Further, there is limited to no evidence of utilizing APPI as aneducational intervention.1.1. APPI as a Research Methodology vs InterventionAs a part of an early-stage research project on evaluating the impact of asset-based practices inundergraduate engineering courses, we employed appreciative interviewing to elicit studentexperiences in applying their assets to projects

Studies have demonstrated that STEM students find it challenging to work with adiverse population. This is juxtaposed with the reality that over 50% of STEM employers preferto hire interculturally competent graduates. As such, national agencies and higher educationinstitutions have been urging STEM faculty to integrate intercultural competence into thecurriculum. Through this study, we intend to showcase the integration of interculturalcompetence concepts in a first-year cybersecurity classroom.

We added somelayers to complete the narratives without changing the actual stories. Based on the experiences ofmarginalization common to Black students navigating engineering, this project is theoretically framed inCritical Race and Role Strain Theories. Critical Race Theory (CRT) provides a framework forchallenging the ways in which race and racism implicitly and explicitly impact social structures, practices,and discourses; it has also been used to understand the experiences of Black graduate students navigatingengineering environments (Crenshaw, 1991; Ladson

partnership is “a specific form of studentengagement, with very high levels of active student participation.” [16]Not only can such an empathetic approach be used to gain a deeper understanding of studentlearning challenges, it is also a framework that creates actionable outcomes in partnership withstudents (i.e., design, prototype, and test a reimagined experience). For this reason, designthinking was the proposed methodology for instructors to evaluate and improve teaching andlearning in collaboration with students.ObjectiveThe objective of this work was to explore how science and engineering educators can useempathetic design, known in the design space as “design thinking,” to engage students inimproving their learning.
