women’s and LGBTQ+ individuals’opportunities for co-constructing positive gender and engineering identities. 11Such marginalizing influences of the technical/social dualism brought Faulkner to posit that theheterosexist ideology underpinning the dualism must be destabilized in order to broadenopportunities in engineering for women and gender-nonconforming populations includingmembers of the LGBTQ+ community. 11 Despite this call for challenging such heterosexism,much research drawing on Faulkner’s 2000 article minimally disrupts the mapping fromtechnical/social to heteronormative masculinity/femininity in exploring engineering as agendered discipline and career. 11,12 Only a small subset of this research examines gender issuesin relation to

Profession” is a one-credit hour course that was originallydeveloped to provide an overview of the different engineering programs at FGCU. Thisoverview was designed to give students a better understanding not only of the various majors,but also what opportunities and responsibilities a career in engineering would have, during theircollege years as well as post-graduation. As a new engineering school at a new University, thefirst offerings of this course were also designed to encourage students to consider engineering asa preferred career choice. As the course evolved and matured, additional information was addedto the curriculum based on topics identified by faculty as necessary skills for engineering majors,including topics such as unit conversions

. We conducted individual interviews with 12 students enrolled in the FYEProgram. These students were selected so that they were representative of the entire studentpopulation in terms of gender. The qualitative findings of this study reinforce that the studentsare basing their decision of a major using SLE. These findings also helped us unpack themeaning of SLE, and we further came up with 6 different types of SLE. Finally, our findings alsoindicated that direct interaction with people was highly valued by the students while selecting amajor.IntroductionFrom the vocational standpoint, literature on career decision-making is abundant.

Anengineering student can’t graduate without taking the required technical writing classes. Universities in China on the contrary, pay little attention to technical writing which is justa writing course irrelevant to any major. Many universities in China do offer English classeswhich however, emphasize more on vocabularies, sentence structures, grammars, etc. Thesecourses don’t teach English technical writing in general nor in their specific field.

A similar gendergap is seen in the employment of women in engineering fields; for example, women onlyrepresented 15.4% of employees in architecture and engineering occupations as of 2014 [6]. Thispersistent gender disparity begs the following question: why do women not choose to pursueengineering?There are several factors that are important to consider when trying to understand why femalesdo not choose to pursue engineering. First, career choice is not an objective measure of ability,nor are gender differences in course choices and career aspirations in science, technology
