We seek agreater understanding of the following: 1) experiences that contribute to international students’ perceivedsense of belonging, and 2) contributors to international students’ perceived quality of interactions with peersand faculty. A qualitative research approach using the critical incident technique with a constructivistperspective was used for this study. The overall results, and in particular understandings about the conceptof ‘sense of belonging’ that emerged from the students’ lived experiences, will provide insights fordeveloping an improved and inclusive institutional support structure for international students within U.S.engineering doctoral education.Sense of belonging Sense of belonging is

One ofthese was conducted in 2012 by Diaz and Cox, who looked at all pre-college engineeringeducation research from 2000-2011 [21]. The review led to about 50 articles, mostly involvingoutreach program settings, and found that studies generally focused on integrating math andscience content in a hands-on activity using the engineering design process.

Itwould seem that the time is ripe for technical education to include an international experience intheir programs as well.Some members of the university community are promoting the idea that all undergraduate degreeprograms must include a required core of foreign language courses. At first light this proposalwould seem to add yet another layer of non-technical requirements on the student with theinevitable result of decreasing the technical content of their degree. Although this proposal mayhave merit, discussions with graduates have indicated that unless this classroom experience in aforeign language is soon followed by an in depth international trip/exchange, the long-termsignificance will be minimal.

They noted that “engineering work istypically project based; therefore, engineering tasks and the required competencies are tied to thelife-cycle of a product, process, or system” [17]. This implies the situated nature of both practiceand on-the-job learning experiences.

Some schools were affiliated withuniversities while others operated within public and state libraries. Only a handful of programsoffered advanced degrees in library science and few library school instructors had advanceddegrees. In 1948, the American Library Association (ALA) passed a resolution calling forlibrarian education at the graduate level only. A few years later, in 1951, new accreditationstandards were established for library schools. During the 1950s and early 60s, the master’s inlibrary science (MLS) became the norm for professional librarians [8].The 1940s also saw improvements to working conditions for academic

Far from using this hypothetical categoryto essentialize “queer” as a personal or organizational identity that reliably modulates “non-queer” technical practice into a genre of technique that educators can systematically describe andreverse-engineer into “improved” technical education, I envision the category as a provocation tothe positionality of queer engineering students as outside-insiders, and to the notion that“queerness

However, these choices could have effects on readers, as the waythe author refers to the participant could influence how the reader relates to the participants, inmore humanizing or dehumanizing ways.

. Nomenclature Before proceeding further, there is an issue of nomenclature to deal with. The newFramework for Science Education does two things to improve terminology. By using the Page 25.359.3phrase “science and engineering practices” it makes clear the importance of inquiry as areflection of what scientists and engineers do, not just inquiry as a pedagogical strategy.Second, it explicitly includes engineering, thereby stressing its importance andtelegraphing that there are some differences between science and engineering. What is lacking, however, in the Standards documents and the field at large, areumbrella terms for science and engineering, and
