electro- chemical energy storage systems.Dr. Corin L. Bowen, California State University, Los Angeles Corin (Corey) Bowen is a postdoctoral researcher in the College of Engineering, Computer Science and Technology at California State University - Los Angeles, where she is working on the NSF-funded Eco- STEM project. Her engineering education research focuses on structural oppression in engineering sys- tems, organizing for equitable change, and developing an agenda of Engineering for the Common Good. She conferred her Ph.D. in aerospace engineering from the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor in April 2021. Her doctoral research included both technical and educational research. She also holds an M.S.E. in aerospace

notrestricted to computing students. While non-computing STEM majors suffer from the same lackof representation, it is important for researchers in computing to understand discipline-specificperceptions and experiences. Finally, the study did not account for other student identitiesoutside of race and gender. This excludes more nuanced analysis of results, based on multipleforms of oppression that students may (not) experience [21]. In addition, the computingcommunity lacks significant data collection efforts related to students with disabilities,highlighting the need to account for this important (and often overlooked) identity [22].This work-in-progress paper is situated within a broader ongoing project that seeks to answertwo research questions

that of first-generation college students. Due to their own personal experiences through graduate school and/or through the tenureprocess, the authors have embarked on a National Science Foundation (NSF) funded project touncover the scripts of Whiteness in engineering, and more specifically in engineering education.The team did not want to only navel-gaze on and about Whiteness for Whiteness’ sake. That iswhy their study of Whiteness never forgets who should be centered: those that Whiteness hurts,oppresses, and marginalizes [18]. We understand that the lack of Black, Indigenous, and Peopleof Color (BIPOC) in engineering (i.e., supply) is not due to incapability or lack of persistence;it’s further downriver to the demand side—a
