As Anzaldúa explored her ownupbringing and lived reality, she deconstructed those spaces she inhabited where she faceddiscrimination and ambiguity to imagine and (re)shape a third space where new realitiescould exist [16]. Through a process of self-reflexivity, Anzaldúa explains, Nepantla becomesa (re)imagined space rather than a dichotomy of worlds [16]. Anzaldúa claims that Nepantlasoften emerge through writing – the writing that comes from deep and critical reflection thateventually leads to a process that catalyzes transformation.Nepantla is also a way to explore the world through lived experience and engage indecolonial

Undergraduate research experience was also found to better equip students for graduateschool or careers (Sell, Naginey, & Stanton, 2017; Altman, et al., 2019). Through undergraduateresearch, students learn professional skills such as maintaining notes, identifying researchproblems, reading scientific literature, collaborating with peers in a research setting, and writingand presenting findings to an audience in their field of discipline (Carpenter & Pappenfus, 2009).Undergraduate research is said to be one of ten high impact practices shown to enhance andimprove college student performance and success (Kuh, 2008).

], but less is known regarding howengineering students develop these recognition beliefs. Existing identity work has illustrated that students perceive recognition differentlydepending on who the recognition is coming from [10], [13], [14]. The difference betweensources of recognition is most often explored in terms of the prevalence of recognition fromdifferent groups including peers, family, and faculty. Engineering faculty have been identified ashigh impact sources of recognition, but this has been mostly explored with respect to thefrequency of interaction with engineering students in an educational context [13], [15], [16].While recognition from engineering faculty has been considered supportive of students’ overallrecognition beliefs

ZPD was proposed by Lev Vygotsky as a sociocultural theory that describes learning anddevelopment [10]. The ZPD conceives learning as the space between what a learner can dowithout assistance and what the learner can do with competent assistance. A common way totranslate implications from the ZPD to the design of learning interventions is by providingstudents with scaffolding. Scaffolding refers to all types of support and guidance offered in theclassroom either by the instructor or peers or supported by technology [11].In the context of higher education, scaffolding refers to teaching techniques or tools that supportstudents' learning. Students are provided with learning supports that help them accomplish tasksthat they normally would not be

Multilingual Board GameIntroductionSerious games are a category of games that are often used in education to provide access tocomplex systems. In past research and curriculum development, engineering teachers haveimplemented curriculum around STEM-focused games [1], such as for urban planning [2],transportation engineering [1], chemistry education [3] and computational thinking [4]. Due tothe increased interactive engagement of games compared to lecture [5], [6], [7], engineeringeducators have utilized games to positively impact students' learning. However, theseeducational games are often only available in English. Students whose first language (L1) is notEnglish may be limited in how they present their ideas to peers in these playful spaces

, aligning with the profession’s values, and developing a professional identity[6]. Thus, the study of social belonging confidence in students, particularly through professionalsocialization, is a key step in understanding persistence in the field of ML/AI. We study socialbelonging through the lens of confidence, another predictor of persistence [7]–[9]. We define socialbelonging confidence as how confident a person feels that they will fit in with the social and culturalaspects of a profession and develop meaningful relationships with their peers. Belonging uncertainty,defined by Walton and Cohen [10], may be interpreted as a lack of this confidence.Lower levels of confidence have been found to negatively affect persistence of women and girls

Graduate student researchers in engineering education constantly designresearch studies, tools, and environments with their advisors, peers, and other researchers.However, opportunities to co-design engineering projects with learners and educators are lesscommon for engineering education graduate students. Yet the work that graduate studentresearchers develop can influence K-12 educators and students and vice versa. Thus, graduatestudent researchers must have experience working with learners and

This framing is based on prior work in science education.Carlone and Johnson [44] developed a framework for science role identity from interviews withwomen of Color professionals that included performance, competence, and recognition. Later, intranslating this framework to undergraduate students in physics, Hazari and colleagues [45] addedinterest as an important facet of the student experience and developed quantitative measuresassociated with the four constructs.

: Statistics educators broadly agree that “(a)nyserious discussion of statistical thinking must examine the role of 'variation'” [3]. In this work,we use the phrase “statistical variability” to refer to variability as it is viewed by statisticians: anubiquitous phenomenon to be directly studied and modeled.Despite its importance, prior failures in engineering can be traced to the neglect of variability [4].In the 1950s, design of aircraft for “the average man” led to uncontrollable aircraft [5]. At theheight of this issue, as many as 17 pilots crashed in a single day [6]. Similar issues persist inmodern engineering practice: As of writing, female passengers are crudely modeled as a scaledversion of the male median in automobile crash test practice [7

We added and adjusted questions to fit the participants’ primary stance as learners as opposed toemerging educators and to fit the disciplinary shift from ‘science’ into ‘engineering’. We sought to use broad,general, terminology to avoid evoking a socially desirable response from participants (e.g., ‘good teaching’ asopposed to ‘effective learning’)[21]. Such concerns also motivated having an undergraduate peer with lowerpower distance to participants be the interviewer [22,23].

has become more explicitin recent years, the preamble to the National Society of Professional Engineers’ (NSPE) [14]code of ethics has stated for decades, “The services provided by engineers require honesty,impartiality, fairness, and equity, and must be dedicated to the protection of the public health, 1safety, and welfare” (emphasis added). Likewise, ASCE has recently integrated a specific focuson equity with/for peers into their code of ethics [15]. Non-discrimination and anti-discrimination (each of which are ostensibly DEI-related) were recently introduced into the IEEEcode of ethics [16] and NSPE code of ethics [17], respectively. These
