Paper ID #22801A Transition Community for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students in Engi-neering ProgramsDr. Raja S. Kushalnagar, Gallaudet University c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018A Transition Community for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students inEngineering ProgramsAbstractDeaf and hard of hearing (DHH) students are underrepresented and less successful compared totheir hearing counterparts in Engineering programs, as they tend to have less academic readiness.They also generally have lower ACT scores and lower content knowledge for introductorycourses. DHH students face difficult adjustments in handling the demands and

overarching d e s i g n goal is forEPCC and UTEP together to complete an HSI STEM program “STEMGROW Program:Pathways to Broadening the STEM Workforce” that grows (hence the name “STEMGROW”)Hispanic and low-income student success in STEM education through a partnership betweenUTEP and EPCC [30].In our STEMGROW Program, we will increase the retention of STEM students with disabilities,through strategies to support special needs students’ persistence. Our goal is to grow the numberof students with disabilities in STEM fields at both institutions. Our EPCC Center for Studentswith Disabilities (CSD) is partnering with UTEP’s Center for Accommodations and SupportServices (CASS) to institute the evidence-based interventions to overcome barriers affecting

One studentwho is a member of a URG noted that her research experiences have helped the student tobuild an identity as a budding engineer: “I feel like I do [response to being asked if (s)he feels like (s)he is becoming anengineer], because I’ve done research for so long.

, which indicates that race and races are theproduct of social thought that “invent[s and] manipulate[s]” what can be considered “pseudo-permanent characteristics” for race when convenient by the dominant race, and are “retired”when no longer convenient [8, p. 8-9]. For example, there have been a wide list of categories andcharacteristics used to measure race in the United States that have changed over the years. Peoplecould not self-select their own racial category in the census until after 1960 – instead, they wereassigned a race based on phenotypical and linguistic features that conformed to the censustakers’ conceptual models of race [13]. In some parts of the US, race was assigned primarilybased on skin color and this determined what
