We prioritized alignment along racial identities during datacollection to prioritize the comfort of co-constructors, and we were intentional, individually andcollectively, in considering our simultaneous insider / outsider perspectives during the meaningmaking process. We considered the diversity of identities and reflection about them during ourprocess to be a strength and an example of our explicit consideration of ourselves, researchers, asinstruments (Secules, et al. 2021).

development of technology [18]. These values tend to reflect the interests andneeds of those who have historically held power in society [16, 20, 22].The idea that technology is not neutral and is designed by humans also brings to questiondeterministic narratives of technology. Technological determinism assumes that technologydevelops in a self propelling fashion, where new technology is inevitable and humans mustsimply accept and adapt to it [23]. This framing absolves the creators of any responsibility inanticipating harm and designing to mitigate the negative impacts of the technology they design[17]. As technology is created by people, who live and work in societies, it inherently embodiesthe social norms, ideologies, and practices of societies

It would be informative to get a premeasure at the very beginning of the semester in addition to a pre measure at the beginning of thefinal design project to see how students’ identity changes across the course of the semester. Wealso believe that having students periodically reflect on their engineering experiences andprogress through written exercises might also help them recognize their personal growth and anychanges in their SE or identity. This is what we have implemented in our ongoing replicationstudy, which had 11 students enrolled Spring 2023 and has over 20 students enrolled for Fall2023.We thought that non-electrical

Second, such reflection and assessment may guide the next steps in policy andpractice that address thematic barriers to college attendance and attainment for this population.Future work may include an examination of active duty and student veteran graduate students.There has been a growing body of work with a focus on undergraduate student

actualpractice. A key finding of a Royal Academy of Engineering study (2006) is that engineeringcourses need to show how theory is applied to real problems [18]. Students want to know howthe theory is used in actual practice. Most engineering faculty are challenged to show thatconnection because they have not practiced in industry themselves. Failure to provide a suitablelink between theory and practice is de-motivating for students as they want to know what theywill be doing when they graduate and enter the workforce as engineers.A Royal Academy of Engineering report (2007) notes, “universities and industry need to findmore effective ways of ensuring that course content reflects the real requirements of industry andenabling students to gain practical

engineering education contended thatalthough adversity usually refers to major events that cause paralyzing outcomes, it was alsovaluable to recognize more subtle pressure and risk factors as well as their impact on resilience(Hunsu et al., 2021). This view is echoed in our study, which found that when first entering theworkplace, early career engineers were more likely to encounter not major destructive setbacksbut mini-crises or subtle pressure, which nonetheless call for the need of career resilience just aswell. Furthermore, this study found that in the Chinese context, the mini-crises experienced byearly career engineers often reflected not a lack of technical knowledge, but rather, a lack ofrelevant non-cognitive abilities or non-technical
