Similarly, 43% of the students in theUnited States are of African American, Latino, or Native American descent. Yet of theengineering-related bachelor’s degrees awarded in the United States, less than 15% are awardedto underrepresented minorities.1 By creating an engineering program that more closelyresembles America’s demographics, the alarming gap between genders and ethnicities will beginto close - which will simultaneously increase the number of STEM laborers.

As Stevens explains, this shift towards identifyingas an engineer is often accompanied by changes in disciplinary knowledge, and as a studentnavigates through the education process., For example, a student will likely have a strong senseof engineering identity when they feel that they are able to do tasks they associate with thoseperformed by a successful engineer, are identified as an engineer by their mentors, peers, andfamily, and have passed certain courses and graduated [6].

At times,students can matriculate through classes based on procedural efficiency because they are good at knowinghow to solve different types of problems; yet, they may still not have a good conceptual grasp of thematerial in question even by the time they graduate.
