Students who value a “good”course grade as a perceived achievement, may therefore internalize these activities as importantbeings and doings.To counter such a perception, the grading scheme shown in Fig. 4(b) was implemented. In thismodel, faculty selected areas relevant to being an engineer and used these to assess across allcourse activities. Each assignment or exam yielded a set of grades as opposed to a single value,that are weighted and contribute to the final grade. In other words, a single homeworkassignment may have aspects of Engagement, Knowledge and Concepts, Engineering Skills,Communication, etc., that are evaluated and weighted, as opposed to contributing solely to a“Homework” category. In implementing this model, all

reconsider the role that spatial skills actuallyplay in training engineers. This paper argues that spatial skills testing and training interventionsare a misuse of the time and energy of people who want to help women and other historicallyexcluded students succeed in engineering. We must reframe our interventions withoutperpetuating deficit models about cognitive abilities like “spatial skills,” a construct which, inspite of its wide popularity in the STEM education community, has been very poorly formulated.References[1] S.

Sue andcolleagues have more recently [11] also offered a framework describing what they term as“microinterventions,” organized into four different types of response to microaggressions: (a)make the invisible visible, (b) disarm the microaggression, (c) educate the perpetrator, and (d)seek external reinforcement or support.The second framework we draw on is that of selective incivilities [12], [13], [14].
