educational resources (OER) in alleviating financial strain, improving student engagement, and enhancing learning experiences in engineering education.I ntroduction Engaging in continuous improvement is a good practice for any course, and providing instructors with the tools to make effective data-driven changes can enhance student learning[1]. In engineering education, there has been a call to make changes to curricula and learning experiences to ensure that engineering students are ready to meet the complex challenges of the future[2]. This is compounded by the looming enrollmentcliff in higher education, where fewer students are expected to pursue higher education

minoritizedidentities from their engineering identities [1], identity scholarship has long established thatstudents’ experiences, activities, relationships, and environments outside the classroom cansignificantly influence how they engage with, interpret, and learn material in the classroom.One potential reason behind the limited diversification of the engineering workforce could be thetendency to acknowledge only the social and psychological effects of marginalization instead oflooking at cognitive effects on student learning, thereby only considering one aspect of thelearner. This paper considers the whole learner using a method known as “thinking with theory”[2] to theoretically examine the implications and impacts of navigating marginalized andminoritized

; threshold concepts; undergraduate education; cognitiveapprenticeship model; STEM computational toolsIntroductionHow students learn and how to facilitate this process are long-standing questions in education ingeneral. Efforts to develop formal pedagogical frameworks to identify specific roadblocks andaddress them are prevalent in engineering education research. Some strategies that have shownincreased performance in engineering students include cooperative learning, active learningclassrooms, flipped-courses, and interactive assignments [1]. Some of these strategies are easier toimplement in the context of engineering courses, while others require more intentional design toaccomplish the desired learning outcomes of a given course.Chemical

Fislake [3] and Heine [4] add that these developmentsare merely a result of the cumulative effect of individual decisions. As a result, despite interest,talent, and a positive self-image of expected technical skills, there is a lack of enthusiasm for STEMcareers and studies.To address the problem, policymakers, business, academia and civil society are attempting toaddress the STEM skills gap through a variety of activities to promote sustained interest intechnical careers and to
