decision was made by this group that the incorporation ofdialogue was critical to students reflecting on their own identity and learning to communicateacross different identities effectively. Therefore, dialogue experts were hired and help co-facilitatethese courses, which are known as Race, Justice and Dialogue courses (RJDC).The aim of the RJDC is to expand and deepen students’ critical consciousness of power anddifference using an antiracist lens, and to promote student antiracist action in the service of socialjustice. Put differently, this course aims to expand students’ antiracist literacy and advocacy inhopes of making Villanova, and beyond, more inclusive, equitable, and just for all.The College of Engineering decided that this antiracist

students read, reflect, and discuss various equity and justice-themedarticles. The second is four weeklong projects over the semester that require a sociotechnicalperspective to complete. Lastly, students complete an open-ended final project that requiresattention to equity dimensions in each project step. This paper will examine the students’responses to the weekly discussion reading on environmental racism.In this study, we focus on one week in which students read and reflected on two articles. Onewas an article from The Atlantic, titled “A New EPA Report Shows that Environmental Racismis Real” (Newkirk II, 2018).

, SaP can also support STEM students’ engagement in DEI efforts. For example, in2015, Bunnell et al. [26] developed a course titled “Being Human in STEM (HSTEM)” atAmherst College, which engages students in action research projects on topics related todiversity and inclusion in STEM. In personal reflections, HSTEM course alumni noted that theirparticipation in the course supported them in making sense of their own and other students’experiences of marginalization, combatting feelings of isolation, and feeling empowered aschange agents within the Amherst STEM community [26].3. FrameworksThe design of the JEDI was guided by notions of liberative pedagogy [27]-[28]. From a Freireanperspective, liberative education facilitates conscientização, or

Theoutcome of such reflection and juxtaposition can provide foundational knowledge to assist in theefforts to identify “features” in engineering classrooms and pedagogies that perpetuate cisgenderand heteronormative elements in engineering education. It must be noted that this is a pilotresearch study that strives to produce knowledge to help contribute to future efforts to reimagineengineering classrooms and pedagogies.

As members of this center strive to make equity-focused changes within theCOE, we must ensure our thinking considers the decentralized nature of graduate educationwithin the institution. Moreover, we must also grapple with faculty resistance to change,regardless of reason. The purpose of this work-in-progress research study is to report on thedevelopment of a reflection instrument that can be used to assist change leaders in determiningtheir unit’s readiness for change. In particular, we will report on instrument development,piloting results, and the current instrument iteration. We leverage the Competing Values CultureFramework (CVCF) to better understand

development can be developed to supportmore inclusive practices in engineering. According to Grayson [34], engineering education in the United States was founded inthe military to address a pressing need for surveying and construction skills. By World War II,engineering schools in the US enrolled a large number of men and trained them in technicalskills needed for the war. There were very few women or people of color enrolled in engineeringschools, particularly since the military was only composed of White men during this time period.These historical exclusionary roots contributed to the formation of an engineering culture thatwas reflected in its disciplinary norms.

reflection on howour grading practices impact equity mirrors conversations around using standardized testingmechanisms like the SAT, ACT, and GRE for admissions decisions. These high-stakes examsmay hugely impact accessibility of higher education for certain demographics of students[18]–[20]. Mounting criticism of standardized tests have pointed out that performance appearstied to lack of preparation and under-resourced schools, rather than students’ ability to succeed inundergraduate or graduate degree programs [21]–[24]. As underrepresented students are stronglyaffected by using test score thresholds to admit candidates, several movements have proposedthat their use be discontinued.While grades are a deeply ingrained part of higher educational

Abstract In order to inform a discussion of silenced communities within systemic processes, we examine the ASEE Diversity Recognition Program (ADRP) as a step towards amplifying re- flexive and critical activities already occurring within ASEE. In light of recent concern over the ADRP as a means of disrupting minority marginalization in Engineering Education1 , we reflect on the origins of the program as well as how to proactively shift the program’s cultural context to one of greater criticality about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in engineering, broadly.
