% of all bachelor’sdegrees in engineering awarded to Black students were conferred by PWIs. Of these, 416 were inmechanical engineering, 432 in electrical engineering and 52 in aerospace engineering [17, p.100].Slaton chronicles the history and continuing legacy of racism against Black students inengineering [18]. Black students at PWIs face the particular challenge of being under representedon campus and in their classes, which can lead to stress, lower grades, isolation, and exhaustion[19]- [22]. Students in Fries-Britt and Turner’s study describe feelings of isolation andexhaustion based on the need to educate their White peers or to represent the Black experience.The participants attribute this not to hostility from their White peers, but

exposed to information about what engineers actually do in various disciplines and industries. This information can help to shape the student’s major interests. In past summer bridge programs, studentswould all attend one industry tour together. As the cohort grew, this model becamechallenging, as many industry partners could not accommodate large groups. Studentswere not as engaged with the company if they did not have an interest in that type ofwork or if the company did not hire from their major. The summer bridge redesignincluded four different industry options on the same day. Students were broken out bymajor and interest to attend a tour with Ball Aerospace, Medtronic, Zayo, or GH PhippsConstruction. Feedback from both industry

University of Florida in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Currently, I teach in the School of Chemical, Biological, and Environmental Engineering at Oregon State University. I am responsible for teaching ”Sustainable Engineering”, a course open to all majors at all levels, as well as the senior design sequence in Chemical Engineering. I was fortunate to take part in a 60 hour Difference, Power, and Discrimination Academy at Oregon State University, which led to the development of our current Practitioner Learning Community centered around Inclusive Teaming. I am enthusiastic about incorporating best practices in teaming and teaching to improve the student experience in our School.Trevor Kenneth

Black men and women and Asian men are more likely to choose electrical engineering atthe beginning of college. In general, Black students and Asian and Hispanic men are also morelikely to enroll in computer engineering relative to other engineering disciplines, although atlower rates than electrical engineering [27]. These differences between engineering and scienceand within engineering disciplines highlight particular areas of interest to explore with thisresearch on students’ perceived support in their degree programs.Another factor to consider at the micro
