They want to make an impactand give back to the university where they got their start.Recommendations for moving forward included the following: 1. Updating the mission of the committee. 2. Before undertaking an initiative, the committee should a. Ensure the initiative leverages the unique strengths and expertise of the committee members. b. Determine what success would look like and/or how to measure success in terms of the impact on women students and/or graduates in/of the university. c. Focus only on initiatives that have a measurable impact. 3. Continue the

aspects American society and institutions, including educational experiences [14]. By examining the impacts of racialized society on educational outcomes and disparities, CRT offers a framework to understanding overt and covert manifestations of inequity through interrogating the values, policies, and results of the institution of note. Within education policy and structures, race-based solutions must be present to expand counternarratives and center equity. Intersectionality and Social Cognitive Career theory are applied with the context of CRT to unpack the experiences ofWomen in a College of Engineering and Computing at a southeast based minority serving institution.

After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Public Affairs from a women’s college where she learned first-hand the value of a female-centric support network, Kathy made her way to Silicon Valley. There she studied CMOS Mask Layout Design which eventually led her to a position in IT for a semiconductor IP start-up

After the interview, a third party transcribed the interview, removed anyidentifiers in the transcript, and destroyed the video recording files.ResultsFifty undergraduate engineering students were surveyed in the study. Descriptive statistics of theparticipating students are presented in Table 1. While students were given nonbinary choices whenasked for their gender identity, very few identified outside of the male and female categories,and so results given here are for those two groups (referred to as men and women, respectively,here).The majority of men and women sampled entered college with no

The double standard forced WOC to adapt to an unwelcome environment and createsystems around them for their own success that are not provided by the engineering educationenvironment. This study opens the discussion for ways engineering colleges can better supportWOC students through programs and initiatives that seek to understand and celebrate the uniqueexperiences of WOC in engineering.ReferencesCarlone, H.

Previous researchers [4]–[7] have identified four predominant factors, (a) awareness, (b)emotions, (c) self-efficacy, and (d) self- advocacy, for how individuals recognize, react to, andrespond to situational HC. However, there is limited previous research about what strategieswomen use to cope with situational HC, principally in engineering environments.
