There are certain teachers that students actively avoid because they aren’t known for good teaching, but for the most part excellent teaching seems important to the department.” (2020, Yes) “I feel like there’s a bit of a paradox with professor’s involvement with students. I feel like many are involved in student oriented groups, projects and research which is great for involved students. However it also makes me more hesitant to reach out to

Compared to alternative business strategies, other factors reduce the attractiveness and feasibility of innovation: a financial sector unable to assess innovative projects, weak protection of intellectual property which reduces the rewards for creativity, regulations which increase risks and costs of commercialization of innovative products or processes, etc.”4) Innovation increasingly relies on effective interaction between the engineering base in industry and directed scientific research at universities. “Innovation results from complex interactions between research, design

In the long term, this would reduce AEC workforce shortages andfoster the innovation of more gender friendly AEC products and services.INTRODUCTIONIn addition to workforce shortages and the lack of racial diversity in the architecture,engineering, and construction (AEC) industry, women are severely underrepresented in AECprofessions. With projected employment growth in the AEC industry, there are seriousnationwide concerns about these workforce shortages [1-4

The study on thethree adolescent boys created a scenario centered on engineering design, for which funds ofknowledge was drawn upon, while the study on college students pulled from their existingengineering-related experiences to elicit funds of knowledge. However, both studies supportedcommunity-based design projects as valuable methods for drawing on students’ funds ofknowledge.Referring back to our research question—How is the funds of knowledge framework being utilizedto understand engineering concepts at the secondary and post-secondary level? —both examplescentered on the

We collected data at the end of each academic semester, reviewing participants’ responses,and modifying the interview protocols and survey instruments when preliminary analyses ofstudent responses suggested additional or different questions would elicit more nuanced ordetailed participant responses.

Figure 9: Female students participants rate the frequency of being treated as if they were not competent while working with peers.The literature shows that women pursuing engineering often receive negative messages regardingtheir abilities [1]. Our female interview participants acknowledged this and indicated that acommon outcome is that women are often pushed towards non-technical roles in group projects.Our results show that 44% of our female participants are sometimes or often denied the opportunityto participate fully in group projects, as shown in Figure 10.

marginalized groups continue to pursue graduate education. In Golde’s work on socialization in graduate school, the first year of doctoral education isbroken into four tasks of transition. The first is intellectual mastery, in which a student completescoursework in their field. The second task is learning how graduate school operates and whatthey should expect from their life in graduate school as a student. Similarly, the third task isdescribed as learning how their projected profession works and determining how they feel aboutmoving in this direction post-graduation. Finally, the fourth task is integrating themselves intothe department and their cohort [1]. The program described in this work is designed to primarilyassist students with this

For example, one of the main priorities graduatestudents discussed as in conflict to their interdisciplinary scholar identity development is theexpectation to have publications in certain disciplinary-acclaimed journals and to specifically bethe first author on those publications. In 2020, Student A said, So I was thinking about the IR program, and I think it is a little bit hard to be motivated, because PhD students need to be the first author of their dissertation. And everyone is PhD student so … their priority cannot be that interdisciplinary project. And I get also faculty have similar feeling, because

. Common practice in Aerospace Engineering whentreating variability in material elasticity is to simply take the average value. In cases wherefailure depends on elasticity (such as with buckling) [7], the use of the average results in elevatedrisk for structures and any users of those systems [5].This research was motivated initially by these observed trends in Aerospace Engineering.However, the goals of this project are to understand how engineers across disciplines react tovariability. The following sections describe the frameworks used to frame the research, resultsfrom two studies under this project umbrella, and implications from across the studies. The goalof this paper is to describe the behavior of targeting the consequences of variability
