Similar to the BME example, an engineering identity that values both social andtechnical dimensions presents more values and premises with which individuals can identify thusleading to more “whole-minded engineers.”Research & Development PlanThis NSF-funded RFE study utilizes a design thinking approach to develop solution(s) thataddress our three interrelated objectives: to better prepare engineers for today’s workforce, tobroaden understandings of engineering practice as both social and technical, and to createand sustain more diverse and inclusionary engineering programs.

Interestingly, like knowledge, there are no differences in mindset between LTS and NoLTS. Mindset is thought to be central to learning outcomes. Growth mindset people tend to relishchallenges, fixed mindset people get easily discouraged by challenges. It appears engineeringbenefits from having a healthy majority of growth mindset students, this maybe a prerequisite innavigating the academic obstacles to becoming an engineering student in the first place.

course load, studentsmainly used words associated with feeling scared. Meanwhile, the interpersonal contexts ofengineering, which vary across students, such as academic peers, professors, and women inSTEM, evoke a wide variety of emotions within and across students, with words emerging acrossthe emotion categories of angry, confident, happy, loved, and scared. The most salient emotiongroups that emerged during our interviews across contexts were confident, happy, and scared.Our results indicate that navigating engineering is inherently emotional across a variety ofstudents and in a variety of contexts. With that in mind, one recommendation we have formaking student support more responsive is anticipating and responding to the emotional needs

This survey, which is the first of its kind tobe launched on a national scale, measures 28 NCA factors that may contribute to student successincluding personality, grit, identity, mindset, motivation, stress, gratitude, mindfulness, andbelongingness. Many engineering and computing students have strong incoming academicrecords and standardized test scores that indicate potential for success in their programs;nonetheless, many struggle when they reach university. Cognitive measures like SAT/ACT areweak predictors of academic success, and NCA measures may form the constellation ofcharacteristics that offer further predictive power. In this

However, oureducation has not kept pace with this evolution, especially at the K-12 level. In fact, there is acrucial need to bring cyberinfrastructure (CI) learning experiences into classrooms of secondaryeducation.Environmental sustainability has become increasingly prevalent in teaching
