Therefore, mostengineering students who transfer from community colleges do not take lower-divisionengineering courses and, on average, transfer students must attend two to three
global scales, students tended to choose answers that were more central, withaverage values close to 3 for all responses. Answers trending toward the center likely suggeststudents had lower confidence in their answers and wanted to select an option that seemed“safe.” Comparing local to global scale responses, global scale responses tended to be slightlylower, suggesting a trend toward engineering projects favoring developing countries. Theseresponses may be due to messaging many young engineers receive, of engineering being a toolfor sustainable development and technologic advancement locally and in other countries [24].Collectively, these results suggest an opportunity to more explicitly address the social justicequestion of “who benefits and

activity thatcan be done in any classroom or learning environment. The design thinking process incorporatesmaking concepts, where students engage in hands-on learning experiences, often fabricating aphysical product using basic crafting materials or utilizing making technologies. Makerspacesare a natural fit for design thinking concepts to be facilitated, as they provide space for creativepursuits with fabrication equipment, including 3D printers, laser engravers, sewing machines andmore [14].Makerspace environments foster creativity and innovation and provide alternate ways to learnand engage with course content, especially when linked to the engineering disciplines [14].Makerspaces are a valuable tool for an academic institution, especially
foster a sense of belonging withintheir chosen disciplines and the wider academic community [1-3]. Empirical studies byHanauer [4], Kaufman et al. [5], and Whitcomb et al.

This relationship is especially evident in Science, Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), where a heightened sense of belonging and elevatedself-efficacy are linked to superior academic achievements [7-8].Educators play a pivotal role in this dynamic, employing student-centered pedagogicalapproaches that include group work, reflective exercises, peer discussions, and constructivefeedback.

engineers design technologies or solveproblems. Take for example the problematic use of face recognition technologies for policing ofcommunities of color [44]. These technologies are claimed to be race-neutral when they are, infact, aimed at defining what safety and security mean under the premise of benevolence but witha clear racial animus [44]. Adding to the list of colorblind ideologies in engineering spaces is that of enacting certainpractices in engineering classrooms in the name of pedagogical benefit or benevolence withoutquestioning racial bias. Some examples include placement of emergent bilinguals into LimitedEnglish Proficiency (LEP) programs where STEM education is seen as tangential from languageinstruction [45] rather than
