Page 24.964.2As a means of providing better opportunity for students to practice these skills, the ASEEMidwest Section organized a student poster component into its annual Midwest SectionConference. Undergraduate and graduate student authors, most of whom had little conferenceexperience, presented design project posters which emphasized technical accomplishments anddesign lessons learned.

practice, thispaper seeks to provide another vector of connection between the two areas, by explicitlyconsidering how practices originating from gender and sexual diversity may have implicationsfor more “technical” engineering education.Within engineering education, this work builds upon the insights generated by previous scholarsanalyzing the experiences of queer students and faculty in engineering educational contexts. Forexample, Leyva, Massa, and Battey’s 2016 literature review [21] demonstrated how thesocial/technical divide and its resulting division of labor that Wendy Faulkner had previouslyidentified as influential in structuring womens’ experiences [22] similarly affects the experiencesof LGBTQ+ engineers.

Knowledge is understanding how engineering problems arealways socio-technical and shaped by the historical, cultural, economic, and physical dimensionsof a place. Skills are learning to define and solve problems with perspectives different than theirown. Attitudes are the desires to continue engaging other expert and non-expert perspectives,working abroad, and serving communities after graduation.In 2019 a diverse group of engineering undergraduate students from the Colorado School ofMines, United States Air Force Academy, and Universidad Nacional de Colombia - Medellínparticipated in a two-week field session in Colombia, where they visited mine sites andprocessing facilities, in addition to the partner

town. The 3-hour coursesessions were typically facilitated by one or two faculty members, depending on the topic, whilethe seminars functioned more as a collaborative discussion across faculty and students.Two factors related to physical space and course dynamics are also worth noting here. First, onefaculty member works at one of the university’s satellite centers and thus participated in allcourse sessions remotely. Second, while the 1-credit seminar occurred in a room with allparticipants gathered around a long table to facilitate discussion, the 3-credit course was set upwith tables in a U-shape to create dialogue among the students; however, the room was not largeenough for both the faculty and the students to literally sit at the table

demonstrate the ways that these fourthreads are interwoven and interdependent.Research Approach: Systematic, Qualitative AnalysisThe biggest challenge of the research design for this project was the size and diversity of theLEES program in 2018: 13 technical sessions, 46 papers, 5 workshops and panels, and 2distinguished lectures. The complete program appears in Appendix A. The technical sessionsserved as the primary unit of analysis, which made the work more manageable but also requiredreading all of the papers associated with each session to discern each session’s unifying themes. 1 To capture at least some of what transpired in the

country are implementing hands-on activities in the classroom becausethere is evidence that they improve long-term material retention and critical thinking skills[1][2]. A study at Oregon State University found that working in teams gives studentsopportunities to communicate with others, set group expectations, and practice conflict-resolution, all of which are skills that are highly desired in industry [3]. A major goal ofimplementing groupwork into the classroom is to prepare students for teamwork in theengineering workforce, yet students are not learning technical and non-technical skills equally inthese types of classroom settings. Many studies have shown that women frequently take onstereotypically feminine roles, such as being in charge of
our mentoring sessions, Dr. Kent revised her “Writing Assignment” toinclude writing-to-learn exercises and multiple drafts with feedback from instructor and peers,and she designed a mechanism – an internal blog site – so that part of the students’ assignmentwas to explore and evaluate all of their peers’ writing. Thus, her assignment not only fit writing-as-process pedagogy, but was inherently social in that the students would see and learn from oneanother’s work. This effort was no small task, as she was redesigning her writing assignment asscaffolded and process-based while the course was in progress.

engineering work is organized. Among the mindsets Riley outlines are: (1) Positivist epistemology / Myth of Objectivity, (2) Commitment to Problem Solving / Reductionism, and (3) Narrow Technical Focus / Lack of Other Skills. Thus, engineering is seen as mainly concerned with technical knowledge (as opposed to teamwork and collaboration), combined with epistemological orientations towards reductionist, positivist thinking, where mathematics and data-driven arguments are seen as superior to arguments based in more expansive thinking about society and values. Riley also notes the centrality of military and private profit-driven organizations within engineering work that tends

]. Numerous blue-ribbon reports and recommendations fromengineering professional societies have made calls to name and develop the skills engineers needfor success in their careers. For example, in The Engineer of 2020, the National Academy ofEngineering (NAE) asserts that engineering graduates will need skills such as practicalingenuity, high ethical standards, strong communication, and leadership [1-2]. Further, in their“Vision 2030”, the American Society of Mechanical Engineering (ASME) reports that engineersneed to develop more innovation and creativity, a higher standard of professional skills, andmore practice-based engineering experiences [3]. Beyond the technical knowledge required toaddress these complex problems, the American Society of
