semester long and early in the engineeringcurriculum. The study collects pre- and post-survey data at the beginning and end of thesemester, which may not be sufficient time for students to absorb lessons regarding thesociotechnical nature of engineering from the course. Anecdotally, we have observed students’appreciation of this course increasing as they approach graduation, more so than when they arein or have just completed the course. Future studies may recollect the post survey data later instudents’ college career after the lessons learned in this course have had more time to sink in.ConclusionThe work described in this paper contributes to the growing body of knowledge related to socialjustice education in engineering. The results show that

" artifacts crafted from unconventional resources, can be integrated into asset-based pedagogies like Connected Learning to reimagine engineering education. Participants include Mexican American middle and high school-aged youth in Southern California, USA, alongside Mexican American adult mentors and researchers. Study participants collaboratively designed a prototype workshop targeting future youth who may not consider engineering as a career, utilizing speculative fiction (e.g., Latinofuturism) to ignite interest while tapping into existing creativity, collaboration, and resourcefulness inherent in everyday engineering problem-solving. This holistic approach aims to render engineering more relevant

in shifting student bias towards inclusion in the three interventions. The mostpromising approach is student-led, where senior students worked to change the student culturedirectly.Introduction and BackgroundImproving diversity in STEM fields is an important goal and has been widely studied. It is well-known that students and professionals in STEM careers in the USA do not reflect the generalpopulation of the country [1]. For example, white men make up 31.6% of the general populationwhile they make up 51% of scientists and engineers. Black men make up 6% of the populationand 3% of the STEM workforce. The percentage of non-white and non-Asian people in the USAis 31.3% while the percentage of this sub-population working in STEM is just 12%. In

We tracked patterns of coded languageuse [27] amongst selected teams, and did a deep analysis of how coded language increased inintensity across the term. We also assessed how minoritized teammates indicated warnings oftheir marginalization. We have reported some analysis from these data elsewhere [27], [28], [31].Finally, we conducted a diary study during spring 2022, much delayed from our originaltimeline. We conducted in-person initial interviews with diary participants who were recruitedbased on their self-indicated identities as someone from a historically excluded group inengineering, using the device of a career journey map to structure the conversation. We thenasked them to reflect on
