underrepresented or marginalized groups. This study is part of a broader initiative at our college to examine accessibility of engineering degrees and how our engineering programs can better support students from underrepresented populations. Introduction Seattle University is in the midst of a multi‐year project to develop programs and policies to better support students from underrepresented populations in engineering and computer science. Previous work examined data on undergraduate students who were enrolled in the four engineering majors in the College of Science and Engineering (CSE) for any part of their time at Seattle University. Barriers to students’ successfully completing degrees in these programs were analyzed, including examining the
University Dr. Nadia Kellam is Associate Professor in the Polytechnic Engineering Program at Arizona State Uni- versity. Prior to this position, she was an Associate Professor at the University of Georgia, where she was co-director of the interdisciplinary engineering education research Collaborative Lounge for Un- derstanding Society and Technology through Educational Research (CLUSTER). In her research, she is interested in understanding how engineering students develop their professional identity, the role of emo- tion in student learning, and synergistic learning. A recent research project uncovers the narratives of exemplary engineering faculty who have successfully transitioned to student-centered teaching

also based on its perceivedrelevance toward my research topic, as previously discussed. If I’m working on non-disability-related projects, I feel it less salient and relevant to my research and will not disclose. However,in my current research area of exploring identity formation in undergraduate civil engineeringstudents who experience disability, I often feel the need to disclose my disability, particularly asa way to justify my interactions with participants and key themes that I pull from my data. While the decision to disclose may sound straightforward and steadfast, it can be quitecomplex, confusing, and risky. Not only is positionality a statement to orient the reader towardyour research lens, but it also identifies an identity
