the Numbers [3] published that there were14,312 degrees awarded in the year 2019 alone. These degrees come from 111 institutions thatgrant Engineering Technology degrees [3]. Despite the considerable number of degrees awardedin Engineering Technology disciplines, there is little research conducted on the experiences ofEngineering Technology students.Like Engineering Science degree earners, Engineering Technology students may test forprofessional engineering licensure in 35 states. Although the procedures in testing for a licensemay vary, Engineering Technology graduates may pursue careers as professional engineers
Paper ID #29338CAREER: Actualizing Latent Diversity in Undergraduate EngineeringEducationDr. Allison Godwin, Purdue University at West Lafayette Allison Godwin, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Engineering Education at Purdue University. Her research focuses what factors influence diverse students to choose engineering and stay in engineering through their careers and how different experiences within the practice and culture of engineering fos- ter or hinder belongingness and identity development.

Thedesign criteria with the weight pertaining to their importance are: Impact on other teamchallenges (9), Aesthetics (8), Environmental impact (8), Durability (7), Cost (6),Universalizing/Consistency (5), Physical implementation (5), Communication of change (4), andFluctuating population (3). Each concept was ranked individually on the design criteria using the3-5-7-9 method of evaluation, with 9 being the highest, in order to spread out the results creatinga clear cut decision of the best solution. Concept 3 scored a total of 380 points while Concept 1and Concept 2 scored 350 and 300

The authors employed a qualitative research design,and the primary method of data collection was a self-developed survey instrument consisting of atotal five open-ended questions. The process for developing the survey items consisted ofquestions that sought to examine instructional and pedagogical strategies implemented to teachstudents rigorous engineering concepts based on students’ experiences in the course. As such, thequestions provided students the opportunity to delineate, reflect, and share valuable insight andexperiences that can help develop and refine effective and equitable engineering pedagogy.The data analysis consisted of an open

embedded within our research design.Because engineering education researchers are also educators, the asymmetric relationshipbetween teacher and student can impact the quality of the interview data. For instance, there issomething potentially problematic about having faculty members interview students about thedifficulty they have speaking with faculty. While there may be other methods for facilitatingaccess, having students interview other students enabled us to tap more directly into studentexperiences.1 We also realized, through the course of this pilot study, that we were inviting ourstudent researchers to engage in a practice that was contiguous with a mode of interactionfamiliar to students—talking to friends about the challenges they were
most crucial to request from instructorsbeyond those supported and enforced by the university.A. Lenses This study utilizes several lenses during data synthesis: Universal Design for Learning,ableism, and bottlenecks. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is the practice of designinglearning to be accessible to all (or most) students by removing barriers from the learningenvironment [11]. UDL recognizes that while it is unlikely individual accommodations can beeliminated entirely, application of UDL principles can significantly decrease the need forindividual accommodations. Ableism is a series of structures, norms, and interactions rooted inmarginalizing those with mental, physical, or other perceived differences from the non

were targeted in this study; applying and creating. Forapplying, 3D models were made available that could be viewed on a smartphone using an ARapplication or on a computer. The models were generated for problems that students in previousyears found challenging or expressed difficulty in visualizing. Students were then encouraged touse this model to inform their problem solving. For creating, students were given the opportunityto generate 3D models based on textbook examples, indicate types of stresses and displaydeformed shapes. For both activities, student perceptions, best practices, and lessons learned arenoted. Students were also asked to provide feedback about their experience and the effectivenessof AR models in their learning in class

Results showed that making students aware of STEMcareers by providing knowledge about STEM professions increased their interest in pursuing theirown STEM careers.STEM Outreach and EducationLevine et al.

The campincluded interactions with female science faculty from the sponsoring institution, as well asmeetings with female undergraduate and graduate students.
