to technology-richenvironments like makerspaces for traditionally underserved youth in engineering. Several pro-Makerspace actors purport that having experiences in such open-ended project-based settings canencourage engagement with engineering. However, as we know from prior work in the area,simply providing access to technology-rich spaces does not allow underserved youth to feelownership and belonging in both makerspaces and engineering environments. Additionally,formal and informal engineering education experiences do not center on preventing harm tocommunities and the environment in engineering work. Not only do future generations ofengineers need to reduce the harm caused by engineering and technology proactively, but harmreduction

practicing engineers need to be aware of, and competent in, to createsolutions that take into consideration structural conditions, reduce risks and minimize harm tounderserved communities, and enhance human capability [4], [5]. We then analyzed these notesand instructor responses using a linguistic and cultural lens and framework of student successsupported by awareness of diversity, equity, and inclusion.Results: Preliminary results show that faculty are already incorporating social impacts intoengineering education through discourse and rhetorical strategies used in lectures and coursediscussion through three fundamental methods: modeling the limitations of their own personalexpertise, positioning humans as more important than technology, and
relationships with engineering can support them in navigating the dynamics ofmarginalization [7]. However, there is a lack of investigation into how engineering learningenvironments can be designed to facilitate students’ (re)negotiation with these relationships.Making, defined by Sheridan et al. [8] as a process to develop an idea and construct it into somephysical or digital form, can be a space for rich transdisciplinary engineering learning andpractice [9] [10]. Making is a form of “heterogeneous engineering” [11] - engineering thatemphasizes not only the technical aspect, but also the social, material, and political dynamics[12]. Making as heterogeneous engineering resists the marginalizing narratives that technology isthe sole important aspect of

In addition, Mr. Halkiyo is interested in broadening the participation of engineering edu- cation in Ethiopian universities to increase the diversity, inclusivity, equity, and quality of Engineering Education. He studies how different student groups such as women and men, rich and poor, students from rural and urban, and technologically literate and less literate can have quality and equitable learning experiences and thrive in their performances. In doing so, he focuses on engineering education policies and practices in teaching and learning processes, assessments, laboratories, and practical internships. Mr. Halkiyo has been

major, engineering students tend to leave engineering programs due to the lack offocus on social impact and not centering change necessary for more inclusivity [10]. For thisreason, it is important diversity, equity, inclusion and justice work in conjunction with ethicaltenants within civil engineering curricula. Definitions are important to understanding the scopeof this work. The American Society of Civil Engineers pulls from two sources for the definitionof diversity, equity, inclusion and justice. We will use the definition of diversity, equity andinclusion as defined by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology [11].

In particular, Chen and Buell discuss how Asian(American) immigrant womenformed the backbone of the semiconductor industry by working in Silicon Valley-basedfactories, and Asian(American) men
