And because, as Crenshaw explains,30 experiences vary by domain, studies ofAfrican-American women college students more broadly may not effectively address the domainof engineering, where both gender and race are highly visible minority identities. Moreover,these minority positions are reinforced not only in engineering classrooms at predominantlywhite institutions, but in popular culture where engineers are generally shown as white men, suchas Apollo 13 (1995), A Beautiful Mind (2001), and Fantastic 4 (2005). African-American femaleengineers rarely see mirrors of either facet of their identity in fiction or in fact

Thetechnological literacy classes do not delve deeply into many concepts yet students seemed tohave better connectivity between major concepts. They also demonstrated a special passion tofollow up their learning and take actions based on advancing their knowledge in their researchand creating their projects in upper level classes. This is interesting, in particular when onethinks about how they clearly did not like the subject to begin with. With all this in mind, wedecided to see how we could bring the same concepts and use of reflective thinking into theengineering classes. There were challenges, but the effort showed successful
