They advise theneed to take a posture of humble learning to create relationships with Indigenous peoples.“Benevolence can be experienced by Indigenous people as relationally oppressive”, it is essentialthat one seek the perspective of the recipient” (9, p.101). In this qualitative study, interviewsrevealed that an understanding of native people, their culture, and their historical background iscrucial and that respect is not shown only through words but also actions. What sets benevolenceapart from humble action is the foundation of a relationship. It is all about having a relationshipfirst.Andrade, M. S.

continue to identify new ways to address theunderrepresentation of women in engineering and STEM. No woman should have to choosebetween work and family. We can’t change the past, but as educators, employers, advocates, andfriends, we can impact the future, one career story at a time. Let’s partner together to helpwomen like Louise find a pathway back to engineering.References[1] C.

This allows for thesis or final project courses, often taught to awide range of undergraduate students, to qualify for AcEq.Academic Equivalency was designed to offer an alternate path for assessment in languages otherthan English, in countries outside the United States and Western Europe. Despite that intent,fourteen of the fifteen academic equivalencies are in the United States. The champions of theseprograms typically pursue AcEq as a way to provide structure to their courses.
