American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Pilot study: Impact of Social Consciousness on Engineering Design Decision MakingAbstractOne of the tasks of engineering design education is to ensure that students have a strongunderstanding of their customers and environments. They must understand the context of theirdecision-making and how it affects people in diverse communities. This requires students to seehow a design may be biased toward or against a particular population and to develop sensitivityabout issues of race, gender, religion, nationality, age, physical ability, and
convergent and divergent themes. In sum, these methods provided the opportunity to associate and compare the different definitions of success (e.g. graduating with a degree, Kate and Dan’s experiences, and engineering identity scores) with Kate and Dan’s experiences. First, the pilot student’s demographics are presented. Second, Kate and Dan’s grit and engineering identity scores (quantitative measures) are presented. Third, ‘other’ senior engineering students’ engineering identity scores reported in a cross-sectional study are described [15]. Fourth, Kate and Dan’s quantitative and qualitative measures are compared for the convergent and divergent themes. Last, the ways success is understood and seen by Dan and Kate
Foundationsince 2019. The program offers seminar-type lectures supplemented with activities designed to helpgraduate students develop critical skills for research-based careers. The program is focused on graduateengineering students but is open to graduate students from all programs. Students also choose mentorsfrom within and outside the university with the goal of increasing their sense of belonging to the field andtheir identities as research engineers. As part of this program, a pilot study is in progress, aimed atperforming a full-scale network analysis of student interactions. A web-based survey was administered tocollect information about students in and outside the College of Engineering who participate in the GRIDprogram sessions. The survey was

Survey distributionThe survey was emailed by the College of Engineering at our institution to all the undergraduate(and some graduate) students enrolled in engineering courses in the summer 2020 semester. Theinvitation email for the survey was sent at the end of the summer semester, followed by the firstand the second reminders with a gap of four days between each.ResultsThe accuracy of this survey was ensured by getting it reviewed by an external researcher and byconducting a small-scale pilot test before sending it to the engineering population for large-scaletesting.I.

We theorize that findinga new domain with a supporting community – a home – was crucial for their continuation andsuccess in EER.The feeling of homelessness was a central theme observed in the results of an autoethnographyconducted by the third author [6].

Thisdata suggests that topics students spent more hands-on time with resulted in better performance.IntroductionAccording to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, the average person has 10 jobs by the age of 40[1]. This can be seen in Engineering and also reflected in what Engineering graduates are doingfive and ten years post degree[2], [3] . Further, nearly 25% of the Best Performing CEOs startedwith a B.S. in Engineering [4]. Industry continues to ask for more well-rounded competencies ofnew Engineers.

social sciences can and will directly impact their lives, bothas an engineering professional and in the ‘pure’ engineering design work.The last pillar of disengagement is the ideology of meritocracy. Meritocracy is “the belief thatsocial advancement structures in the United States are fair and just“ [11]. While several studieshave documented the impact of implicit bias contributing to a structural environment that is notfair or just, if engineering students are presented with these studies straight forth, the conflictbetween the structural impact of bias and engineering culture’s meritocracy can lead students toreject the studies based on identity-protective cognition [3].

As aresult, we integrated these components of campus culture into our understanding of institutionalclimate to ground our data collection approach and provide a helpful framework for uncoveringways in which institutional climate can impact how a Black HBCU undergraduate engineering orcomputing student navigates their post-graduate planning and decision-making.Identity and SuccessUnderstanding how an institution’s culture and climate support students’ personal identities is

Student participants were still recruited and selected from the target population: transferstudents in Engineering and Computer Science from two of the technical colleges in differentregions of the state. The intention then was that cohort experiences at the technical collegeswould begin August 2020.Fall 2019, six students began the program in the pilot cohort. They had not been together as agroup prior to August 2019 and engaged in the S-STEM program activities without the benefit ofcohort-based learning experiences during their last year at their technical colleges.
