Within our design curriculum, teams obtain feedback from their faculty advisor(on written and presented work) and peers (on presented work) at two points each semester: fiveweeks into the semester in a classroom presentation and at the end-of-semester poster session.Their peers are generally hesitant to offer comments during the classroom presentation, and theposter session comes too late to be useful.

Each data pointbeginning and end of semester IAT represents one student.bias scores were weakly negativelycorrelated, suggesting that some students who were implicitly biased toward engineering at thebeginning of the semester became less so.Paired t-test was used to determine if students’ career self-concepts changed over the course of asemester. Indeed, students’ implicit career self-concepts changed by an average of 0.1 ± 0.04(p=0.009 two-sided). In contrast, explicit career self-concept remained unchanged (0.03 ± 0.03,p=0.353). To put this on a more intuitive scale, the above change of 0.1 in the implicit measureis comparable to a change of 1 on the explicitly declared interest in engineering or clinical work.First-generation status

Consequently, the transition between college andone’s first job can be difficult for many graduates [4]. This causes many to seek jobs outside ofthe engineering profession altogether; according to one study, only one-third of engineeringgraduates seek jobs in an engineering field [5].
