deliveryof an engineered product, process, or service (Chowdhury & Murzi, 2019) . Consequently, thesocial interactions of professionals within and between teams constitute a large proportion ofengineering work by time and importance. As a result, teamwork is an essential competencyfor engineering graduates who will need to interact with professionals from varyingbackgrounds to bring engineering work to fruition(Murzi et al., 2020).Nonetheless, the experiences of Black male engineers in teams have been understudied (Cross& Paretti, 2020). As a result, there is a gap in the ways we understand the contributions ofBlack men to engineering teams, their positionality within engineering teams, and the obstaclesor opportunities they face when

(ABET) is “anability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create acollaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.”Teamwork skills are valued by future employers as an important skill set. However, teamwork isnot always well defined. Perusich et al [1] has defined teamwork as 1.) the ability to beinterdependent in tasks, 2.) to share responsibility for outcomes, and 3.) to work together as anintact social entity. Shuman et al [2] defined teamwork skills to include the ability to solicitinput from the team, the ability to build consensus and resolve conflicts, and leadership skills.Chowdhury and Murzi [3] defined teamwork by a set of attributes including: shared
