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). The other was an article from Vox titled, “There’s a clear fix tohelping Black communities fight pollution” (Ramirez, 2021). The

about therole that these faculty can play in advocating for themselves towards work justice while beingsupported structurally in doing so. The purpose of this paper is to share how a structural mentoring hub for BIPOCxcontingent faculty in engineering was conceived and designed. While the mentoring hub is yet tobegin, the authors believe that sharing their conception process, that led to an NSF-funded project,can better support others to create similar types of initiatives at their home institutions. The 1mentoring hub, called Raíces (or roots in Spanish) Institute for Transformative Advocacy (RITA;Figure 1) is anticipated to start later

c Society for Engineering Education, 2021Abstract The aim of this project is to engage students with course material related to environmentaljustice principles using anti-racist pedagogy. In a senior-level Unit Operations and ProcessSimulation course for chemical engineers, students are asked to take a holistic approach tochemical plant design. However, previous iterations of this course did not ask students to considerthe implications of building them: Who is making the decision to build these plants, and why arethey doing so? Where are these chemical plants being built? Are they safe for the workers and thesurrounding neighborhoods? Who gets to design these plants, and who will be maintaining theseplants? If there's a

Studentsuse system maps to identify ways design projects can impact on society in ways that have bothpositive and potentially negative consequences. Qualitative analysis of student artifacts over fivecourse iterations was used in an action research approach to refine how to effectively integratesystem map representations that capture societal issues and address issues of justice. Actionresearch is an iterative methodology that utilizes evidence to improve practice, in this case theimproving students’ facility with, and conceptions of, the societal impact of engineering work.This practice-focused paper reports on how system maps can be used in engineering and whatsupporting practices, e.g

class.Background and Literature ReviewUndergraduate engineering students are often assigned classwork, homework, and projects thatrequire them to work in teams or small groups with other students. In engineering designcourses, team projects are particularly ubiquitous, in part because collaboration is consideredcentral to professional engineering design practice and an essential skill for future designengineers to learn (Lingard & Barkataki, 2011). However, a substantial body of literature onundergraduate student teams in engineering design classes shows that effective collaborativepractices are not automatic for students, and there is a wide range in student competencies atestablishing effective communication processes, psychological safety, and

Choosing Self Care and Preservation: Examining Black Women STEM Faculty’s Decision to Pursue Entrepreneurship Education ProgrammingAbstractDespite recent STEM diversity initiatives, there still exists structural barriers on who can pursuetheir STEM aspirations. The lack of diversity in STEM fields hinders individual self-actualization and economic advancement as well as STEM innovation efforts. Notably, Blackwomen remain underrepresented in STEM higher education and academic entrepreneurship. Thegoal of this project is to increase the understanding of the entrepreneurship-related experiencesof Black women in STEM higher education. Specifically, we examine how the erasure andmarginalization of Black women in STEM academic entrepreneurship

The OIPI initiative was launched by one of China’s elite universities(S University afterwards) in 2019, seeking to broaden the participation of higherengineering education in China, especially in the field of electronic design[13]. Toachieve this, it aims to, on the one hand, widen the accessibility of students enrolled innon-elite universities to high-quality educational opportunities; on the other hand, supportthese students’ self-forming agency to acquire desired academic success, which means totape out in this initiative.1Open platform consists of ‘open in’, ‘open resources

student strengths.The realityBefore the first year of the project began, 1301 was added to the university’s core curriculum andmade available to all first-year engineering students. Students from civil engineering, computerscience, electrical engineering, engineering innovation and leadership, industrial engineering,metallurgical and materials engineering, and mechanical engineering enrolled in 1301 andparticipated in the program. Additionally, three sections (approximately 80 students) of 1301were offered during the fall semester. During the spring semester, one section of 1301 and onesection of 1402 (approximately 62 students combined) were offered. Enrollment in 1402 wasonly available to students whose declared major was in the piloting

technicalengineering course can be perceived as an additional load or “tack on'' by both instructors andstudents. Furthermore, in addition to these structural barriers, sociotechnical content does not bydefault include a justice perspective. As such, an intentional focus on justice is necessary whendesigning pedagogical changes toward more holistic engineering education.In response to these challenges and needs, we were funded by the NSF to conduct a research andpedagogical project in which we are integrating justice components throughout a first-yearcomputing for engineers course. Instead of revising an ethics course or tacking on sociotechnicalcontent to a traditional course, we chose to embed justice into our redesign of the “technical”class as much as

engineering.Maintaining epistemological uncertainty in engineering work is an inherent part of expansivethinking. As students make space for including social, political, and economic aspects inengineering work, they question what is valuable (what should be foregrounded) and how theycan include these aspects. By maintaining uncertainty, they explore new sociotechnicalimaginaries of what designs are possible, especially from the standpoint of equity and socialjustice. These uncertainties are not static and are not necessarily shared between all members inone group. At any given moment, students’ uncertainty may be raised, dismissed, ignored, oracknowledged (Jordan & McDaniel, 2014).MethodsThis study is part of a larger NSF-funded project to integrate
