Althoughcompanies may claim they want to do better, and some have begun to develop and implementinitiatives to promote and improve diversity, ongoing reports of discrimination and metricsdemonstrate there is still a long way to go to achieve inclusivity and parity in representation,particularly for women, Hispanic/Latinx, and Black/African American workers. To learn moreabout students’ pathways to a career, especially those which are underrepresented in thediscipline, and to examine what they believe may ameliorate interview preparation and the hiringprocess, we employed phenomenography.

This industry-classroom course was approved tobe one of the professional elective courses giving the students an incentive to take it. Theonly requirement for this course was being admitted to the BME major and wanting to takethe course. As part of the course, the company also reimbursed students for any requiredtraining and paid them at a rate of $10/hr.

Another idea that I had gleaned from conversationswith students was that they didn’t remember much from their computer science Introduction toComputing courses because it seemed impractical. “Hello, world” and other programs they hadbeen asked to write were not related to what they saw as their future career. My goal, therefore,was to demonstrate relevance to my students. Thus, each problem they were asked to solveneeded to relate to chemical engineering. This was made more challenging by the fact that thestudents had very limited knowledge of what chemical engineering was at the time they weretaking this course.

How does the student actively secure their potential job? The typical answerwould be by procuring an internship. Traditionally, internships can be secured by students apply-ing for formal internship programs, or even by arranging an internship through the career centerat their respective universities. However, there are internships that are obtained by non-traditionalmeans. There are times when opportunities arise in the most unlikely circumstances

The original threshold gpafor scholars to stay in the program was not enforced for the first semester because of theextraordinary challenges these students faced.

structuralenvironment that confers a greater sense of belonging and ability to succeed to men thanwomen” (p. 8). Consequently, fewer women enter college intending to pursue a career inengineering because their school personnel most likely did not encourage them to considerengineering. Among those women who major in engineering, they are less likely than men toidentify themselves as engineers [10]. Myers et al. [10] found in their quantitative study of 701engineering majors at a private institution that 12-20% fewer women, across all academic levels,identified as engineers when compared to the men in their study. The higher chance of menidentifying as engineers is likely an outcome of the self-perpetuating societal belief thatengineers are typically White

These evaluations are often used for consideration of tenure,compensation, employment decisions, and teaching awards, among other career milestones.However, a variety of literature indicates that student evaluations of teaching may not be anaccurate indication of teaching effectiveness [1], [2]. In particular, student biases about factorssuch as gender, race, and age can all affect their evaluations [3]–[5]. In this Work-in-progressarticle, we introduce a backwards design approach to re-evaluate the use and goals of courseevaluations from multiple stakeholders including faculty, administrators, and students.
