The surveyaims to address the following questions:•   What are the factors that affect why women and minorities choose to pursue education in civil engineering?•   What aspects of the civil engineering curriculum and course work do students find particularly motivating and interesting? Do students feel that they have a mentor? What kind of work experience and internships have students had? Are they members of student/professional engineering organizations? Do the answers to this question depend on the gender or ethnic/racial

investigation allows us to understand howstudents that may be traditionally marginalized in STEM can be supported. We postulate that thisframework has the potential to add value to the curriculum instruction of secondary and post-secondary students and may attract more students in engineering and, broadly, STEM. Byunderstanding current practices with this approach, we can move towards implementing morefunds of knowledge approaches to teaching and learning engineering. In addition, by connectingstudent’s lived experiences and household funds to discipline-specific contexts (i.e., math, scienceand engineering) students may be able to strengthen their beliefs that they can be math, scienceand engineering people.2.

Unpacking Latent DiversityThis theory paper explores how diversity apart from social identities like race and gender is framedin the engineering education literature and how these concepts promote a different but compatibleapproach to understanding diversity—latent diversity. Latent diversity is a new approach todiversity work that captures underlying affective and cognitive differences that provide potentialsources for innovation but are not visible. This approach does not examine other non-visible socialidentities like sexual orientation, first-generation status, socioeconomic status, etc. Prior literaturesuggests that diversity in approaches, problem solving, and ways of thinking improve innovationin engineering design more reliably than does

Leadership Skill Development in Engineering EducationThere is a growing consensus on the importance of leadership skills in engineering practice andeducation in the US and worldwide1. From the viewpoint of Bonasso (2001), the focus on technicalskills can overlook the value of an engineering education as a foundation for becoming a successfulleader in many activities that benefit society2.In “The Engineer of 2020.

. Additionally, males identifiedengineering as a way of doing things hands-on and cited doing hands-on activities and jobsecurity as the primary reasons for being an engineer. In contrast, females were more likely toidentify with engineering as a way of thinking and cite creativity of the practice as a primaryreason for being an engineer. Tate and Linn viewed gender identity more holistically in how it and race shape identityof engineering women students of color.55 This integrated approach is aligned with the multipleidentities framework; Gee defines identity as “being recognized as a certain type of person”.10This person’s single identity is defined by the interaction and intersection of four differentidentities: nature identity, institutional

Their ‘belonging’ construct measured students’ perception of belonging as well astheir identification with the engineering curriculum and engineering career opportunities.Research on underrepresented students’ persistence in STEM overwhelmingly indicates thatsocial and interpersonal factors, more than other factors such as academic preparation andperformance, impact underrepresented STEM students’ persistence [3], [6], [32]-[35].
