All results taken together demonstrate how understanding individuals’ experiencesthrough early childhood and high school can evolve or stagnate with age and development.1. IntroductionIt is the unique experiences and perceptions of an individual which develop personal identity;often each of those experiences are heavily influenced by others surrounding us [1-2]. One’schoice in a college, or major, or even a particular career path is shaped by both positive andnegative perceptions of prior experiences, often emerging from passions or interests developedthroughout childhood [3]. Perception is a subjective evaluation of these experiences, and thus,positive and negative experiences differ from person to

Students participated in formative reflection about specific professionalcompetencies scaffolded around engineering problem typology (EPT). We conducted mockinterviews (MI) pre-/post-PT based professional competency reflection with undergraduateengineering students. Analysis showed statistically significant improvement in MI evaluationscores.

Since a large majority of underrepresentedstudents attend community colleges, engineering transfer programs at these community collegescan play an important role in addressing this challenge. However, for most community collegeengineering programs, developing strategies and programs to increase the number and diversityof students successfully pursuing careers in engineering is especially challenging due to limitedexpertise, shrinking resources and continuing budget crises.This paper is a description of how a small engineering

, departments and universities often rely on aprofessional development driven approach to establish community. While useful, these effortsare misdirected because literature shows that women’s isolation and lack of sense of community,rather than lack of career preparedness, contribute to attrition from graduate programs. To besteradicate this isolation and lack of belonging among graduate women in engineering, we took auser-centered approach. Community-led, stakeholder-centric, participatory research is astakeholder-owned means by which to elicit community member needs. This process translatesinto strategies that are developed by community members themselves to address those needs.The authors of this paper developed a pilot survey distributed to all
