This curriculum involves student teams completingDesign Challenges, which translate chemistry concepts such as specific heat capacity, solubility,and reaction kinetics into situated problems that are unique to the practice of professionalengineers. In addition to contextualizing science and engineering as real world applications, ourapproach forecasts the professional practice of various types of engineering careers. Thisapproach allows first- and second-year students to experience the work of a professionalengineer in a developmentally appropriate form as a means of learning the domain of chemistry.Special consideration has also been given to designing for populations sensitive to

Likewise, in2017, only 3.1% of workers in technical jobs among the eight largest tech companies in theU.S. were Black [9]. Moreover, not only are universities struggling with effectively recruiting and retaining Black computer science students, top tech companies are disproportionately hiring from existing computing talent [9], [10]. Additional and accessible resources are needed to support Black people looking to enter into computing and computer science. This may include resources for high school students considering computing careers, computer science graduates seeking jobs, or established professionals in other fields looking to enter the

Problems areoften presented free of broader contexts in which the concepts might apply, and they ask studentsto employ complex math and physics concepts to scenarios that might bear little, if any,resemblance to the real world or their lived experiences. Such issues can present challenges forstudents as they struggle to understand the relevance or application of the concepts they arelearning both within their lives and the engineering profession more broadly. Without makingmeaningful connections between their lived experiences and the content they are learning,engineering students can lose motivation and expectations for success in their academic andprofessional careers (Kosovich, Hulleman, Phelps, & Lee, 2019).One way that
