The ability to act as an effective team member and leader is critical forengineering graduates entering industry, business or other career paths. Accordingly, theCanadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB) has designated teamwork as one of thetwelve attributes engineering students must possess upon graduation3. Similarly, ABET hasincluded the “ability to function on multi-disciplinary skills” in its set of professional skills4.In our experience as engineering educators, based on observations as well as employer andstudent exit surveys, the traditional academic setting cannot give sufficient experiences forreasonable

In such a “color-blind” perspective, individual characteristics should play no role inscientific work. However, significant amounts of research demonstrate that no person is “color-blind”31. Additionally, faculty may not be influenced by the theoretical developments explainingthe importance of students’ identities28. Due to the lack of exploration of social aspects ofengineering, conversations centered around normative and non-normative values are almost non-existent. Limited conversations about students identities and cultural norms allows the dominanttraits of the field's practitioners to perpetuate despite evidence indicating a need for
