principles to the design of two engineering units for upper elementary out- of-school settings.Theoretical FrameworksYES rests in a sociocultural learning theory. That is, we consider youth in their cultural, social,linguistic, and institutional contexts. As youth interact with peers, learning communities, andmore-knowledgeable others to engage in authentic engineering work and discourse, they developdisciplinary knowledge and practices [12–14]. Engaging in engineering design activitiesincluding brainstorming, planning, constructing, testing, analyzing, and iterating affords youthopportunities to develop facility with the types of activity and discourse (speaking, gesturing,writing, representing) that constitute engineering [15, 16].

borderlands of identity from Mexican American women in Engineering and Computer Science (Work in Progress)Out of close to 2 million students enrolled in 2018, only around 2.8% of Latina students earned abachelor’s degree in science and engineering [1]. In engineering, Latino men earned 3.5 timesthe number of bachelor’s degrees in engineering as Latina women did [2] while Latina womenmake up only 2% of all computing bachelor’s degrees [3]. Previous literature on Latina studentsin engineering and computing within higher education has shown the importance of identityformation and community cultural wealth [4] [5], having a strong network of support from peers,advisors, and faculty, particularly those from the same race/ethnicity [6] - [8], and

By 2021, there was only a 2.4% increase in the total number of women graduating froman undergraduate engineering program [63]. Students of color are also underrepresented in theSTEM fields [1], [4], and their attrition in the STEM programs is likely to occur (e.g.,Latino/Latina/Latinx, African Americans, and Native Americans) [1], [5].Existing literature documented that men students’ high self-efficacy and low mathematical-related anxiety may be two of the factors driving their persistence in STEM courses [6] - [13].Self-efficacy, defined as “individual judgments of [one’s] capabilities to perform given actions”[14, p. 207], has been

Virtual internships offerflexibility that not only enables students to complete tasks on time but also creates an optimizedwork-life balance. Additionally, students can work from anywhere across the globe andcollaborate with peers and mentors from multiple countries and disciplinary backgrounds.Furthermore, virtual internships have been found to increase motivation and enable students tolearn better [2] by allowing them to have more flexibility, mobility, and autonomy in their work[3].

Students were taught in interactive sessions how to structure a scientific paper, how to find and cite papers in the literature, how to make their writing flow, the importance of editing, how to visualize data, and best practices for presenting and discussing their work orally. All class exercises directly contributed to the student’s completion of their poster and IEEE abstract and did not add any additional “busy work” to their schedules.• Weekly Seminar and Journal Club Series: Every Thursday at 10 AM, students met for either a seminar or

]. In Computer Science (CS), studentsoften don’t see how their “systems” classes, like Computer Organization, fit in with theirprogramming classes. This results in decreased engagement with course content, whichundermines student learning. Reflective writing is a pedagogical strategy introduced by Dewey[2] and extended by Schon [3] that has been found to increase critical thinking in students byallowing them to analyze their experiences for better understanding. Moon’s [4] theory oflearning and reflection in undergraduate education explores reflection as a way to guide a studentfrom surface learning (memorizing facts) to deep learning (integrated ideas and a holisticview)[4]. Reflection that promotes deep learning can help CS students realize

Theiradoption of the CW was part of their trajectories of instructional practice, taken up to servespecific goals. Al used simulation activities and assigned one or two multiple choice conceptquestions during class, polling using “ABCD cards” and using a form of peer instruction (Mazur,1997). His goal was to uncover and support students’ conceptual thinking. This practice providedan easy entry point for Al’s use of the CW; he simply substituted the tool’s ConcepTests andpolling features for his previous method.

Therefore, heterogeneousstudent teams were purposefully assembled so that participants had diverse knowledge /experience levels and diverse backgrounds (e.g., race, social-economic, majors).The project included ten weeks of on-campus robotics research experience.

While engineering codes of ethicsdo not necessarily mobilize care, as Warford [2] notes, that does not make care unimportant:“The absence of care from the most visible normative value statements in the profession... isproblematic.” Indeed, care is increasingly visible in engineering education scholarship. Even as itemerges as an important mode of discussion and action, care is an unstable category andmobilized to mean different things in different contexts.Though care may not be present in many statements about the profession, engineering educationscholars are writing about it.
