Studies have shown a relation between student’s beliefs about themselvesregarding skills they possess in engineering and their future career decisions.9,10 To measuremotivation, we utilize the MSLQ.11,12 The MSLQ is a robust survey that has been used in varioustypes of learning contexts outside of engineering such as medicine.11 The instrument measuresfive major factors of motivation through self-assessment by the participants.

The SDR is conducted every two to three years and providesdemographic, education, and career history information of a sample of U.S.-trained doctoralscientists and engineers. In many cases, survey respondents completed the SDR survey acrossmultiple time points from when they received their PhD until they reached the age of 75.Therefore, for a subset of the survey respondents, we have

In academics, team-building scavenger hunts can be useful toacquaint students to one another and encourage healthy communication through an enjoyableactivity. Dyrud suggested that a scavenger hunt be used early in a course if the purpose is aimedat building teaming skills1. The process of participating in a scavenger hunt forces individuals tocommunicate their findings to others, encourages creativity, and provides an avenue for teamwork. Scavenger hunts can also be used to teach students or to assess their abilities. Hollar,Dahm, and Harris documented a scavenger hunt to teach lab safety within a short 15-minute timeperiod2. In this

The first is most obvious: the exclusion of those students who, over time, aredeemed not to have what it takes to be an engineer. These students either prove themselveswithout the necessary aptitude or discipline (e.g., poor performance in calculus, physics,chemistry, etc.) or they opt out of engineering willfully when it turns out not to be what theyexpected. The second manifestation of the logic of exclusion is less obvious, involving the waysin which various facets of a student’s identity are

Because I have lookeddeep within myself and assessed my words and actions, I have been able to readily counter thoseclaims.Dr. Kokini: Some of the barriers to individual-level advocacy are bias, culture, and a lack ofunderstanding on the part of the majority on how it feels to be part of an underrepresented group.Dr. Lopresti: Engineers and scientists often behave as though we exist in a perfect meritocracy,and hence we should not have to worry about discrimination or gender equity.
