Through the narrative, wehighlight the conversations that happened as the educator reflected on the work in her classroomwith the two other authors. The conversation themes highlighted include the motivation fortrying this new activity, concerns throughout the quarter about student response rates, and twocases that surfaced issues of inclusion, prompting further discussion.After recounting this narrative, we dive into a discussion on how the engineering

These tenets appealed to the founding faculty of the E-Lead Programand several approaches were taken to intentionally embed a similar culture that fit UTEP.First, UTEP involved students in the earliest workshops focused on the development of programand curriculum. This created an early sense of student ownership and involvement. Clearevidence for creation of this culture of student partnership and ownership was seen when the firstcohort of E-Lead students proposed that they design and implement the Introduction toEngineering Leadership class that all new students take in their first semester. This class is thefirst interaction new students have with the program, and creating activities and

thinking can be uncomfortable for both student and instructor, but it often leads tosubstantial creative content in a project. As noted in Sheppard et al (1997) in describing thefreshman engineering design and product design program at Stanford, one of the instructors(Faste) noted: “some of the best ideas were initially labeled ‘stupid’.”9 There is a clear need tocreate a classroom environment that encourages divergent thinking and permits new ideas to beexplored.There are numerous examples of cornerstone (freshman/sophomore) design classes inengineering programs. Three examples highlight some of the characteristics needed to provide anengaging engineering experience for freshman students. As part of a curriculum overhaul, MITimplemented CDIO
discussionforum was established for each case study, whereby every student contributed an originaldiscussion thread and engaged in at least two responses to a peer's contribution. In addition,students were actively encouraged to engage in questioning and responding within the discussionand not just limited to their particular case study.The outcomes of this new pedagogical approach have been remarkably positive. The onlineformat promoted increased interaction, richer and more profound discussions, higherparticipation rates, and well-thought-out responses. Students benefited from extended reflectionand research time compared to traditional in-class presentations, resulting in a morecomprehensive understanding of engineering ethics. This innovative method
againstpotential re-identification within the data, moves away from dismissing small samples as ananomaly, and refrains from essentializing diverse groups of individuals. This methodologicalapproach to understand diversity in engineering education is not a panacea for all methodologicalissues. Rather, this approach provides a new way of examining multiple affective and cognitivedimensions at once to understand how an individual experiences engineering.How TDA Has Been Used in Prior LiteratureTDA is an advanced statistical clustering technique that examines the topology, or the landscape,of the data to find common, dense areas in the dataset.
