To filter databases and publications from their title to abstract to content, we applied alist of additional criteria, illustrated in Table 1.

Inorder for the US to maintain its global prominence in STEM fields, as well as maintain nationalsecurity and other technological advances, the US must produce over one million more STEMprofessionals than what is currently projected [1]. Broadening participation is a term used todescribe increasing the participation of underrepresented groups in STEM fields [2]. Thisincludes providing exposure, access, and opportunities in STEM for individuals fromunderrepresented groups. According to the National Science Foundation
interdisciplinary pedagogical activities. These major capstone projects span the lastthree sessions of the bachelor's degree, equivalent to a period of 20 months. An interdisciplinarystudent team is formed to create a project from its initial idea to its design. These projectsprovide an advanced and realistic context for engineering practice as they allow students to applyall the skills they have learned during their studies.Pedagogical innovation approachIn this project, the pedagogical innovation approach consists of two complementary components:(1) developing a digital tool to inclusive design in engineering and (2) developing a trainingprogram, consisting of two modules designed to enable the use of the tool in a pedagogicalcontext.Developing the

The suggestion category contained statements that either proposedspecific items to include or noted areas for expansion or improvement. The technical categorywas used for statements that identified typos, broken links, or other technical issues with thecontent.Overall, reviewers felt the content of their assigned page was good, well organized, and wellpresented. As one reviewer noted, “the page was well organized with a manageable number ofresources presented.” The rest of the comments on this question fell into two general categories.Five reviewers felt the resources were not diverse

The scale historically holds acceptable levels of internalconsistency.And finally for stereotype endorsement, a three-item scale was used to measure theextent to which participants endorsed various stereotypes associated with their genderand their STEM domain. Participants answered items an a scale of 1 to 5 and acomposite scale was calculated by averaging the value of each of the three items.Unlike the other scales, verbiage was only worded in one way, such as “In general, menmay be better than women at Engineering.” Therefore, the scores were reverse codedfor women to reflect a self-gender association of the “stereotype endorsement.” Thescale has a historically high internal consistency.Implicit Association
education. In 2019, the NAE issued acall for nominations of policies or programs that are targeted to students from underrepresentedpopulations among incoming first-year full-time students, incoming transfer students (from communitycolleges or other institutions), and/or veterans or other students over the age of 25 who are enteringengineering. The project defines underrepresented populations broadly, including men of color, allwomen, individuals with disabilities, and individuals from other underrepresented or marginalizedpopulations (e.g., first-generation students, LGBTQI individuals, students from low socioeconomic statusbackgrounds, students for whom English is a second language, veterans). A committee of experts named8 of the nominated
undergraduateengineering students and turned these into 10 distinct audio narratives. Our narrative analysis focused onconstructing a cohesive, concise, and anonymized narrative that would present key content from studentinterviews in a format that would preserve some of the immediacy and emotionality of student interviewswhile improving accessibility and coherence for faculty.Findings: In this paper, we present the scripts and link to audio narratives for two student participants: 1)Sophie, a mixed race (Asian and white) white-passing woman, and 2) Enola, an Indigenous woman. Inaddition to presenting the written and audio narrative, we comment on the specific lessons we see asvaluable for engineering faculty that emerge from each of the audio

Academic outcomes are commonlyinstitutional quantitative measures such as GPA, time to graduation, retention, etc. However,within the framework of servingness of an institution, there are additional indicators, includingidentifying the experiences of students and their non-academic outcomes. Some examples ofnon-academic outcomes are academic self
hiring in general, but especially fortechnical assessments, in terms of what will be asked and what format to expect. Of the negativeexperiences students reported after a technical interview the most common concern is thatstudents did not feel prepared [20].Technical interviews are said to be a combination of “the worst aspects of a standard interview,public speaking, a quiz show with a hostile host, and a dinner party full of strangers who aresilently (or not so silently) judging you” [11, p. 2]. Requiring candidates to find a solution, whileverbally walking through the process, is often cognitively taxing, placing stress on candidates toperform in a setting akin to an examination [21, 22]. Additionally, technical interviews arecriticized for

For example,Student 1 also felt that American students were generally more concerned with their ownperformance, whereas their Chinese study group was more focused on the group’s success.Student 1 also described struggling with making American friends because they could notdiscuss aspects of American pop culture, such as Marvel superhero movies.Finally, stereotypes and prejudice also contributed to social isolation. Three participants toldstories of domestic students assuming they were good at math because they were from Asia.Student 3 described prejudice in the school against black students: “I do feel like I am looked down upon by some faculty and some students because of my appearance.

participant completed the telling oftheir story – not always, but usually. The interviewer acknowledged and accepted the story,internalized it, verbally appreciated its value, and recognized that the participant generatedvaluable new knowledge by entrusting them with this story. The story itself was sometimes anSL for another potential story; if so, the interviewer returned to Step (1).We highlight three key aspects of this methodology. One is that there are times when it isimportant for the interviewer to be quiet while the participant is sharing. We generally advisethat interviewers not interrupt participants when they are speaking, gesturing, communicating inother ways, or pausing to assess trust. The participant may be sharing SLs, to which

With stand-alone presentations and panel discussions, 17 industryprofessionals participated in the SBP, ten of whom were Hispanic/Latinx and seven ofwhom were female, two categories of individuals who are underrepresented in engineering[16, 17]. With a high percentage of participants being female (38%) and Hispanic (62%),guest speaker diversity was a program priority, so that SBP participants could understandthat gender and ethnicity should not be a hindrance to becoming successful engineers.Design-related ActivitiesTwo primary experiential learning activities incorporated into the SBP were a short (1-dayonly) engineering challenge and an engineering or technical design project carried out overthe majority of the program.
