Curricula to Engender Inclusive Professional Identities in StudentsIntroductionTo identify and solve the wicked problems [1] our society faces, science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) enterprises need a heterogeneous constellation ofperspectives, mindsets, and expertise. Diverse teams are appealing because of their documentedcapacity to outperform groups selected based only on ability when facing difficult challenges [2].However, organizational theorists note that equipping people with the skills necessary to worktogether productively on teams composed of diverse members remains a challenge [3].Additionally, the culture of engineering and computer science, in particular, is oftenunwelcoming toward those with

However, support services(e. g., technology support, instructional design staff, teaching and learning center, etc.) variedacross institutions, making it difficult for instructors to get assistance. Holliman et al., [17]asserted that employees whose autonomy is supported by their university are able to easily adapt.Thus, during a crisis situation, universities need to have ample support staff available for aseamless transition and consider how they are supporting instructor autonomy during transitionto and implementation of ERT.Konig and colleagues [22] suggest this rapid transition to remote teaching, at a minimum,requires knowledge and skills. As was seen in these findings, engineering instructors developedtheir

technology can solve. Once students settle on a technical topic, they work to develop a practical scope anddepth that refines the topic. For example, a student who expresses interest in the problem ofclimate change is encouraged to focus on a sub-issue such as rising sea levels or deforestation. Astudent interested in pursuing new and innovative solutions for amputees is encouraged to focuson lower or upper body amputations, not both. Refinement of the student’s topic enables amanageable scope and a depth that is ideal for a technical talk given to a wide audience. The goals of the topic proposal are for students to clearly communicate a specific societalproblem that can be solved or lessened by an engineering solution, to cite a

The network of stakeholders in acommunity organizing project is often much larger than in engineering projects, and thereforeorganizers must develop skills for uniting a broad diversity of motivations and objectivestowards the common interest of a project. This is a struggle faced in engineering as well, andengineers must facilitate a network of collaboration that will sustain throughout operation andmaintenance of the newly implemented technology. Furthermore, community organizingexemplifies that project milestones cannot proceed without heavy participation and genuinecontribution from the client community stakeholders.

IntroductionConversations between caregivers and children create natural environments for children to play,practice, and learn [1]. Researchers have reported how conversations about science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) promotes a collaborative process of sense-making ofscientific literacy [2], sharing knowledge through explanation and questions [3], and developingacademic competency [4]. However, in general, studies that examined STEM-relatedconversations between caregivers and children

On a community walk, she told me about a time in her middleschool STEM class where she had to build a marshmallow launcher. “Why would I want to dothat?” she rhetorically asked (Field Notes, 07/17/2018). At first glance, Mariabella appeared tobe disinterested in engineering. On her second day working with the community engineeringprogram, she offered, “I love people, but I hate technology” (Video Transcript, 07/18/2018). Yet,Mariabella participated in the community engineering program for two years, defining anddesigning toward community problems. Over time, we reflected on these collective experiencestogether, and she raised other engineering experiences in her life.Mariabella, an annoyed coder After working with Mariabella for
