the engineering major [25].Simultaneously however, students’ need to “escape” from the stresses of engineering also raisesquestions in our minds about the cultures of engineering. We wonder whether it is seemingly“right” that students are forced to “leave” and be something else separate from being engineersrather than being able to bring their holistic selves into engineering. Our work will explore andaddress the above claims and concerns amongst our broader participant pool. We hope to create ahypothesis about engineering undergraduate students' involvement in engineering-adjacentactivities, furthering our understanding of how these activities affect their motivations.AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to acknowledge the contributions of

We aim to provideinsight into the institution's role in facilitating thriving for Black engineering students at PWIs.IntroductionThe experience of Black students in engineering programs at predominantly White institutions (PWIs) isrife with inequities in participation and racial stereotypes about ability and competence [1-4]. WhileBlack students navigate their way to success in engineering programs not created with them in mind,they often survive rather than thrive [5-6].

applicability of Tuckman’s model in student engineering multiculturalteams, several lessons are valuable for instructors to consider. Firstly, it is significant to providea welcoming and supportive learning space to allow student to learn in and with teams.Secondly, instructors could cultivate a positive environment, and growth-oriented and equity-minded protocols to acknowledge the possibility of team conflicts and prepare to suggest conflictresolution strategies. Similarly, instructors also want to encourage students to trust theirteammates and allow them to improve. Lastly, instructors could guide students to reflect on theirteamwork experiences to identify the areas to enhance and work on them. References

essential for developing an agile and adaptable mind in the 21st century, wheretechnology is ubiquitous. The importance of CT is reflected in the growing interest in exploringits potential role in various fields, including engineering. While CT in engineering education hasbeen discussed in previous research, there needs to be more understanding of how CT may differin the context of different engineering disciplines. Rich qualitative research on how studentsengage in CT and engineering can show how they can support each other [5]. Research has beenconducted to investigate the implementation of CT in middle school education internationally.The studies emphasize the importance of CT in interdisciplinary education to foster students'critical thinking

American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) has also proposed a set of coreprinciples stipulating that engineering learning may be considered three dimensional with a focuson engineering habits of mind (e.g., creativity, iteration, collaboration), engineering practices(design, optimization, constraint assessment), and engineering knowledge (principles, problemsolving, and technological outputs) [5]. This approach diverges from the way STEM hastypically been taught in U.S. middle schools, where science and engineering principles are rarelyanchored in relevant phenomena [6]. Since teachers often assume the main responsibility forimplementing engineering tasks in their classrooms to comply with the widespread focus onSTEM integration, they may

learning goals for pre-college engineering are stillbeing contested. One argument, which is promoted in science standards, is that engineeringdesign provides an authentic context to apply science concepts [4] [5] [6]. However, others arguethat this represents too narrow a view of engineering and promotes misconceptions [7] [8]. Inresponse to these concerns, the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) andAdvancing Excellence in P12 Engineering Education introduced a Framework for P-12Engineering Learning [9]. This framework outlines learning goals for engineering literacy thatmove beyond a narrow focus on practices, including engineering habits of mind and knowledge.In addition, the authors call for further research to scaffold learning

While these students may be moreopen-minded in the classroom, first-generation students require a higher sense of belonging tosucceed in college [3], potentially because they have no prior experience with or knowledge ofcollege.
