Prior to joining ASU she was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Georgetown University in
freshman year of their engineering curriculum. At the end of the freshman yearthe reported values of self-efficacy, the intrinsic value of learning engineering, and the utility valueof engineering all decreased from the initial values reported when students entered their freshmanyear. This research also showed that intrinsic interest in engineering and the utility value ofengineering were better predictors of career path than self-efficacy.1.2 Brief Description of AcES ProgramThe Academy of Engineering Success (AcES) program was established in 2012 to increaseretention of students who are traditionally underrepresented in engineering with the goal ofultimately diversifying the engineering workforce. The program has been funded through an NSFS-STEM

Rather than competition for traditional schooling, informalscience education organizations, such as museums, play a complementary role in enhancingstudents’ interest and exposure to STEM learning. For example, field trips are a commonintersection between informal science education and schools that most educators believe areworthwhile for student learning (Anderson, Kisiel, & Storksdieck, 2006; Cox-Peterson, Marsh,Kisiel, & Melber, 2003; Kisiel, 2005). Trips to places like science centers, natural historymuseums, zoos, etc. “have the potential to situate learning within a rich and
sustain the new development in manufacturing processes and technologies, it iscritically important that there is skilled workforce to support the industry. Prior research haspointed to a talent gap in manufacturing industry (Javdekar et al., 2016). To that end, multipleinitiatives are taking place on different levels. For example, at the industry level, many initiativesare being taken by the companies to bridge this gap, such as upskilling the current workforcethrough continuing education (Nepal et al., 2019), or partnering with an academic institution indeveloping appropriate program or curriculum (Nepal et al., 2016; Seemakula et al., 2010). At theuniversity level, besides offering academic degree programs in manufacturing or similar

addressing the STEM workforce development has been to increase the representation ofunder-represented communities like African-American and in particular, African-Americanwomen (Landivar, 2013). The Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), which arechronically underfunded (Palmer et al., 2010), have been largely responsible for addressing theSTEM workforce disparity among Black aspirants (Palmer et al., 2010 and Perna et al., 2009).Although, the burden on HBCUs for addressing workforce disparity is overwhelming, the STEMinitiatives undertaken by them may be the most impactful in addressing this concern (Palmer etal., 2010).

The research wassituated within a retrospective analysis using data from a single course taught by the author(2010-2019). The case study site was an Introduction to Civil Engineering course taught at alarge, public institution; in 2012-2016 the course was co-taught with Introduction toArchitectural Engineering. The course was required for entering first-year students majoring inthese disciplines. The learning goals of the course emphasized describing these engineeringdisciplines and the role of ethics, sustainability, and professional licensure.A

universityfaculty, particularly those in STEM fields are not familiar with these terms. Therefore, the firststep in establishing the faculty development program was to develop a definition for culturallyresponsive pedagogy.In order to gain buy-in from stakeholders, our definition of CRP needed to be culturallyresponsive to the existing administration and faculty of Angelo State University. To do this, webuilt upon the work of Ladson-Billings (1995, 2014), Gay (2002, 2010), Wlodkowski &Ginsberg (1995), and Castaneda and Mejia (2018) but couched our definition in the concept ofstudent centeredness (a familiar term on our campus), and in the context of the university’smission statement. The CRP definition developed for the campus is: Culturally
