a tremendous example of how to teach andwork in an explicitly anti-domination, liberatory, way.Engineering is often described as “creative problem-solving,” though opportunities for divergentthinking and autonomous choice are limited during engineering education. According to Daly, etal., “In engineering, the word ‘creativity’ may evoke discomfort because it seems subjective andambiguous” [65]. Even studies and proposals to enhance engineers’ creativity often frame linear,methodical approaches, with clear steps and rubrics for assessment. Kazerounian and Foley [66]found that engineering students perceived their instructors not to value creativity, while theinstructors reported that they did value it, but found it lacking in their students

There were many factors that could have contributed to the differences in engagement:for one thing the completion of these exercises impacted the student’s grade directly whilereadings were assessed through a short quiz which did not directly ask about the interactivevisualizations.Much like the textbook visualizations, students used the exercises as a resource to refer back to.However, while students did say they referred back to these exercises if asked, this strategy wasbrought up less by students outside of the direct question.

Institutions should not evaluate the STEM climate collectively but look at all STEM fields independently. Assessment of structures and processes at the department level (e.g., programs, hiring practices, etc.) can provide a baseline for each STEM department of which to build upon instead of a broad overall picture. o Offer lucrative incentives to attract females to underrepresented departments.
