The second model is a newlyinstituted undergraduate minor in “sustainability studies” that is offered in Science andTechnology Studies (STS). This minor is targeted to students across campus and, hence, isdesigned to complement a variety of majors, including engineering majors. The third model is apilot collaboration among three courses, each with a different lens on sustainable design. Thefourth and final model is an effort to

Portfolios are commonlyused in the artistic professions. For example, photographers who specialize in weddings willpresent to the inquiring engaged couple an assembled collection of their work. By constructing aportfolio photographers have the opportunity to reflect upon their work as they select the bestresults from their photographic sessions; similarly, the couple looking to hire someone for theirwedding can use the portfolios to evaluate the ability of each photographer.

The Talking About Leaving Revisited (TALR) study found that women who leftSTEM majors had higher grades than the men while persistence was due to a variety of factors,including “grit to overcome isolation or hostile climates” [8, p. 465]. Early experiences in theirengineering student teams might relate to feelings of hostile climate or building belonging.

Overall, Charlie had shown consistent belief conflicts that have beendocumented in existing literature.

Many engineering universitiesallow undergraduate students to take a hands-on project course during their first year or as a seniorcapstone as part of their degree, in which they work on a team with students from a variety ofbackgrounds to achieve a common goal. During these project courses, the students gain valuableexperience working on teams and presenting their work to reviewers intended to prepare them forcareers post-graduation. These courses are often evaluated through end-of semester surveys andquestionnaires that query their course experience and skills gained. For several years, the first

crucial indicator of institutional quality [1]. Over the past twodecades, time-to-degree for United States (U.S.) bachelor’s degree recipients has noticeablyincreased, resulting in higher education institutions becoming particularly concerned aboutcompletion or graduation rates [2]. Traditionally, the bachelor’s degree is a four-year degree.However, more than 50 percent of bachelor’s students fail to complete their degree on time, thusbecoming extender students. This term refers to students who take longer than four years tocomplete a bachelor’s degree [3], [4]. Given that most undergraduate Science, Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) students take longer to graduate, the four-year degree hastransformed into a six-year degree, raising
