Additionally, as vacancies increase, so too does the need for studentswith graduate degrees (master’s and doctoral level) in the field [4]. However, in the United States(U.S.) participation in graduate schools is more commonly from international students. Accordingto the survey by the Computing Research Association in 2019, almost 70% of the master’s degreesin computer sciences and 80% in engineering were awarded to international students [5].Meanwhile, 62% of the Ph.D.’s in computer sciences were awarded to international students,followed by 67% in engineering [5]. Yet, participation of domestic students pursuing graduatedegrees in computing is less than 30% in the
implementation of an infrastructure within an unfamiliarcommunity, whether domestic or international, requires not only an understanding of technicalconcepts and constraints, but also the non-technical factors such as global context, powerdynamics, and culture[2]. This research seeks to demonstrate that community organizing projectsare comparable to engineering service learning projects in that they both involve engaging acommunity towards a common objective, even if it may be a social, political, or environmentalobjective in lieu of infrastructure. The platform of collaboration between the engineering teamand the client community must be built on trust and communication[3]. Without this platform,projects stand little chance of meeting the client

Thus, during a departmental faculty meeting two senior professors were selected forhelping the students with technical issues; one professor in the area of thermo-fluidics and the other inmaterials, machine tools and manufacturing. Each one was given one and half (1.5) credit hours of releasetime per semester for mentoring the undergraduate students with their specific technical problems, suchas technical projects and their oral presentations, preparing them for job interviews, writing technicalpapers for publication in journals and conference proceedings, etc. Both the professors maintained awritten document like a log-book or field notes for each mentoring session.

technical and non-technical (i.e. social,economic, cultural, political, etc.) factors that are simultaneously connected with one another [1].In order for engineering students to be prepared to solve the challenges and problems in aconstantly changing world, they must learn how to think in a sociotechnical way [2, 3].However, current engineering curricula fail to prepare students to problem solve in this mannerand instead mainly focus on the technical content [4-6].One area that is suitable for a sociotechnical approach is energy education. Energy inengineering education is usually taught in foundational courses, such as Thermodynamics orCircuits, where problem solving is narrowly structured around the technical aspects [7, 8].

Methods3.1 Course overview and study design At the University of Pittsburgh, a course entitled “Controlled Drug Delivery” is offered as a cross-discipline (bioengineering and chemical engineering), upper-division elective for undergraduate students, and an engineering elective for bioengineering graduate students. Upon completing the course, the student should be able to (1) state the constraints on material properties posed by the physiological environment; (2) use the fundamentals of polymers, diffusion, degradation, modeling and pharmacokinetics to solve problems specific to controlled drug delivery; and (3) demonstrate ability to search and summarize
curricula effectively. Mentorship programs can rely on this basestructure to give students the options and resources to find a mentor that is best suited for theiracademic and research needs.References[1] D.

The data set is from two semestersof a team-based, project-based introductory engineering course with a total of 118 studentresponses analyzed (N = 118).Introduction and MotivationThere are many examples in the engineering education literature of teamwork being particularlyfraught for women. Specifically, women sometimes end up completing less technical work andmore project management work [1, 2, 3]; they are sometimes spoken over in conversations [4, 5];and they are sometimes evaluated by themselves and their peers according to different standardsthan their peers who are men [6, 7, 8, 9]. All these examples led us to examine how

Next, theteam researched each topic through the lens of planners, designers, and builders by seeking outproject case studies and stories of notable individuals in the repositories of professionalorganizations, other academic institutions, firms, and individual practitioners or researchers.Ultimately, the student team selected a minimum of three resources on each DEI topic rangingfrom introductory material to case studies. The time to investigate and thoughtfully select pre-workshop materials for each session was around 3 hours. These resources were

While the survey answers brought up numbers and statistics,interviews are required to get more in-depth understanding and reasoning behind the answers inthe survey. Thus, the interview questions are more open-ended questions to allow respondents tobring new perspectives into the analysis (Appendix B).

have a window into someone's struggles, you can't help, but internalize some of those struggles yourself and that's what motivates you to keep doing your research and to seek solutions. But it also weighs on you because you're not just living your own life, you're kind of living the struggles of the people you're working with. As shown in Participant 2’s narrative, internalizing the struggles of community memberscan also be a source of motivation towards doing relevant engineering. Thus, Participant 2 seesthe public’s challenges first-hand and empathizes with them, although psychologists have madethe case that such emotional empathy can be a poor guide for decision making (Bloom, 2017).Participant 3 also

[2]. It was found thatself-efficacy was largely shaped by mastery and vicarious experiences, in which either thesubjects themselves mastered a task or encountered someone else mastering a task. The beliefswere also shaped by social persuasions, where interactions with teammates, professors, andteaching assistants could all influence how a student viewed their abilities [3].Historically, engineering has been a field predominantly filled with men. This has shaped a lot ofpublic perception of engineering as a male space and field, and can lead to women in engineeringhaving very different perceptions than their male counterparts. Research has consistently shownthat female engineering students entering college often have lower confidence in
