Paper ID #18517Unpacking Latent DiversityDr. Allison Godwin, Purdue University, West Lafayette (College of Engineering) Allison Godwin, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Engineering Education at Purdue University. Her research focuses what factors influence diverse students to choose engineering and stay in engineering through their careers and how different experiences within the practice and culture of engineering foster or hinder belongingness and identity development. Dr. Godwin graduated from Clemson University with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and Ph.D. in Engineering and Science Education. She is the recipient

Also, during each activity, and with specialemphasis in the week-long projects, we encourage students to complete their projects using theframework of the engineering design process (EDP). It has been shown that using the EDP as aguide for students during their projects is an effective tool in K-12 environments [3]. Inparticular, we stress the importance of iterating and improving their initial prototypes based onresults from testing their designs.AudioWorks: Custom-Developed iPad App for SMTAudioWorks is

In contrast, Bird [3] theorizes university promotion systemsas “incongruous, gendered structures” with institutional barriers that limit the advancement ofwomen or systematically advantage men. While many studies have investigated these problemsand interventions to address them [4], fewer have addressed promotion policy reform and theprocesses by which institutions have attempted to transform incongruous, gendered systems tomore equitable systems where rewards are aligned with institutional mission and values.Scholars have also examined the problem of

The Navy ROTC classifiesacademic majors into desirability, with the most desirable Tier 1 majors including aerospace,chemical, electrical, mechanical, naval, nuclear, ocean, and systems engineering; Tier 2 majorsinclude civil, computer, and biomedical engineering [25]. There are also specific military postsavailable to civil engineers via the Navy Seabees, Navy Civil Engineering Corps, and ArmyCorps of Engineers. At one large, public institution among about 5000 undergraduate studentsenrolled in the College of Engineering, about 2% were participating in ROTC [unpublisheddata].

Autoethnographic techniques are used to construct three accounts ofthe student’s encounters with an upper level administrator, various members of faculty, and anacademic advisor. Critical analysis of these experiences using a prior evidence-based model ofstories ‘told’ about engineering in the public discourse reveals tensions between the freshmanstudent’s values and career interests and the emergent, dominant discourse he observed in hisundergraduate program. These tensions are described in terms of: i) The prioritization of nationaleconomic recovery and growth over the life and career goals of individuals; ii) A predominantfocus on the quantitative and technical aspects of
