member within the department. I: Once you started teaching full-time in Spring/Fall, how was it determined what you’d be teaching and did you have the resources you needed to teach those courses? P: The first couple of semesters I was full time were annoying because I was treated as a Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA), even though I wasn’t. My hiring was done through the GTA program coordinator rather than being hired by the department chair like the other lecturers. During that time I was also teaching an intro-level class which is a class that is exclusively taught by GTAs. It was very second-class for a while. After I started teaching more regular, required classes in the Fall

Necessity of Canon 8 LanguageThe authors of Canon 8 developed and presented case studies to the ASCE board to illustrate theway the language of the canon and its specific guiding principles shape its application. Theopening paragraph of Canon 8 specifies the dimensions of identity under the purview of themandate. Furthermore, the three guiding principles (e.g. A-C) operationalize the way Canon 8can be applied. One case study presented below, illustrated the way guiding principle "C" isoperationalized through the experience of an ASCE member whose disability was overlooked inthe design of a parking lot. The member’s experience shows the way that the necessity of fairtreatment of all people goes beyond discriminatory interactions and extends to

This lens is a theoretical framework developed by sociologist EduardoBonilla-Silva called “color-blind racism,” and comprises 4 frames: abstract liberalism, culturalracism, naturalization, and minimization of racism. Because the author team sees great value inunderstanding how cultural values and practices associated with a US experience of Whitenesshave been built into U.S. engineering education, we offer here an articulation of these frames,and illustrate each frame through a curated set of stories drawn from our experiences as K-12students, as undergraduate engineering students, and as engineering faculty at PredominantlyWhite Institutions

First, we describe the methods for selecting andcategorizing identity studies. Second, we present the use of identity in theory and practice byfield including working definitions of identity. Next, we summarize how identity is measured inSTEM including details on quantitative and qualitative studies. We then summarize the findingsof identity studies; specifically what factors and characteristics predict identity and what identitypredicts.

The most typical data collection tool usedwas interviews in multiple forms—including semi-structured, one on one, and focus groups.Similarly, open-ended surveys were also used as a form of collecting qualitative participantresponses. Some unique forms of data sources were online blogs (Jafer, 2015), online forumposts and emails (Blaser, Steele, & Burgstahler, 2015), student artifacts (Gray et al., 2016), panelproceedings (Genalo et al., 2015), and reflective journals (Brewer et al., 2015).

At the time, many educatorswelcomed this increasing emphasis on teamwork not only as preparation for workplace but alsoas a way to increase the participation of women and minorities in engineering (Brown, 2001;Ettenheim et al., 2000; Rosser, 1995; Teague, 1995).
