Further, we know there is industry demandfor graduates with both technical and professional skills who can put those skills to immediateuse in their careers. [5-10]. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) defineprofessional skills as: “problem solving, teamwork, leadership, entrepreneurship, innovation, andproject management” [11]. From this research, we believe a co-teaching model bringing togetherengineering faculty and faculty with expertise in technical communication may improvestudents’ professional communication skills.

I will return to the idea of creating an SELaware classroom in part 5 of the framework.Part 1: Intentional Grouping Almost every career-oriented role requires collaboration skills; setting studentsup for success using intentionally created student-selected groups is an essential startto any culturally aware STEM classroom. Intentional grouping involves several differenttools that help teachers ensure student success. Brown, et al, write: “When teachers aremindful of the important aspects of group dynamics, such as size, ability, gender, andrace, and plan teams accordingly, every student—particularly those from marginalizedbackgrounds—is set up for success [5].” Teachers need to consider the

Given thatengineering is perceived as a career for people who are good at math and science (e.g., [28]) and thedocumented drop in math and science interest, middle school girls are at a critical tipping point wherefuture outreach may be ineffectual.

Despite thebenefits of participating in research, not all students have the time or opportunity to experienceworking in a research lab during their undergraduate careers. In comparison, all students willparticipate in classes as part of their engineering majors, and thus it is important to alsounderstand how class experiences may impact student curiosity and learning.

Abstract Your Voice is Power is a curriculum that seeks to promote racial equity and increaseinterest in computing careers by integrating elements of computing, music, social justice, self-expression, and entrepreneurship. The curriculum consists of five modules lasting 60-90 minuteseach. Students engage with music through lyrical analysis to extract and explore present themesof social justice using the OUTKAST Imagination framework. Students then engage withmusical concepts from a computing perspective to create their own remixes using EarSketch, aweb-based, learn-to-code through music platform developed at Georgia Institute of Technology(Georgia Tech). These elements are further supported by discussions around racial justice andthe
