Even in current day UnitedStates, professions like structural engineering have fewer female and minority industry leadersthan those that are White Caucasian male [1], and the same follows for academics in this field.As a result, many faculty members have limited exposure to the notable published works,projects, and other contributions of under-represented individuals to share with students.Historically, entry to professions in the built environment have been riddled by barriers due togender, race, and class.

earlier study was set up with afocus on diverse students and diverse student experiences, which provided a valuable entry intohow different students experienced engineering education through their encounters with boththeir peers and faculty. These encounters, both good and bad, shaped what choices they madeabout their education; whether or not to stay in engineering; and if they left, what other major tochoose based on the investments they made in their coursework so far. We discovered otherthings through this project, such as the importance of peer support groups; how peers contributedto learning; and how students learned to navigate challenges by choosing the right instructors,courses, and majors.

follow the K-12 engineering education principles byutilizing the project-based learning (PBL) approach. The PBL is introduced by Kilpartick andthis method is used in education by Dewey. This method is based on designing or creatingproduct, solving problem, investigating, and developing an answer (J Dewey, 1980; J Dewey,2008; Kilpatrick, 1918). The PBL approach improves group work skills and collaboration whilekeeping students more engaged in learning by keeping them motivated as the key element of thisstrategy (Harun, Yusof, Jamaludin, & Hassan, 2012; Huang, 2010). The fundamental norms of agroup of students working together are communication and collaboration skills as well as anintrinsic motivation to become an effective group (Blumenfeld

Therefore, the stories were notcreated to be analyzed in this paper. They were created to be disseminated to a broad, diverseaudience. This method limits the amount of information that can be extracted from theparticipants. It is also important to note that these personal experiences with public-inspiredscience were early in the students’ graduate career, and that many of the students continued toparticipate in other citizen science projects and later produced documentaries of their work(Battle, 2020; Kriss and Hockman, 2020; Patton, 2020; Purchase, 2020; Lopez, 2021

Additionally, as vacancies increase, so too does the need for studentswith graduate degrees (master’s and doctoral level) in the field [4]. However, in the United States(U.S.) participation in graduate schools is more commonly from international students. Accordingto the survey by the Computing Research Association in 2019, almost 70% of the master’s degreesin computer sciences and 80% in engineering were awarded to international students [5].Meanwhile, 62% of the Ph.D.’s in computer sciences were awarded to international students,followed by 67% in engineering [5]. Yet, participation of domestic students pursuing graduatedegrees in computing is less than 30% in the
