项目摘要

The research is motivated by the persistently low representation of gender and racial minorities in engineering education and seeks to study the subtle behaviors, or microaggressions, that students experience in engineering programs. While microaggressions are especially frequent among minority students, their influence on student success and persistence in engineering programs has been understudied. This research investigates the effect of microaggressions on the experiences of engineering students and compares them in the context of a predominantly white institutions (Iowa State University) and a historically black college (North Carolina A&T). The project will contribute to diversifying engineering programs through increased awareness of the subtle behaviors that engineering students experience in college. Creating an environment where minority students feel safe and included allow educating a competitive workforce which will ultimately positively impact our society by incorporating the needs and perspectives of all student groups.Using an intersectional perspective that considers race and gender identities as unique identities, this research asks "How do gender and race microaggressions affect students' success and persistence in engineering programs?" To answer this question, this research proposes to address four primary goals: (1) identify gender and race microaggressions experienced by engineering students who identify as White men, White women, African-American men, African-American women, Latino men, Latina women, Asian men and Asian women; (2) build a gender and race microaggressions psychometric scale based on two institutional contexts; (3) test the relationship between gender and race microaggressions and success and persistence indicators (self-efficacy, institutional affiliation, psychological well-being and academic performance) in the context of a PWI and a HBCU; and (4) contrast and compare student experiences with gender and race microaggressions within and across the two institutional contexts. The research advances the body of knowledge on microaggressions by identifying the real stories of students who experience them and by building measures of gender and race microaggressions. Importantly, this project clarifies that microaggressions need to be studied from an intersectional perspective and consider students' unique identity based on both race and gender. Additionally, the study advances knowledge regarding institutional contexts (PWI vs. HBCU) for students' experiences with microaggressions.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这项研究的动机是在工程教育中性别和少数民族的代表性持续较低，并试图研究学生在工程项目中经历的微妙行为或微攻击。虽然微攻击在少数民族学生中特别常见，但它们对学生成功和坚持工程项目的影响却没有得到充分研究。本研究探讨了工程专业学生的经验，并比较他们的背景下，主要是白色机构（爱荷华州州立大学）和历史上的黑人大学（北卡罗来纳州AT）的微攻击的效果。该项目将通过提高对工程专业学生在大学经历的微妙行为的认识，为工程专业的多样化做出贡献。创造一个让少数民族学生感到安全和包容的环境，可以培养一支有竞争力的劳动力队伍，这将最终对我们的社会产生积极的影响，通过整合所有学生群体的需求和观点。本研究使用一个交叉的视角，将种族和性别身份视为独特的身份，问“性别和种族微侵略如何影响学生在工程项目中的成功和坚持？为了回答这个问题，本研究提出了四个主要目标：（1）确定工程专业学生所经历的性别和种族微攻击，这些学生认为自己是白色男性，白色女性，非洲裔美国男性，非洲裔美国女性，拉丁裔男性，拉丁裔女性，亚洲男性和亚洲女性;（2）建立一个基于两个机构背景的性别和种族微攻击心理测量量表;（3）在PWI和HBCU的背景下测试性别和种族微攻击与成功和持久性指标（自我效能，机构归属，心理健康和学业成绩）之间的关系;（4）对比和比较两种机构背景下的性别和种族微攻击的学生体验。该研究通过识别经历过微攻击的学生的真实的故事，并通过建立性别和种族微攻击的措施，推进了关于微攻击的知识体系。重要的是，这个项目澄清了微攻击需要从交叉的角度来研究，并考虑学生的独特身份的基础上种族和性别。此外，该研究还为学生的微攻击体验提供了有关机构背景（PWI与HBCU）的知识。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。
