withmicrocontrollers does not mean that students will respond positively. Instructors used the “buzz”about the Arduino to motivate students, by indicating that the students were using a new andpopular technology. Instructor observations of student reaction showed that students were notuniversally inspired by or interested in the technology. This makes sense because the definitionof “cool” is not uniform for engineering students. Assessment was performed with an end-of-term survey of student attitudes toward thecourse and how it affected their career plans. Students were asked whether the use of theArduino platform changed their attitude toward computer programming and electromechanicalsystems. The complete survey is included in Appendix B.

…:” Making Meanings of Being a Woman in EngineeringAbstractEngineering is often described as one of the last bastions of a macho culture where womencontinue to experience minority status. In this article we ask, how do women make meaning ofthis status? We explore this question in the context of students‟ socialization into the professionover the course of their engineering education. Drawn from diary data, our findings show thatyoung women hold multiple and contradictory perspectives about their status as women inengineering. The strands of these perspectives are articulated around (a) a feminist critique, (b)gender essentialism, (3) meritocracy and individualism, and (d) exceptionalism. These findingssuggest that their taken-for-granted assumptions
