indicated that students had gained competencies with social media for connectingwith friends and family, but needed more practice with IT tools that they will use in the rapidlyevolving work environment. Students indicated that they have continued to use onlinecollaboration tools and skills learned through the VPTs when they returned to their homeuniversities after completion of the summer REU program. While further development of theVPT concept is warranted to address specific student learning outcomes, results imply thatstudents’ experiences had a positive impact on their use of these tools and their confidence to usethem in future professional interactions involving virtual collaboration.Virtual TeamsEngineering graduates entering today’s

However, if these projects are created without a social justiceframework, or undertaken without appropriate student training, they can often reify the inequitiesthey seek to resolve. When students are motivated by a “design-for-charity” mindset, they maydevise effective short-term solutions to a specific technical challenge, but fail to adequatelyimplement a successful long-term resolution [1]. These projects can often have a paternalisticquality, in which engineering students, outsiders to the community, decide upon the best courseof action for community members without taking into consideration the community members’needs, goals, or desires [2

For example, codes related to recognizing personal biases were grouped, whilethose about actionable strategies against systemic racism were categorized separately. 3)Development of Final Themes. In the final phase, the categories developed during axial codingwere synthesized into overarching themes. These themes represented the core insights derivedfrom the data, reflecting students’ understanding and personal engagement with the issues ofsystemic racism and hostile design. The iterative process of developing and refining themesfollowed best practices in qualitative research, ensuring a rigorous and
