While “The Masters tools will never dismantle Master’s house”[30], if we do not identify the ways that White normative messages perpetuate and operates overPOC bodies or through subconscious ways through the guise of professionalism and standards inthe classroom, there will be no sustained change. This paper explored these subtle but real differences—the ways that the HC can and isbeing utilized to either passively push the normalization of engineering education, or activelysubvert the normalization of Whiteness and patriarchy by individuals. Lest we forget, thepowerful will not release their stranglehold on power without conceiving of a way to regain whathad been lost [31].Future Implications Due to the normalization of dominant
between teachers and students are rooted in the organizationalculture of the given university. Their study closely examined the culture surrounding what theycall professor avoidance, which is characterized by students consulting their peers or theteaching assistant, if necessary, and ultimately excluding the professor from the list of potentialcontacts that could guide them. Failure to engage in active teacher-student interactions deprivesstudents of “crucial opportunities for (1) mentorship, guidance, and advice, and (2) developinginterpersonal and networking skills with the ‘adult’ technical experts in their lives” [12] (p. 683)that will enhance the learning experience as they master their courses.The oft-described dissonance between the

challengethat students had to face, but over time they came to take it as a benefit as well.The second challenge of having different approaches to problem solving was the lack of toolsdue to different curricula. The students reported that there were challenges in mastering thetopics covered. This was due to the methodology they had used for their learning. In addition,being from different majors, they had different bases which opened certain gaps in the othermajor’s fundamentals. This can be explained as a lack of deepening in the fundamentals behindthe exercises that they solved. This phenomenon was expressed with the following quotes:"Architecture students sometimes did not have all the tools to solve a problem. For example,trigonometry, finding

The conducted researchprojects, along with names and affiliations of the mentors, are listed in Table II.To capitalize on students’ initial excitement on being selected to benefit research, we asked ourfaculty mentors to send an email to the students shortly after the students are selected towelcome them into their lab. The notes usually include attachments or links to papers relatedto the student’s future research project. This helps the students develop a sense of belonging tothe program even before they started the program.

include assessing the current state of the curriculum and thecurrent level of student cognition regarding the new concepts introduced in these PEOs. Forcurriculum assessment, we are initiating a 3-phase PEO mapping study. Periodic ABET reviewrequires mapping the PEOs against the required undergraduate classes. We have typicallyperformed a 3-level mapping assessment (Introduce, Reinforce, Master) for our ABET reviewsto document how key concepts develop over the curriculum [16], [17]. Since the new PEOs weredeveloped subsequent to our most recent ABET review, we have not yet performed this type ofmapping study for the new PEOs. Conducting this study of the new PEOs may be challengingbecause of the inclusion of more affective domain concepts such as

A few online homework providers such as Wiley,Pearson, and McGraw-Hill have enhanced these systems to be more adaptive and are nowrebranded into WileyPlus, Mastering, and LearnSmart. Other providers
their chosen actions will helpthem improve. The extended prompting would encourage students to question the strategies theyused in the past and whether or not they were effective, as well as consider why new strategiesmay be more effective in mastering material than those they previously used. Anotherexplanation could be that students are not taught how to reflect and why critical reflection isimportant due to the stigma that reflective skills are less important/useful than technical skills[12]. Teaching students what critical reflection is and the strategies they can use to reach deeplevels could lead to greater numbers of reflective responses demonstrating high-levelmetacognitive strategies.VII.

initiate the bulk of their learning activitiesthemselves (e.g., viewing asynchronous lecture videos, participating in online discussions, andmanaging group work remotely) [3]. For most students, self-directed learning skills are not inherent but instead must befostered through (a) the development of agency (i.e., awareness of one’s own competence), and(b) effective coaching in productivity and teamwork. Developing such a skillset requires thatstudents master the ability to make emotional connections among theoretical concepts [4], whichmeans that engineering educators need to engage students at cognitive and emotional levels inauthentic, meaningful, and immersive learning experiences.
