,which revolved around three major themes.Seminar Impact 1: Engaging with CommunitiesAn area of emphasis across multiple seminars was the importance of building relationships withmembers of the community that a project is meant to serve. Those ideas resonated with the Fellows,who expressed that many of the seminars expanded their understanding of what it means to trulywork with communities in meaningful ways. The fellows’ reflections on the seminarsdemonstrated how they are moving beyond the basic view that working with communities isimportant, toward a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics that underlie any partnership: Sometimes, a new technology might sound good to the people who develop it because they have the data and

essential to foster a sense of belonging andreduce dropout rates [5]. Comprehensive DEI initiatives should reflect the needs and experiencesof disabled individuals; however, students with disabilities may have vastly different—or evencontradictory—needs. For example, prior research has found that testing accommodations andsupportive environments are particularly effective in closing the achievement gap for studentswith learning disabilities in higher education [6]. Conversely, other research in the field hasfound that presuming student competence and encouraging students to self-advocate can improvesense of belonging, and therefore retention [7]-[8]. Therefore, it is important to examine disabledstudents not as a monolith, but rather as a diverse

justice is not servicing students. In order to changeperspectives and for students to develop the skills and competencies through a critical lens,integration to solve this challenge is paramount [18].Other barriers were more geared to ensure that the students were able to ease into the discussionsand topics by first understanding their positions through reflexive conversations and writtenwork. The barriers discussed did not reflect impediments geared towards faculty, but how as aprofessor Armanios et al. [19] could help mitigate any negative feelings and ensure theclassroom was ‘safe’ and comfortable’.Moving forward in the exploration of concrete steps, perhaps understanding the ease of gettingpermission to discuss the subject of DEIJ and the

This abstraction of life into quantified energy and materialflows, unaccompanied by locally specific social, historical, and geopolitical contexts and understandings,is itself a death-making practice supporting global environmental injustices. The quantifications becomeanalyses of death, holding fixed a background of Global Racial Empire that assures access to land whileseparating land from life to plunder resources. This is reflected in the way that impact categories are allgeared toward understanding damage that would result from product making, forefronting sets ofrelationships in which humans are inherently damaging to the environment.

Before my current role, I held roles at both an R1institution and a small private institution. The latter was focused on expediting students into theworkforce by offering associate degrees centered around computer science. Neither my currentinstitution nor the ones I previously mentioned required prerequisite for CS 1. Through a variety ofinstitutional contexts, I was able to observe students succeeding in CS 1 without having taken theprerequisites that are widely required in CS

and how they're doing many things to try to make it more inclusive for us nonwhite individuals of the school... I think inclusive teaching includes making sure that examples you see in the classroom have our races introduced to these classes. So sort of making sure that we're heard as well, making sure the examples aren't only focused on white individuals. [Student 8 Interview]In addition, students voiced beliefs about the importance of seeing themselves reflected in theirpeers and faculty. They expressed that this fosters a sense of community among individuals whoshare similar backgrounds and perspectives. For instance, one student highlighted the importanceof female representation in STEM classes

metacognitive processes.Bielefeldt (2014) emphasizes that female students’ reflective essays have significantlyimpacted students’ own perception of engineering and the profession’s role within society. A second strand of scholarly work emphasizes the role of experiential learning throughsummer programs (Groppi & Tappero, 2015), student exchange programs (Fox et al., 2018),mentored grant-funded research projects (Espiritu et al., 2021; Perez & Plumlee, 2022), andinternships (National Academies, 2017).

playing field for the production of texts in standard English. The power of GenAIas a writing tool is based on its large training data set; however, that apparent diversity belies theprimacy of language practices from younger, white, more affluent users in the training data(Bender et al. 2022). GenAI programs like ChatGPT utilize machine learning, organizinglanguage into tokens, representing units of meaning, often phrases, each assigned vectors tocharacterize relationships between tokens. Trained on vast text data, initially supervised byhumans, then refined through a reward model, these systems predict the likelihood of tokens in atext stream.

also experienced by students in the class. The authors found that a simple,extended pause after asking a question can be a wonderful place to start promoting studentengagement. Usually (eventually) someone spoke up to start a dialogue when the silence wasallowed to linger. Active learning strategies are the next step, shown to increase studentengagement and knowledge retention [28] active or cooperative learning strategies consist ofpauses and time for students to reflect on and further absorb course content. These methods arevaried by discipline and take many forms, but the result is a delineation from traditional lectures[29] to combat fatigue experienced by both students and educators [19].Building positive student-centered learning

problems to solve, defining the problem space, making design decisions toprioritize certain technical features over others, etc. - are always shaped by cultural norms. Theengineers' social and political beliefs are always reflected in their practices and their work [16],[17]. Engineering as a heterogeneous practice should be aware of its entangled social justiceissues and work with the communities when creating designs [11], [18], [19].Engineering education is moving towards perceiving engineering as a sociotechnical field notonly because of the shifting ideology described above but also because the movement can betterengage students’ identities, hence broadening participation in engineering [8], [20].

. It represents a behavioral aspect of well-being and has beenrecognized as a significant predictor of various learning behaviors and achievement outcomes[11, 12]. According to Renshaw and Bolognino (2016) [6], academic efficacy encompasseselements of both cognitive and behavioral well-being. However, their analysis suggests that itpredominantly reflects behavioral well-being rather than cognitive well-being. This implies thatacademic efficacy is more closely associated with the persistent pursuit of goals anddetermination rather than solely cognitive abilities or beliefs about one's capabilities.3.

between modules within courses. The positivism createdand perpetuated by this silo in engineering education ultimately positions rightness as a hidden,structural, exclusionary force rather than something constructed by the people in the room. Theauthors conclude that students are working at a boundary condition created over years ofseparation between the physical and social sciences and this itself is another barrier. Studentsstruggle with their engineering identity when centering public welfare or justifying nontechnicalwork after experiencing partial integration of social impacts in technical courses, and “[this] kindof negotiation [reflects] the tensions and unsettled boundaries between what students [consider]to be inside or outside the scope

However, despite someparticipants either leading or being engaged in formal programs that coached men on how to beeffective allies, there remained an uncertainty around which strategies to focus on, how tosuccessfully implement them, and generally, how to best serve the women that they seek tosupport. The fear of not responding appropriately or discomfort that can arise from reflecting onone’s own role, as a member of the majority, in perpetuating oppression or challengingproblematic views espoused by colleagues should not deter men from engaging in gender equitywork. This self-doubt described by participants indicates that mentorship, further education, andengagement in formal ally training programs may be beneficial, as normalizing the
