Relationships and Identity Influences on Engineering Doctoral Degree Completion Intentions
Doctoral engineering students leave doctoral programs without their intended degrees at high rates, with students from minoritized groups leaving at higher rates. In the current study, we modeled the associations between academic relationships, professional identity, and degree completion intentions (DCI). Positive academic relationships with research advisors and peers within doctoral degree programs can bolster persistence and professional iden…
Development and initial validation of the Discrimination in Engineering Graduate Education (DEGrE) Scale
Anyone, but not Everyone
This paper examines students’ claims about who can become an engineer and what it takes in engineering culture to be successful. Through longitudinal interviews with 20 undergraduate engineering students, we found that participants’ descriptions of who can ‘do’ engineering were paradoxical. Participants simultaneously maintained that ‘anyone’ could do engineering and that individuals must also possess certain characteristics to become engineers. …
IEEE Education Society Awards, 2018 Frontiers in Education Conference Awards, and Selected IEEE Awards
The IEEE Education Society, the IEEE Computer Society, and the American Society for Engineering Education Educational Research and Methods Division (ASEE-ERM) sponsored the 48th Frontiers in Education (FIE) Conference in San Jose, CA, USA, held October 3–6, 2018. Claudio R. Brito, President of the IEEE Education Society, and Stephen T. Frezza, Chair of the FIE Steering Committee, presented awards sponsored by the Education Society and the FIE Con…
Design Experiences, Engineering Identity, and Belongingness in Early Career Electrical and Computer Engineering Students
Contribution: This paper found that design experiences can foster engineering identity and belongingness for early career electrical and computer engineering students. Students had different interpretations of what it meant to be an engineer (identity) and their belongingness in engineering. This paper provides novel insights into how students may be developing identities and belongingness in engineering, both critical for student retention and s…
Exploring tensions of using interpretative phenomenological analysis in a domain with conflicting cultural practices
The philosophical foundations of interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA)—phenomenology, hermeneutics, and idiography—guide its practice and use. However, this foundation is often at odds with cultural practices of disciplines that value post-positivist perspectives emphasizing that reality can be objectively known. The conflict between the philosophical underpinnings of the methodology and the cultural practices of particular disciplines c…
Gendered Interests in Electrical, Computer, and Biomedical Engineering
Contribution: The current study finds that female-identified students report stronger associations between “helping others” and interest in bioengineering/biomedical engineering than non-females, while they report less interest in electrical and computer engineering overall, with similar associations to factors such as “inventing/designing things” than non-females. Background: While women have made gains in STEM, electrical and computer engineeri…
Engineering Women’s Attitudes and Goals in Choosing Disciplines with Above and Below Average Female Representation
Women’s participation in engineering remains well below that of men at all degree levels. However, despite the low enrollment of women in engineering as a whole, some engineering disciplines report above average female enrollment. We used multiple linear regression to examine the attitudes, beliefs, career outcome expectations, and career choice of first-year female engineering students enrolled in below average, average, and above average female…
