engineering and socially just engineering. As we synthesize theliterature and our arguments across these levels, we also consider how equitable practices at anyone level reinforces equitable practices at the others. Envisioning socially just engineeringeducation requires thinking within and across all three of these levels.Macro Level Organization of Engineering for EquityEngineering for equity and social justice involves a recognition of the ideologies shapingengineering and the orientations that engineering has towards society. Historically, science andengineering have been shaped by ideologies that are technocratic and exclusionary, oftensubversively framed as rationalistic (Bazzul & Tolbert, 2019; Gravel et al., 2021; Gunckel &Tolbert

The demographic makeup of Bridge participants (Tables 2 and3) is representative of Wright College’s student body. The main discrepancy is observed in genderdemographics, as Wright College enrollment consists of more than 50% women. Thisunderrepresentation of females is consistent with national engineering enrollment trends [24].Table 2. Contextualized Bridge participants’ demographics by race and ethnicityTable 3.

show that BIPOC students had an immediate increase in their withdraw rates during COVID, depicted in Figure 1, while White students had a decrease in their withdraw rates, depicted in Figure 2. This trend is particularly alarming because historically before COVID, BIPOC withdraw rates were lower than White students withdraw rates. However, during COVID, BIPOC students withdraw rates were higher than White students. Further investigation revealed that when comparing withdrawn students by race, student classification, and residential status pre-COVID (Spring 2017-Fall 2019) and during COVID (Spring 2020-Spring 2022), BIPOC Sophomores and BIPOC residential student populations saw large proportional increases in total number of withdrawn
