James Clark School ofEngineering at the University of Maryland College Park, this paper aims to identify how place(and the spaces associated with them) intersects with student’s engineering identity in positiveand negative ways with the goal of better understanding how we can alter a place to be safer andmore inclusive.Place as a Mediator of Engineering Ideologies and MindsetsWe argue that place is an important dimension of identity formation and sense of belonging forengineering students.

Although engineers carry these responsibilities, they are reluctant to use formal authority (and it is only rarely available to them). Instead, they rely on informal technical coordination. The aim is to deliver the intended products and utility services with the predicted performance and reliability.”Analogously, students’ framing of an IEL task may involve maintaining an overarchingawareness of the design context and potential solutions, while addressing local subtasks, such asprocuring materials (e.g., cardboard, tape, glue) or testing the functionality of specificcomponents. We contend that when students are framing a complex design task as

It is important to look at how the media shapes Page 23.240.2people’s pictures and perceptions of engineers because those pictures have the potential forbuilding or sustaining a barrier deterring people from entering engineering fields. This study isbroadly situated in Social Identity Theory 5 and then more narrowly focused using Nerd Identity6, 7 as a framework.

And since many STEMmajors come from privileged backgrounds and benefit from promissory innovation imaginaries,these socio-technical imaginaries become the resource pool most STEM students draw from fortheir own imaginations.

The major disadvantages of the SI cycle are the hightemperature required for the decomposition of hydrogen iodide and the corrosiveness of thereactants. However, high temperature nuclear reactor designs will easily allow a temperature ofgreater than 800oC. Though SI cycle has been well studied the process has not yet beendemonstrated by a commercial, and there seems to remain spaces for further improvement toreduce the complex process scheme. In this regard, the predictive simulations are very useful. The purpose of this paper was to examine SI cycle coupled to high temperature gascooled nuclear reactor.
