-origin.With regards to the term “immigrant parentage,” it is used to distinguish between participantsborn to two immigrant parents and those born to one or no immigrant parents; this distinction isrelevant as the findings of past research suggests that the former group (individuals born to twoimmigrant parents) may possess a unique academic advantage (Thomas, 2009).Study LimitationsHere, we address a few limitations to our study. First, we do not take into account time period ofenrollment and its impact on the experiences of Black engineering students with faculty. So, forexample, we do not explore emergent differences in the responses of Blacks who graduated withengineering degrees in the 1970s and those who graduated in the 2000s. Second, given the

education. In addition, she has completed several graduate-level courses in the Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. Dr. Morrison’s public policy master’s thesis was a research study on diversity policy in the Center for Aviation Studies and whether or not that policy impacted students’ considerations for leaving the academic program. Her expertise is in curriculum de- velopment, especially as it pertains to women and underrepresented minorities in education. Dr. Morrison takes an interdisciplinary approach to research, using both qualitative and quantitative methods that were informed by her background in education and public policy. c American Society for Engineering Education

itself to “topic-chaining” instruction which has been found to be particularly effective for URMs [21] -[25].Topic chaining pertains to the need to build towards complex topics by relating previous learningexperiences to future ones while also introducing relevant context. MethodsThe current case study is part of a larger National Science Foundation (NSF) grant funded(1734878) study concerning engineering identity development among middle school youth andpostsecondary engineering students in a summer intervention program. The study alsoinvestigates how early-career math and science teachers draw upon content learned in theprogram to adopt culturally responsive STEM pedagogy for application in their
