However, none of these studies will help faculty members clearly understand howsubtle, but collectively massive, discrepancies construct environments that lead to imbalances.What is required is a culture change where culture is not a static entity, but a continuouslyevolving phenomenon based upon emerging consensus, derived both explicitly and tacitly fromthe people in the culture as they interact with the environment as described by Seel: Organizational culture is an emergent result of continuing negotiations about values, meanings and properties between the members of that organization and with its environment. In other words, culture is the result of all the daily conversations and negotiations between the members of

As womenenter engineering programs in pursuit of degree attainment, they may feel unwelcome, lackprogram support, and encounter negative gender stereotypes. Women of color face additionalchallenges outside of gender such as experiences with prejudice, discrimination, and differencesin cultural values and socialization [3] that may hinder their confidence and effect their pursuit ofan engineering degree [7].Women of color attending predominantly White institutions (PWIs

Advances in the development of computer hardware made largermemory and greater computational capacities possible, allowing CAD systems to migrate frommainframe computers to minicomputers, then workstations, desktops, and laptops. 3D wireframemodels soon followed the 2D capabilities in the late 1960s. Though this was a noticeableimprovement on 2D CAD systems, it lacked many practical attributes such as surfaces ofphysical objects. Hence 3D surface modeling technologies emerged in the early 1970s. Surfacemodels are essentially wireframe models modified by covering their faces, but with the insideempty. Real objects are solids, though some may have cavities.

Thus, Discourse gives students their sense ofself, what they do, and how they must act every day to fit in a particular culture (i.e.,engineering).Discourses are socially situated identities and highly influence the social context in whichknowledge and certain practices materialize. Discourses influence how individuals practice andengage in different activities, including engineering.
