We often articulate theIDSs as bridging engineering's “technical, creative, and social dimensions.” Because our socialscience faculty are largely trained in STS, “sociotechnical integration” is a departmentalhallmark, so a tagline for Design Engineering is “sociotechnical integration through design.”This approach to educating engineers has been challenged by—but also advanced because of—ABET accreditation requirements and our efforts to navigate the accreditation planning andreview.EDS offers, and therefore (mostly) controls the content of, the design spine courses (in additionto some of the focus area courses) within the overall curriculum.

These findings offer some initial insight into the challenges faced by female minoritystudents in STEM fields in terms of degree completion and retention. This analysis marks thebeginning of a journey to understand their experiences, and plans are in progress for the nextphase of this study, which is scheduled for the fall 2023 semester. The next phase will focus onidentifying the barriers that these students face and will include activities aimed at improvingtheir confidence, preparedness and sense of belonging. Section 6.0

Poor quality introductory courses are citedas reasons why STEM students do not persist in their planned majors (O'Neal et al., 2007; PCAST,2012). Graduate TAs teach many of these courses, and although they are not cited as a majorreason for STEM majors leaving, can certainly contribute to overall success or failure of a course(O'Neal et al., 2007). TAs may not have prior teaching experience and/or any training to teach, as graduateprograms typically focus largely on research training. Furthermore, they may not haveopportunities for teaching professional development. This can lead to challenges, not only

Successful engagement early in a student’s courseof study is critical as early engagement is sometimes insufficient at large universities, wherestudents do not normally feel “belonged” early due to large class sizes or lack of interactionamong students for a variety of reasons [2].
