In addition, Mr. Halkiyo is interested in broadening the participation of engineering edu- cation in Ethiopian universities to increase the diversity, inclusivity, equity, and quality of Engineering Education. He studies how different student groups such as women and men, rich and poor, students from rural and urban, and technologically literate and less literate can have quality and equitable learning experiences and thrive in their performances. In doing so, he focuses on engineering education policies and practices in teaching and learning processes, assessments, laboratories, and practical internships. Mr. Halkiyo has been

Previous research has investigated LAs’impacts on improving undergraduate courses and student outcomes [3]. Studies related to LAsand their impacts on social justice have focused on applying quantitative critical race theory toevaluate the impact of LAs on reducing learning gaps between dominant and historicallymarginalized students [4] and on classroom equity [5]. A greater understanding of LAs’conceptions of status and how they navigate dismantling status differences in the classroomwould support this work.This study utilized thematic analysis [6] to characterize how LAs construct the idea of statuswithin

the least important [20]. These faculty then may teach theirengineering students to do the same [9], [20]. Further, engineering students are often exposed toclosed-ended problems that are decontextualized, extending the gap between social and technicalaspects of engineering. The result is that engineers may be unprepared to understand the largercontexts and implications of their work [17], [21]. Thus, social aspects of engineering are bothoverlooked and undervalued in engineering education.Yet, engineering inherently has social outcomes. Engineering artifacts are innately sociotechnicalas some individuals benefit, some are overlooked, and some have power to negotiate change[20].
