This workshop is based on the presenters' previous research, “‘At the bottom of the food chain’: Constructing our academic identity in engineering education as international graduate students,” for the 2022 ASEE annual conference. Funds of identity serve as the theoretical framework to understanding international students’ identities from three kinds of resources: socially distributed, culturally developed, and historically accumulated experiences. The previous and current work provided insights on the struggles of international graduate students from these three aspects. Workshop participant ... (continued)

For those interested in: Broadening Participation in Engineering and Engineering Technology and New Members
The need for engineers to abide by professional and ethical conduct in the discharge of their duties is of great importance in ensuring the safety of people and the reputation of the engineering profession. Likewise, engineering students should abide by a code of academic integrity in their preparation to become professional engineers. In light of this, stakeholders in engineering education are concerned about how to maintain a culture of academic integrity and ethics in the wake of the increased cases of self-reported academic dishonesty among students. In recent times, this concern has been wor ... (continued)
