]), I present an argument in this paper that ChatGPT is animportant tool for creating equitable access, especially for international students or students withtraditionally marginalized identities in engineering education. I present this from thepositionalities of student educators in engineering courses with reading and writing componentsand as international students in the US having relied on machine translation in their own studentexperiences. Using an approach similar to Coppola and Turns [11], I draw upon findingsgathered from interviewing other instructors of engineering courses within my department, aswell as a reflection of my own experiences as an instructor in engineering courses. I presentmicrocultures of student experiences of using

; Paper StyleThe team of authors was formed through a shared interest in exploring life as engineeringeducators outside academia. The call for collaboration was extended via LinkedIn, which yieldeda diverse group of participants, though perhaps not uncoincidentally – all women. Our team,initially intended as a panel for the ASEE 2023 conference, evolved into this collaborative paperafter the panel's rejection, emphasizing the importance and relevance of our stories in the broaderdiscourse of engineering education.Thus for the paper, each author was invited to respond to a set of six questions crafted by thelead author, reflecting on their individual journeys outside academia. This panel-style approachallowed for both personal reflection and

students across both iterations, along with students’ final projects andwritten reflections on the awareness events [8].There was some shift in students’ perceptions of the issue of homelessness. Pre- and post-responses revealed that the deficit perspective that homelessness is the result of inherentindividual characteristics was mostly present in pre-surveys and decreased but did not disappearafter the project [8]. Students' written reflections demonstrated their surprise that their previousnotions of the causes of homelessness and the demographics of individuals experiencinghomelessness were inaccurate or incomplete [31]. However, several students did present acritical and systemic view of social injustices, mostly in their post-responses [8

Our findings show how the dimensions of these types ofassignments are not at all clear and unified, with participants’ descriptions reflecting a mixture ofoften inconsistent and contradictory understandings, such as: random, meritocratic, ad hoc,sought on one’s own, given by top leaders, exploitative, beneficial, enjoyable, and scary. Suchassignments are conceived as important for advancement or even “secretly” required forpromotion, but there is no consensus on how to access them or connect

without implicitly placing theonus for change on students” [8, p. 576]. A focus on student success within institutions thatweren’t built with them in mind is important for reframing the narrative regarding “achievementgaps,” but this theory can also be helpful for illuminating misalignment between assets possessedby students from groups systemically marginalized in STEM fields and the capital valued byacademic institutions. In doing so, we can identify levers for institutional transformation thatcould help elevate the value of community cultural wealth beyond counterspaces/ethnic enclaveswithin the university setting.By identifying areas of misalignment between student assets and institutional values reflected inpolicies, we can illustrate the

Flores and Rosa [26] introduced the concept ofraciolinguistics, which indicates that language – in all of its forms – is used to construct race, andtherefore influences how

In a social and political environment thatincreasingly pushed and continues to push for a “return to normal” and reverting to practices thatwere prevalent prior to the start of the Covid-19 pandemic [23], we intended to design aclassroom that would make participation accessible to all students while still meeting courseobjectives. In our assessment of these courses, our personal reflections and indications fromstudent performances and grades reflect that our version of the courses still met establishedlearning objectives and taught students the key skills they needed to get from these courses.

It was not just about the aesthetic structure (introduction, literature,methods, results, discussions, etc.), it was how this dominant dissertation rhetoric silenced thetrue ambivalence and complexities of my findings. This traditional style and structure focused onknowledge production more than depth of holistic understanding (Kociatkiewicz & Kostera,2023). I relate to this reflection from another PhD student as she considered this same challenge: “How could I condense my research into a series of neatly defined chapters?

By extension, reported network measures such as degree (or the average number ofunique coauthors) would not be reflective of the collaboration experiences of non-white andAsian computer scientists. Further, this work posited this difference would skew in favor ofwhite and Asian scholars. That is, if the “average” (e.g., race-neutral approach) computerscientist has x number of unique collaborators, then minoritized

For example, students maywonder whether they are being heard in the group and if they belong in a particular communityof practice. Content uncertainty includes questions about the ideas, approaches, or intended endresult of an activity. This type of uncertainty is similar to what Hartner-Tiefenthaler et al. refer toas epistemological uncertainty, which they define as a “subjective feeling of being unsure aboutthe content, process or outcome of a task.” (p. 21, 2018). We adopt the latter term,epistemological uncertainty, to reflect that questions about process can include questions aboutwhat counts as valuable ways of knowing and doing

inclusion and equity are not. Some viewinclusion as a tool wielded by those in authority. Inclusion requires the group to include theindividual, rather than for the individual to take on that burden. An ideal DEI environmentencourages and hears authentic selves. People who want to improve DEI should engage inrepeated reflection to allow their ideas to evolve over time. Those at the top of the hierarchy,who are often not from minoritized groups, particularly need to reflect on their privileges andpositionalities in order to enact effective change [10].Engineers are still viewed by society as oblivious and antisocial, which lessens the appeal ofengineering to some.
