concept that helps explicate how social justice might be enacted within the academy and draws on Black women theorists in order to frame the project. The lead author, a white woman, receives the reviews, only to find that the reviewer has disparaged the writing style and the methodology, demanding graphs and charts and analysis! The tone of the review is troubling, particularly for a social justice track: as their qualitative study (along with decades of research) shows, the preference for a particular style of writing, for charts and quantitative analysis, often reveals and upholds patriarchal, Western and white supremacist values. Key to social justice, the lead author thinks, is an

As shownin Figure 2, the ratio of mentions of social dimensions to technical dimensions in the engineeringstatement was the inverse of those mentions in the near future steps portion of the action plan.Because students were not explicitly prompted to make these connections, and the sample weanalyzed was small, these early findings suggest the need for further examination and betteralignment between conceptual understanding and action.Figure 2.

studentsclaimed not to have realized that different types of audiences often existed for a technicaldocument. As one student wrote, “I simply thought that because the writing is scientific, it isintended for a learned audience when in reality, scientific writing can be intended for differentaudiences,” such as users of an instruction manual or for decision makers of a project. Thesefindings supported our decision to keep those details in the film series. With regard to the question on what students most liked about the films, the top commentconcerned the high number of examples and the quality of those examples. The second portion ofthe comment was not surprising given that the examples had been vetted by so manyprofessional engineers. Also

Designed by a team containing the author, theprogram engages youth in defining a community engineering problem of interest, researchingthat problem, and developing a solution. I led the programming multiple times over three yearswithin an afterschool and summer context. 75% of sessions were video-recorded, resulting in atleast ten hours of clearly visible video per youth. I interviewed youth via focus groups at the endof each project and collected all youth-produced artifacts.

We included four groups of variables for analysis in light of the conceptual framework for thisstudy and used the general Input-Environment-Outcome framework to assess learning experience andoutcomes in postsecondary education [32, 33]. The focus of interest for the study was self-directedlearning. We included five measures—motivation for learning, time management, self-regulation,persistence, and help-seeking—to serve as the self-directed learning (SDL) indicators as theyrepresent the key characteristics of self-directed learners [10].

educationliterature. In fact, modern expectancy-value theories argue that individuals' choice, persistenceand performance can be explained by their beliefs about how well they will do on the activityand the extent to which they value the activity [9, 10]. For example, a student chooses to engagewith different course materials because they believe it will increase their performance or overallunderstanding. Likewise, interest in a topic and empowerment to make choices in their learningengagement can determine whether or not a student performs well in a course. To betterunderstand the expected value of different course materials, the project leveraged a popular,validated survey methodology known as the MUSIC Inventory. The MUSIC Inventory measuresthe five

requirement, under learningoutcome (d), that students be able to “function on multidisciplinary teams” [25]. Insofar as mostprograms utilized their capstone design experience to bring their students together, most collegesmix, at best, students from different engineering disciplines rather than drawing on studentsmajoring in business, economics, and other relevant fields such as history, psychology, andanthropology. Some programs also simply choose projects that require multiple disciplinaryperspectives to be applied without requiring the students themselves to come from differentdisciplinary backgrounds. The current guideline says multidisciplinary capstone design. [In] the new guideline, which will probably go live December 1

The benefit of the course to her,then, was not only having furthered her understanding of her identity development, but feelingready to share that with the world. Taken together, these data suggest the course was able to helpstudents progress in their self-concept clarity and the projection of that clarity, regardless of thelevel of self-concept clarity with which they entered.With these findings from the inductive
