Initially, the researchers felt Omar’sresponses could have fit in broader systemic issues such as greenwashing or performativeallyship [34], [35], but in reflection following the interview process, the researchers felt Omarmight have been uncomfortable, or felt he was being assessed, leading him to look for the “right”answer. However, Omar perceived his work as separate from efforts in diversity or equity, the“science side of things.” Later in the interview, Omar also mentioned that he did not have a lot ofinvolvement with the Center outside of his lab, lab work, and advisor. Omar may not have beenexposed to the importance of inclusive or equitable practices in the way Zenith was

After this, the instructor typicallypresents the true conclusion, which is always an entertaining time—especially if a team wascorrect but was not voted up to the next level.Students are asked to reflect on the experience together in a classroom-wide discussion. Themain takeaways typically regard:• The criticality of due process, the formality of investigations, and the correct handling/ interpretation of evidence.• The power of perception, and how remaining impartial is paramount when the stakes are so high.• The nuance and broadness of engineering as a profession and skillset. Equipment can be very sensitive to small elements, and a broad knowledge base is needed to not only understand the

Based on the results of the literaturereview, it is clear that some dynamics systems and controls undergraduate laboratory courses atother institutions have effectively employed hands-on laboratory exercises at low cost.

This commitment to a shift in the educationalapproach within MSE departments is highlighted in the strategic plan of the National Scienceand Technology Council’s Materials Genome Initiative, which posits that the next generation ofthe MSE workforce will need to master three competencies: experimentation, data management,and computation [4].MSE educators have worked to construct educational offerings that develop competencies in theareas identified by the Materials Genome Initiative.

This question was derived from previous work that quantitatively exploredundergraduate engineering identity and recognition beliefs [11] and specifically uses thephrasing “see you as an engineer” to keep questions in the participants’ language [37]. The open-ended nature of the focus groups allowed for follow-up questions and permitted researchers togather rich details about participants’ experiences to go beyond whether they do or do notbelieve others saw them as an engineer and to better explore the qualities of experiences that ledto these beliefs.

I would be smart enough to do that, or, I would have enough expertise to do that. One of the big things that I got out of my experiences [at my University] is understanding the importance of reflection, and understanding, thinking back over my life, and about choices I‟ve made, and what‟s meaningful, and what I learned. − EmmaAlex adds to Emma's comments what he learned from the PhD experience: The appreciation for what makes good research. So it took me a while to realize that, you didn‟t just have to find a reference, you really had to find all the references. And you had to look at all the work that‟s been done not just here‟s something somebody did, I‟m building on it. End of story

The two-year retention rate is also relatively flat from 1998through 2005 at about 50%. The 2006 cohort however, shows a significant increase to 68%.
