. 4CIP codes generally apply to all levels of certificates and degrees. So, this is an issue forthe CIP code used to describe some ET programs like Mechanical ET and Electrical ET.The two-digit designation used for ET programs is 15.XX, defined in the CIP as“Engineering/Engineering-Related Technologies/Technicians”. So, this classificationgroups the 2-yr Associate and the 4-yr Bachelor degree together. The classification alsomay include the programs that have less engineering and more management courses intheir curriculum. The corresponding SOC Crosswalk code is (17-3020) “EngineeringTechnologists and Technicians, Except Drafters”.For example, the CIP for Mechanical Engineering Technology programs that mostinstitutions use for reporting is (15

We consider the need for more research onworkplace practices that frame and stratify early-career engineers’ experiences, and moretranslation of those findings to day-to-day “toolkits” for new engineers.1. IntroductionEngineering students, especially those without internship, co-op, or industry job experience buteven those with that experience, may have limited knowledge about workplace procedureinvolving management, reporting, and advancement. Brunhaver et al.’s [1] findings suggest thatfew recent engineering graduates report having knowledge of organizational practices at thepoint of

She received her PhD in Engineering Education and MS in Aerospace Engineering from Purdue University, and BE in Aeronautical Engineering from Punjab Engineering College. Her scholarship is motivated by the fundamental question of how engineering and technology can support people in living well in an increasingly engineered world. Her research focuses on affordances of technology, humanis- tic design, and engineering epistemology to promote purpose and connection in engineering education. In her work, she partners with students and educators (middle school to undergraduate), youth and their families, community organizations, artisans

awayfrom this dynamic and empower students to name and challenge the oppression they face, theauthors of this paper collaborated to create and carry out the Justice, Equity, Diversity, andInclusion (JEDI) Ambassador Program (or "JEDI" for short). JEDI is a co-curricular programthat employs undergraduate engineering students, called "JEDIs", to engage in diversity, equity,and inclusion (DEI) projects across the domains of education research, K-12 outreach, andstudent programming with the guidance of a graduate student or university support staff mentor.JEDI was designed as a liberatory space for participants to bring their whole selves,collaboratively explore ideas, and take action against inequities they observed or experienced.The attempted

ideologies reinforce one another, and are deeply ingrained in the culture ofengineering education and contribute to the reproduction of inequalities within engineering [20],[21]. Meritocracy and depoliticization are upheld not just by institutions and departments, but byfaculty and staff making transformational change in graduated education hard. To effectively create transformational change in graduate education, systems-levelchanges are needed. Unfortunately, lasting reform in graduate education is challenging for thereasons noted above as well as others. For one, some graduate engineering programs are decadesold and include systems that were designed intentionally to withstand sudden changes [22].Overcoming such challenges requires

They contributed to the paper by offeringfeedback on the research design, methodology and interpretation of the findings. Additionally,they assisted the lead researcher in situating the research findings within an STEM highereducation and entrepreneurial programming context.

One limitation is that
more systematic inquiry into the rest of the data and other coursecomponents. Additionally, we hope that some of the findings in this paper might provide insightinto our course design (specifically the design of the weekly reflections), student thinking, andpotential future directions for both research and practice.

In doing so, she recognized a difference between the type of citizen participationthat the program sought via means that favored middle- and upper-strata groups and local actionthat seeks “to develop a class consciousness and critical analysis of capitalism …, to work outmethods of self-management in associations or groups where leadership is shared rather thanhierarchical and elitist …, and to develop a strategy that

Women inengineering encounter discrimination and difficulties cultivating a sense of belonging.Additionally, balancing family and an engineering career can also be a challenge. Whenconsidering possible STEM majors, women may avoid fields like engineering because of theirbelief that the climate is one that is discriminatory towards women.[8], [10], [11][13].Websites and outreach programs designed for young women often recognize they must confrontwomen’s negative perceptions of engineering [14], [15]. Scholars such as Sapna Cheryan andcolleagues have argued for the need for new messages to persuade women to consider fields suchas
