innovative and productive workforce [1]. Recognizing thisneed, significant attention and resources have been allocated in the recent past towardsincreasing female and underrepresented minority student enrollment in STEM fields, includingengineering. These efforts have resulted in a more diverse undergraduate population in USinstitutions, but overall graduation rates still do not reflect a fully diverse student body. Forinstance, women and underrepresented minorities earned only around 19% and 13% of the 2012 1bachelor degrees in engineering, a small increase from previous years [2]. Additionally, thisincrease in diversity is not uniform across disciplines; traditional engineering disciplines havemuch

Simultaneously, it promotedthe three categories within quantitative research through this real work scenario: actualexperimental design and setup, theoretical calculations of ground speed from distance and time,and descriptive analysis of a real-world scenario.Within the “real work” learning process, it is essential to account for how the Net Generationlearns.21 The

It isinteresting to note that analytical accounts and approximate solutions show preponderance overexperimental data. This was realized independently by the students too and reflects in their choiceof mode of validation. Students overwhelmingly used published analytical equations to validatetheir own analytical/Mathematica work and results obtained from the Hyperworks Suite.Analytical equationsFor loaded circular plates with a central hole, for a variety of boundary conditions, analyticalequations for the maximum deflection, ymax , of the plate are described by equation 11.

The most typical data collection tool usedwas interviews in multiple forms—including semi-structured, one on one, and focus groups.Similarly, open-ended surveys were also used as a form of collecting qualitative participantresponses. Some unique forms of data sources were online blogs (Jafer, 2015), online forumposts and emails (Blaser, Steele, & Burgstahler, 2015), student artifacts (Gray et al., 2016), panelproceedings (Genalo et al., 2015), and reflective journals (Brewer et al., 2015).

In other words, case studies provide rich context and detail, though researchersmust be careful about generalizing what they find. In addition, assessing women’s experiencesmore quantitatively may not be possible because of the number of women present in a givenengineering program (the MSE program studied here has only 6 women out of a cohort of 22enrolled in the senior project course) and because their grades or other methods of numericalevaluation may not adequately reflect their

It is not without significance that Huitching’s first publication was titled “Why sopure? (Item 27). It reflected a deeply held division in English culture. But of greatersignificance to the thesis offered here is the fact that the term “technology” is used in hismajor report (item 29), and this is taken to be synonymous with “engineering”. At the timethere were very few departments with technology in their titles in the universities but verymany departments of engineering of one kind or another.

While these guidelines—Professional Codes of Ethics—may help engineers appreciate what not to do [4, 5], they areinsufficiently specific to guide novice engineers through ethically ambiguous situations. As early20th century artefacts, they also tend to reproduce structural inequities embedded in the history ofthe profession, and thus fail to reflect the experiences of historically underrepresented groups ofengineers [6-14].

Inengineering majors, men typically outnumber women, as reflected in a 2017 report whichrevealed only 21.3% of bachelor’s degrees in engineering were earned by women [14]. Despitewomen earning fewer engineering degrees than men, a positive correlation between being femaleand graduation rates has been found [3]. Women frequently have been reported to be more likelythan men to earn a bachelor’s degree once enrolled, regardless of the time frame needed to earnthe degree [15] [16] [17].
