inengineering schools and relatively little has changed in the past 20 years. Innovation inengineering education will require both faculty members and education researchers collaborateto work on and maintain change such that the practice of teaching informs engineering educationresearch and vice versa. This change must be driven by faculty and administrators in engineeringschools 3, which suggests that these individuals must gain the knowledge and develop the skillsand abilities necessary to produce and support change. With this in mind, we held a workshop forrepresentatives of engineering schools who have made significant changes. The goal of theworkshop was to learn from these successful change leaders to inform our efforts at developing abroad

Some of the statements about the nature ofdesign that were brought to the fore in recent controversies in the United States and elsewhere overevolution and intelligent design can have significance for engineers and engineering educators [1]. Fromthe time of the “blind watchmaker” to current day arguments, reference to human-made works andengineering abound in the literature of theology, evolutionary theory and its opponents. Whatever

A semi-structured interview protocol based in interpretive phenomenological analysiswas used to elucidate the students’ experiences that fostered belongingness. Separate themesfrom each student were created from coding and then overarching themes unified a sharedexperience.The following overarching themes were prevalent among the participants: similarity toclassmates, recognition as an engineer by peers, limited questioning of belongingness, andbelongingness is a state of mind. The results depict that elements of engineering identity play apart in making students feel they belong (e.g., recognition), but in some cases, belongingness isdistinct from

When approaching the interviews inductively, themes were drawn fromthe data without a theoretical reference in mind, similar to grounded theory research methods.8Therefore, we sought to find descriptions related to our participants’ perceptions of women inengineering without using existing general theories for women in engineering. Thesedescriptions were then formed into general themes that captured the essence of our participants’perceptions of being a woman in engineering.
