]. Addressing systemicinequities can be challenging in any profession, but particularly so when members are socializedto think of themselves as free agents, unencumbered by social structures [2,3]. Our paperexamines the prevalence of agentic and structural explanations of career mobility among 952Canadian engineers who responded to a national engineering career path survey. We found that49.3% of racialized men, 71.6% of white women, 75.6% of racialized women and 68.0% ofLGBTQ2SI+1 engineers, compared to only 26.3% of white men, believed their social locationhad impacted their careers suggesting that individuals who are relatively under-represented in theengineering profession are more inclined to view their social location as a non-neutral feature

This presents opportunity for theprofession, but also demands a sense of resilience from those working in engineering, who mustdevise complex sociotechnical solutions and combat rampant politicization in the space.This paper describes the process of surveying 200 undergraduate engineering students at a large,public research institution in Canada. The CAS was adapted for this survey, with additionalqualitative questions added to understand the student experience with sustainability curriculumand their ideas about pursuing careers in sustainability. In short, we wanted to understand theincidence of climate

The study intends to investigate whetherthe videos can improve students’ understanding of the realities of early career engineering andcan promote their ability to visualize their future professional selves. The study includes a pre-survey, video viewing, a post-survey, and semi-structured interviews with some of theparticipants. This paper presents some data from the post-survey.This paper focuses on the impact of the video series as a means of communication from thealumni speakers to the student viewers. The paper presents scholarship on the use of videos ineducation and other fields. As a medium, the video series can convey representational rolemodeling as it delivers content.

Unfortunately, that attention is currently monopolized by the scandalaround FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, EA’s highest-profile champion. At first glance, EAappears broadly consonant with broad trends in engineering education dedicated to applyingengineering work toward global human problems. Indeed, “EA for Engineers” seems

identity has changedthroughout the years, based on my academic experience and societal impact. My first exposure to the engineering profession was through a close relative, who worked as anengineering technologist for a small consulting firm. My initial impression of their work was thatthey mainly worked individually, performing calculations and creating technical drawings. Iinitially did not want to be an engineer, based on my lack of interest in architectural drawingsand external pressures to choose a more “feminine” profession, like teaching or nursing. A visitto the local university for their yearly Women in Engineering Day introduced me to differentsides of engineering, which drew me to a career in electrical engineering. At the time, my

In fact, the affordance of narrative control was asurprising by-product of this decision, and one which the lead authors did not feel entirelycomfortable with, especially early in the process. Jacque and Morgan often remarked that the actof synthesizing highly personal experiences of their co-authors was challenging, as they did notwish to overinterpret or misrepresent the experiences of others in service of the narrative.

PathwaysEngineering education is typically described using a “pipeline” metaphor, wherein students are shuffledalong pre-determined pathways toward a narrow set of career outcomes. However, several decades ofresearch have shown that this pipeline model does not accurately describe engineering trajectories andmay exclude students who enter the pipeline at different times and have other career outcomes in mind.Similarly, qualitative studies have shown that normative identities in engineering feature masculinestereotypes such as “geeks” and “nerds” that reproduce technical/social dichotomies. Several studies havesuggested that broadening the expected outcomes and identities in engineering to include “alternative”pathways and identities may contribute to a shift

This is fraught territory,grounded in an academic reward system that prioritizes individual performance. Persistent surveysof STEM trainees struggling with mental health [1], [2] highlight a culture of control linked tomeritocratic systems that can prioritize PI career advancement over the well-being of lab members.This culture is increasingly being challenged, by both trainees and mentors.

Further demonstrating the necessity ofsociotechnical education, Riley and Sciarra’s case study demonstrates that women inengineering education can benefit from opportunities to grapple with historical legacies relevantto their own experiences and career aims.In this paper, we analyze film representations of the École massacre from the early documentaryAfter the Montréal Massacre (Rogers 1990) to Denis Villeneuve’s 2009 feature dramatizationPolytechnique. We do not find that filmmakers over time have arrived at more comprehensiveaccounts of the tragedy or keener diagnoses of its causes. Instead, each telling becomes furtherremoved from the initial feminist understanding of the events

Sociotechnicalthinking is inherently complex, and while many engineering educators regard it as a critical skill,relatively little is understood about the learning experiences and processes needed to promotesociotechnical thinking. The purpose of this paper is to synthesize the literature on cognitivedevelopment and sociotechnical design theories and to envision a research area related to studentsand professional development of sociotechnical thinking in engineering design.

Communication is widely misunderstood, and while this is perhaps especially truein STEM disciplines, STEM is not alone in their misconceptions. Outside of CommunicationStudies, Interpersonal Communication (IPC) tends to be treated as a personality trait (Okoro,Washington, & Thomas, 2017; Pert, 2019), and on popular career websites and in professionalcontexts alike, is most often defined in terms of “people skills,” “personal skills” (Doyle, 2021),or even “friendliness” (Indeed, 2021). IPC is also frequently discussed as a set of traits that areinherent to a person.However, the role of IPC in everyday professional communication is much deeper and morecomplex than cordiality; it is essential to functionality and effectiveness across disciplines
