the discussion, the facilitator asked if thefacial jewelry led to certain assumptions by the students. It is important to keep a sense of humorin this discussion and the facilitator to be comfortable with hearing untrue or unfair stereotypesbased on their appearance. By keeping it light and laughing or agreeing with the assumptions,students feel able to be more honest in their biases about the facilitator. This kind of discussionmay be more difficult for students to have with an authority figure and so faculty may need to bemindful of this as they are preparing for such a discussion. Similarly, this discussion may bedifficult for faculty members whose career is subject to students’ evaluations. Future study couldexplore the effect of having a

socialrelationships and an understanding of social issues is extremely valuable for the development ofengineering students. Unfortunately, engineering programs emphasize the technical content sointensely that most engineering students do not get the opportunity to work with social issuesthus never creating that awareness.The focus on technical aspects of engineering, and the perception that engineering work isobjective, has also led engineering students to think about the profession as apolitical [8, 9].This depoliticization frames engineering as a technical space where the social and politicalsides are tangential to engineering decision-making. Cech argued that students'conceptualization of engineering as apolitical has also created issues related to

’ funds of knowledge related to their students’ confidence in theirengineering performance, classroom belonging, and in graduating with an engineering degree.Samuelson & Litzler [18] utilized the concept of community cultural wealth, based on the workof Tara J. Yosso [19], which uses an asset-based approach to understand minoritized studentpersistence by examining different types of capital developed by students in their families andcommunities. Martin and Newton [20] combined the concepts of funds of knowledge andcommunity cultural wealth to connect together multiple forms of capital and wealth presentamong recent underrepresented and/or socially marginalized engineering Bachelor’s degreeearners.These forms of community cultural wealth have

strategize this way. Pre-tenure faculty or graduate students would not be wise to contact some track coordinatorsbecause, depending on the conference, this can get early-career scholars blackballed or labeled as“difficult,” especially white women and scholars of color. Similarly, early-career scholars cannotalways risk withdrawing a paper that has been accepted for publication simply because thereviewer doesn’t accept their methodological or linguistic choices.Second, the power of the reject in most cases (as in this one) is that it is a coalitional move—thepurpose of a reveal is to seek out others who might be willing to work with you to replace unjustbehaviors, procedures, etc. In this case, the lead author was able to reveal directly to

. Homero Murzi is an engineering educator with 15 years of experience interacting withundergraduate engineering students. He has worked most of his academic career to improve theway students learn engineering concepts by making sure they are engaged and their personalexperiences are valued in the classroom. He is originally from Venezuela where he worked for11 years as a faculty member at a public technical university. Here in the U.S., he has alsoworked at a predominantly white institution and interacted as well as experienced how studentsfrom traditionally marginalized populations have barriers to become engineers. He hasintentionally tried to be aware of how to develop more inclusive experiences in both his researchand teaching practices, while

This decision resulted in an incredibly harmful outcome forMathiae, who expressed a great deal of concern for incoming mathematics students who mightshare a similar identity to zir. Ze also mentioned that the decision to leave mathematics had anadverse effect on zirs relationship with zirs family, who strongly desired for Mathiae to pursue aSTEM degree. The culmination of trauma that ensued from this incident exacerbated by theineffective “allyship” displayed by the administration weighed so heavily on Mathiae that zebecame observably upset during our interview.Coping StrategiesNavigating power structures within the STEM institution had an adverse effect on theparticipants’ mental health.
