Stage 2 - Societal forces and culture clashes produce problems for individuals. The in-school and broader American culture is such that girls likely grew up with less computer and technology access than boys, at home and in informal learning settings24. This is not their fault and their background is just as valid as the men in the class. But women were notably struggling in this class, though not all women were struggling, and not all struggling students were women. Still their womanhood must be playing a role in this traditionally masculine field, and putting

Undeniably, the study of macroethics is significantly different from topics thatmight emerge in a more conventional engineering ethics course and requires new content andpedagogy. Where microethics problems can sometimes be handled methodically like anengineering design process, macroethics cases cannot always be unraveled as neatly. As arduousas macroethics cases may be, they underlie engineering work and consequently students shouldbe exposed to them.8It is anticipated that the information collected with this

Twofaculty raters are initially assigned to score the rubric and an arbitrator is assigned to mediate anypotential disputes on scoring where the raters cold not agree on a consensus score. To score thetranscript, each rater first re-familiarizes themselves with the scoring rules of the rubric thenannotates relevant passages in the transcript with flags corresponding to
