Paper ID #18517Unpacking Latent DiversityDr. Allison Godwin, Purdue University, West Lafayette (College of Engineering) 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 foster or hinder belongingness and identity development. Dr. Godwin graduated from Clemson University with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and Ph.D. in Engineering and Science Education. She is the recipient

, hiring committees and faculty mentors follow this implicit model of astraightforward academic pathway to the detriment of a diverse professoriate. We address thisby presenting an alternate model that better reflects alternate pathways that currently exist andcould be better encouraged and supported through infrastructure and social means.A Traditional Model of a Faculty CareerA traditional engineering faculty career moves from high school, to a bachelors degree, to a PhDprogram and then into a tenure track position, followed by promotions to associate and fullprofessor and then eventually a happy retirement, perhaps with an emeritus position to maintainan active mind until death. This is shown in Figure 2. In attempting to follow the

specific operationalizations of diversity or research methods. These yearswere selected because they coincide with the Year of ACTION in Diversity declared by ASEEand subsequent creation of the Best Diversity Paper Award. 3.1. Data CollectionOur sample is comprised of conference publications from the years 2015 and 2016 that fell intothree publication categories. In addition to focusing on publications nominated for the BestDiversity Paper Award, we focused on publications from the Minority in Engineering Division(MIND) and Women in Engineering Division (WIED). We selected MIND and WIED based ontheir long-standing commitment to diversity. This decision was also informed by thedichotomous approach to broadening participation (i.e., emphasizing
