Survey distributionThe survey was emailed by the College of Engineering at our institution to all the undergraduate(and some graduate) students enrolled in engineering courses in the summer 2020 semester. Theinvitation email for the survey was sent at the end of the summer semester, followed by the firstand the second reminders with a gap of four days between each.ResultsThe accuracy of this survey was ensured by getting it reviewed by an external researcher and byconducting a small-scale pilot test before sending it to the engineering population for large-scaletesting.I.

We theorize that findinga new domain with a supporting community – a home – was crucial for their continuation andsuccess in EER.The feeling of homelessness was a central theme observed in the results of an autoethnographyconducted by the third author [6]. This research was based on McAlpine et al.’s identity-trajectory network framework [25], and unlike our pilot study, which focused on internationallysuccessful academics, their study focused on graduate students studying engineering educationresearch in Canada.

Engineering students in non-electrical disciplines have also been attracted to the courseto build their electronics skills for lab work. These skills should better prepare students tomeaningfully engage with technology in their lives and careers after graduation.

While initially planned as an in-person course, university restrictionsdue to the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in fully remote implementations in the first twosemesters (2020-2021 academic year). Creating a remote course required several considerations.First, class lectures were held via Zoom.

Because this student’s performance of her ‘engineerself’ did not align with the few culturally produced or accepted engineering identities reservedfor women on campus (most were uncomplimentary), she was ‘othered’ and remainedunrecognized. Indications were that this student will likely leave engineering post graduation[19].In another study, Du found women at
