This type of behavior was only observedin non-technical tasks.Male Perceptions of Engineering TeamsTo understand team dynamics, researchers may ask male students about their experiences andobservations on sexism in their teams. In one study, male engineering students were seven timesmore likely than female engineering students to agree that their male peers treated female peersin engineering as equals (Osborne, 2008). This suggests that male students are less likely toobserve inequality in their own contexts and in their own teams, and they likely do not believethey play a part in gendered behavior and discrimination in engineering teams.

Having open discussions with peers and time to critique allowed a shift inthe responsibility for learning, which in turn somehow enabled deeper learning. It makes me feel like I'm actually teaching them something because they're thinking for themselves. Finally, I think that I have breached the idea of what critical thinking is in technical writing for engineers.
