Paper ID #41460Promoting Diversity in Welding Engineering Technology through the Mediumof ArtDr. Mary Foss, Weber State University Dr. Mary Foss is an Associate Professor in the Department of Manufacturing Systems Engineering. With a background in industry, she saw a disconnect between classroom learning and the real-world experience she needed once joining the workforce in the Aerospace Engineering industry. As a result of her industry experience she incorporates project-based learning throughout her curriculum and service and scholarship interests as a means of developing skills in problem solving, engagement, and
the project, we have limited the results shared to the studentsurveys to protect the identity of the student participants. We plan to continue data collection in futureyears and report on the qualitative data in the future.To assess in part how students experienced our new CURE and M-CURE courses we asked them tocomplete pre and post surveys. The survey content included basic demographic information, studentmindset, and research identity based on the work of Corwin et al. [31]. We shared the surveys with all thestudents participating in the pilot course offerings. Since we had only 5 students in our pilot CURE courseand 2 students in our pilot M-CURE course we do not have statistically significant results, but we havehelpful comments from

“Future Engineer” and beyond. Webelieve that making students aware of this metaphor and designing it both in our curriculum andindividual courses will have benefits. In some way, the metaphor is a model to help studentsachieve grit which is a skill, popularized by Duckworth et. al. [25], that many of us suggest ourstudents need to become successful engineers. 0) Status Quo 1) Call to 11) Resolution Adventure Original World 10) Resurrection 2) Supernatural
