But [S2] obviously didn't feel that way.” (S4)S1 discussed how there’s several ways a student can be more competent than others and howthese play into power dynamics of how students view and treat one another, “I think another part in there is competency, whether a student is more competent than another, whether it's in their engineering, or even their own, English or verbal skills or their work ethic, you know. I think there are a lot of, power dynamics there in play where you know, peers can see things differently and

overcome any obstacles that they might havefaced. This is evident when looking for reasons why engineering students drop out. To nosurprise, there are a plethora of pitfalls an individual can make, with no recognition of theinstitutional hurdles that act as gatekeepers in perpetuating the current makeup of engineering as“pale and male” [62, p. 9]. As listed by industry and blogger articles, reasons that students dropout of engineering programs include: poor work ethic, inability to deal with failure, and lackingthe engineering mindset [63]. It is common talk among engineers that when trying to explain the dearth of women andPOC in engineering, meritocracy is used to justify by stating things such as “they aren’t cut outto be an engineer” or

expected to do the work to improve inclusion. The students recommended the creation of aCenter for Engineering Diversity, structured project and lab teams to prevent isolation, strongeralumni/ae relationships, more formal mandatory training for faculty and TAs, teaching empathyand ethics in the first year, and altering syllabi to underline the value of DEI thinking. Thestudents, without faculty intervention, came up with many of the same solutions as have beenseen in the literature [17].MethodsThe complete survey administered to each class at the beginning of the term can be found inAppendix A. This will be referred to as the Before survey for the remainder of the paper.Surveys were distributed via campus email at the beginning of the Fall 2021
