American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 WIP: An Autoethnographic Account of a Female Engineering InternAbstractThis paper is a work in progress (WIP) that explores the experiences of a female undergraduateengineer, Kayla1, in both professional and academic settings. Studies have found that womenwho persist in engineering describe themselves as having an engineering identity [1]. Accordingto Faulkner, however, the normative engineering culture tends to make working relationshipseasier for men than women, and women are “visible as women, yet invisible as engineers” [2, p.169].

Further, students’ ability to effectively work in a teamis a required outcome for all U.S. accredited engineering programs [2]. Research suggests thatwhen collaborative learning (i.e., working with peers) is implemented in undergraduateengineering courses, students show increased engagement with course material [3] and improvedacademic performance [4]. Despite these promising results, current engineering education research regarding groupwork and collaborative learning is limited

the barriers instructors face when using activelearning in first- and second-year STEM courses in online-settings at post-secondary institutions.Here, we focus on fully online courses, taught in both asynchronous and synchronous settings,that have no in-person component. For our purposes, we define active learning broadly, as anytime the instructor goes beyond simply lecturing with the students taking notes. Active learningleads to improved student learning, more engaged students, and increased interest in STEM (e.g.,[1]-[5]). Additionally, active learning increases the quality, number, and diversity of STEMgraduates [5]. Despite these positive findings, adoption of active learning in classrooms has beenslow [4], and researchers have sought

research focused on thecollege experience and academic success of college students with ADHD.Introduction Approximately 6.5% of incoming college freshman are students with attention deficithyperactivity disorder (ADHD) [1], [2]; yet, the college experience and academic success ofthese students remain understudied [3]. Students with ADHD commonly identify high energylevels, resilience, courage, and the ability to hyper-focus on tasks of interest as strengths [4]-[6],which are likely advantageous for academic success. However, college students with ADHDearn lower grades than their peers on average [2], [7]-[9] and are less likely to graduate [10].Researchers attribute these students’ lower than average academic achievement to difficulty

Theargument in favor of this has been that engineers, with their critical thinking and problem-solving skills, if equipped with an entrepreneurial mindset, will be better suited to “createpersonal, economic, and societal value through a lifetime of meaningful work” [1]. The practiceof promoting and developing entrepreneurial thinking of engineering students extends beyondthe KEEN institutions, and the collective efforts appear well documented.

education programming to innovate their fields.IntroductionIn the United States, national calls have emerged for expanding the science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce [1]. Government officials suggest that anincrease in the number of STEM professionals and innovations is important for meeting risingsocial, economic, and environmental concerns across the country [2], [3]. One approach forSTEM workforce development is the launch of STEM entrepreneurship education programming.STEM entrepreneurial education programs (EEPs) promote and support university faculty,students and administrators in their transformation of STEM research into marketable products[4]–[8]. Since their emergence in the late 20th century, STEM EEPs have
