However, teachers with astrong background in engineering often focus on learning specific subject matter andcompleting a technical work rather than developing students’ learning competences.To address
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 author’s previous institution (TU), one of the most recognized HBCUs in the U.S.(Rankings, 2019), admits a
