. (2017) describe geoscience projects in civil engineering in partnershipwith Native American communities, demonstrating how STEM education can be made more relevant bygrounding it in students' lived experiences. Fick et al. (2013) also highlight using project-based learningin civil engineering capstone courses to engage Native American students, showing how place-basededucation promotes academic success and cultural pride. Programs in rural and Indigenous schools havefurther strengthened engineering pathways by incorporating culturally relevant projects. For example,Boz et al. (2024) describe technology-rich engineering experiences that combine traditional knowledgewith modern STEM concepts, helping students see the relevance of engineering in
