With a growing number of Hispanic immigrants in Virginia,institutions are recognizing the need to create more organizations and programs that celebrateand support Latin X cultures (VT Cultural and Community Centers, n.d.). Considering ourpositionality as engineering and computing education researchers, we are specifically interestedin how the engineering and computing communities within the institutions (micro level) aredoing their part to engage and serve the communities they were intended to support as defined inFigure 1. In the context of engineering and computing education, we draw out the presence ofservingness at three different types of top universities in Virginia: Hampton University, VirginiaPolytechnic University, and

This panelwill include individuals who were awarded the mini-grants and will discuss their work during and after the periodof the grant. Specifically, they will discuss lessons they learned during their collaborations, including what did anddid not work as they built their collaborations, that could be applied to other groups seeking to work together toincrease diversity and inclusion in engineering education.Moderator: Elizabeth Cady, National Academy of EngineeringPanelists: Shernita Lee, Virginia Tech Jacqueline McDermott, Purdue

as a way of reclaiming our ways of being after our forced removal toIndian Territory in the mid-1800s (Conley 2007). Early treaties with the U.S. government oftenemphasized that education “appropriate” for Indigenous students would be provided as part of the terms(Klug & Whitfield, 2003). However, education was then turned into a weapon used against IndigenousNations by the U.S. government as a means to force their assimilation (Brayboy, 2005). The Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative ran from 1819 to 1969 and consisted of 408 schools across37 states including 21 schools in Alaska and 7 schools in Hawaii (Newland, 2022). These schools had acommon goal of assimilating Indigenous children through education and they pursued that goal
structural racism (Rahming, 2022), is one that is incredibly hard toshatter and break through. In the United States, Black students in STEM face a range ofchallenges, from academic to social, that often relate to a key part of their identity; beingBlack. Research highlights the fact that in U.S. society, the social construction of Blackness isone that creates a one-dimensional view of Black people, a view that allows the majority tolump all Black people together in a monolithic oneness, ignoring differences such as ethnicityand nationality (Fries-Britt et al., 2014; Mwangi et al., 2019). This aggregated approach tounderstanding Black people’s experiences demonstrates the lack of exploration of other keyfacets of Black identity. While several studies

While we were screening these papers, we also found that someother papers may not include Asian American students in the research questions but did includethem in the findings. In these cases, Asian American students were often treated as a“comparison group.” We further included these six papers that only met criteria 2 and 3 in Table2 in Appendix. In the analysis, we included papers in Table 1 and Table 2. In other words, onlynine out of 138 papers were included in the analysis.

education STEMfields (context)?Research Question 2 is: How do women of color (population) in higher educationSTEM fields (context) define and realize academic success? For both research questions, data will be analyzed as collected (time) untilwe have met both theoretical and data saturation, wherein responses do notunearth new information and all aspects of the KEEN framework (EngineeringUnleashed, 2022) have been incorporated. 81. Descriptive phenomenology - focuses on the pure description of people’s lived experiences.2. To gather appropriate data, we are currently using focus groups and interviews with women of color in STEM disciplines.3
18This theme was selected because language andterminology are integral parts of STEM cultureand oftenreflect larger social structures and power dynamics. Thelanguage, rhetoric, metaphors, and key terminologywithin STEM fields shape accessibility and inclusion inthose fields as well research approaches and solutions.For example, in computing, engineering, and technology,the commonly used terminology of master/slave to referto primary and secondary parts and male/female to referto “mating” connectors reflect problematic metaphorssteeped in white supremacy as well as sexism andheteronormativity (Eglash, 2007; Fiormonte, Chaudhuri, 19& Ricaurte, 2022; Miller et al., 2021).While the
from academia into employment is one that is not wellunderstood or documented (Cannady, Greenwald, & Harris, 2014; Cross et al., 2017, Metcalf,2010). This transition is further complicated by the recent global shifts in workforce trends andmassive changes to workers’ attitudes about work during and immediately after the COVID-19pandemic (McArdle et al., 2007; Russell & Frachtenberg, 2021). Most scholarship on early-career engineers focus on career choice and perceptions of engineering students, where genderand other demographic groups are compared (Naukkarinen & Bairoh, 2022). Additionally, other 1scholars examine misalignment of
resources available tothem. Offices such as counseling services, career and professional development, undergraduateresearch, and study abroad lead presentations and take time to answer student questions aboutservice offerings and resources. Additionally, students attend weekly seminars led by facultyabout their research and attend academic coaching sessions led by engineering graduate studentseach week about topics such as study skills, time management, and professional development. The 2022 Virginia Tech SBP had 60 participants total, one of which departed the programin Week 3 due to a family emergency. The demographic data on gender was collected on the SBPapplication and self-reported by the students for housing purposes. The demographic
