bachelor’s degrees in engineering has increased in the last decade;however, the growth has been slow, increasing from 17.8% in 2010 to 22.5% in 2019 [4].Additionally, the percentage of Blacks or African Americans earning bachelor’s degrees inengineering has remained around 4.2% since 2011. With women making up 50.8% of thepopulation and Blacks or African Americans making up 13.4% of the population [5], the severityof the underrepresentation is clear. Since it is not reasonable to expect to build demographicallydiverse teams, engineering educators must work to build capacity for diversity by cultivatinginclusive cultures and curricula [6], [7].Building inclusive classrooms is one component of building culture [8]. Efforts toward moreinclusive

Scholars have also mentioned the closely-relatedconceptualizations of sustainable design [27] and, more explicitly, empathic design [28].In this review, we sought to explore what empirical evidence exists for cultivating empathy, andwhich learning activities or pedagogical approaches can be used for its development in STEMstudents. While we do examine how some of these other concepts related to empathy wereintegrated into educational contexts, empathy remained at the forefront of our inquiry.3 Theoretical FrameworkIn 2019, Stanford psychologist Jamil Zaki published The War For Kindness: Building Empathy InA Fractured World [29

public perceives themovement, its demands, and its proposed policy solutions. The “movement framing” theory aidsin analyzing the tweets produced and reshared by public educational institutions.Method A content analysis of university tweets was conducted. Content analysis is a researchmethod used to make replicable and valid inferences by interpreting and coding textual, visualand audio data (Stemler, 2015). The sample institutions were chosen from the top six institutionsawarding bachelor’s degrees to African Americans (ASEE, 2019). Engineering fields typicallyhave challenges in recruiting and retaining African Americans. We found it helpful to researchinstitutions that produce the most significant number of Black engineers in 2019. The

We also want to emphasize that the presentation is bringing together two different related ideas, and so you can think of it as describing two different studies in one.As of 2019, Black/ African American and Hispanic tenure‐track faculty represented only 2.5% and 3.7%, respectively, of all tenure‐track engineering faculty: a 0% increase in each group since 2011, and a 0.6% and 1.4% decrease, respectively, from each group reaching its peak representation in 2017.

; Ozkan, 2021). 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
]. Lizotte andClifford Simplican called for future research to prioritize graduate students with invisibledisabilities (e.g., psychiatric disabilities, autism, and brain injuries) [3]. Yet, very little researchhas been done on students with invisible disabilities [5].A dearth of knowledge on graduate students with disabilities was identified in a 2017 literaturereview [3]. Subsequently, the gap in the literature on university students with disabilities inresearch roles was identified in a 2019 literature review [1]. It is essential to include allindividuals who can contribute to research, especially those from diverse backgrounds andabilities [10]. Yet, individuals with disabilities continue to be excluded from academia. Thecurrent literature

Weinitially included conferences that we were professionally aware of, including the AmericanSociety for Engineering Education (ASEE) CoNECD conference, the RESPECT 2021conference, and the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) Annual Convention.Additional conferences were identified through Google searches that included the phrase“Black in computer

A key component of successful career work in engineering is the ability to work as a partof a collaborative group or team.

made its initial appearance in education when scholars expressed doubt about the 1956Brown vs. Board of Education ruling (Ladson-Billings & Tate, 1995). Derrick Bell believed theruling pushed an agenda that benefited white elites of the country rather than the educationalwell-being of Black people, a phenomenon Bell (1980; 1995) referred to as interest convergence. In much the same way, traditional citation practices and the manuscript review processbenefit established scholars often with privileged identities (Mott & Cockyane, 2018).
