Even in current day UnitedStates, professions like structural engineering have fewer female and minority industry leadersthan those that are White Caucasian male [1], and the same follows for academics in this field.As a result, many faculty members have limited exposure to the notable published works,projects, and other contributions of under-represented individuals to share with students.Historically, entry to professions in the built environment have been riddled by barriers due togender, race, and class. This continues to negatively affect not only the number of women andminority students who choose to

During class, students were given a briefexplanation of California’s Cap and Trade Policy. They then played a game to simulate the openmarket of allowances and see where emissions improvements were and were not made. Studentswere then asked what changes could be made to the game (and, by extension, to the Cap-and-Trade Policy) to encourage equity.The senior Capstone class experienced a broader inclusion of social justice in their classcurriculum. From the start of the quarter, students were told they would need to include a socialjustice analysis as part of their Capstone project report. This analysis was required to includemeans

Other professors preferred to wait a semester before committing to funding him.Since Adam was familiar with the tools and technology involved in the research, he felt theopportunity was a good fit, and he joined the research team.Adam’s dissertation involved the design of an energy harvester for bridge vibration sensors. Hesaid the challenge was to find a way to power sensors located in hard to reach places. Adam wasexcited about traveling to apply the technology to a particular bridge.Interpreting the Case through the CoCPIt was clear that the domain-relevant skills required for Adam’s graduate research were solid.Adam selected his advisor

We investigated three key aspects ofgraduate school, particularly experiences with 1) work-life-balance, 2) imposter syndrome, and3) burnout. To develop the survey and interview instruments, we developed a pool of memes andgraduate student oriented advice columns then used thematic analysis to identify 9 thematicquestions about the graduate student experience. For this work, the data set was abbreviated toconsider only the 3 most salient topics. We found that students generally disagreed with thenegative themes identified and that memes tended to exaggerate these features of graduatestudent experience.
