’ personalities and work habits. To beeffective, he argued that engineering leaders should have strong technical skills, be hands off,resolve conflict using logical reasoning, base personnel assessments on project outcomes, andinteract with engineers as equals. While Mallette’s proposed theory might indeed result ineffective engineering leaders, he did not test it with a group of engineers, nor did he test hisassumption that the majority of engineers are Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Judgers (INTJMyers Briggs personality type). Wyrick similarly characterized engineers as a distinctive group,but he did so based on data he collected over ten years in four engineering management cohortsin the United States and Sweden [11].

It had them think of a solution to provide relief to people affected by a disaster.Youth were asked follow-up questions based on their responses. All interviews were transcribedand coded by the research team. Youth responses to the engineering design challenge were codedto identify the design moves proposed by the youth, the evaluative criteria or constraints that theyouth used to assess the quality of their proposed solution, and the reasoning youth provided, ifany, to justify their design choices.Our session observation protocol focused on observing the degree to which youth were engagedin different activities, the degree to which youth were enacting various engineering

The unit needs to bealigned to the NGSS, connect to real-life engineering problems, use a project-based learningpedagogical approach, and include embedded assessments of student learning. The teachers arealso encouraged to incorporate at least one engineering design challenge. Beginning with the 2014 cohort, Kristen Bergsman designed and facilitated a curriculumdesign workshop to support RET teachers in this task throughout the summer. Originally,teachers met for a weekly curriculum design session focused on the collaborative task ofdeveloping a new science curriculum unit linked to

insights about the culture of engineering degree programs which may be ripe for cultivatingmoments of shame. 10Through the findings, we learn that engineering identity is complex. The study of engineering identity hasbeen an important trend in the literature on engineering marginalization and student experience.12,15Within this work, identity alignment is often discussed as a dimension of students’ experiences, and ameasure in which students can agree or disagree with on a survey. But the assessment of engineeringidentity is typically performed with the underlying assumption that achieving a strong identity will lead topositive outcomes within engineering degree programs (e.g., retention) and

Recentresearch in these disciplines has suggested that these educational norms influence many aspectsof students’ experiences, feelings, and outcomes, including the identities that students form asstudents and as pre-professionals.The influence of Locke and the traditionalist view of education is evident in STEM fields, andengineering departments in particular: STEM subjects are known for support of meritocracy andfor grading practices based primarily on high-stakes assessments [2-4]. Foundational courses --the start of an unforgiving undergraduate workload -- serve to “weed out” students at an earlystage, and typically result in large numbers of D, F and W grades, which often leads students todrop the major [2-3; 5].

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
