, Steven described a desire to “travel more as itis my main goal in life on top of pursuing a career in engineering.”Concluding Discussion Although literature suggests that experiential global learning programs positively impactstudent outcomes, not all student groups are equally represented in global programs. As we havediscussed, some student groups remain systematically excluded from global programs inengineering, including prospective transfer students and students from low SES or first-generation backgrounds. Experiences of these students are underexplored largely because of theminimal representation of these groups in global programs. Thus, this paper illuminated theexperiences of prospective transfer students from low SES backgrounds

Transgender and gender nonconforming students are often written about throughdeficit framing which define their lives in terms of their trauma or perceived academic failure[13, 18].

Latinx students, engineering educators have a unique opportunity toapply their engineering design expertise to innovate the educational experience of their students. InDesign Thinking, one key feature is the emphasis on user engagement and developing a deepunderstanding of a user’s needs, environment, and assets [7]. Educators, as educational designers, shouldfirst seek to understand the unique characteristics of the students in their programs. This process ofdeveloping a deeper understanding of one’s students can result in educational experiences that supportstudent learning by meeting students where they are [8] and connecting to themes, ideas, and topics thatare relevant to the student and their desired career trajectory [9].While the
