social sciences can and will directly impact their lives, bothas an engineering professional and in the ‘pure’ engineering design work.The last pillar of disengagement is the ideology of meritocracy. Meritocracy is “the belief thatsocial advancement structures in the United States are fair and just“ [11]. While several studieshave documented the impact of implicit bias contributing to a structural environment that is notfair or just, if engineering students are presented with these studies straight forth, the conflictbetween the structural impact of bias and engineering culture’s meritocracy can lead students toreject the studies based on identity-protective cognition [3]. Identity-protective cognition is whenan individual selectively interprets

on graduatestudents who hold marginalized identities -- highlight the ongoing need to research the mentalhealth of STEM graduate students and how mental health influences various aspects of their livesand academic trajectories, aligning with the conclusion in the review conducted by Bork andMondisa focused on graduate student mental health in engineering (2021).Our findings reveal a significant shift in the focus on mental health publications during and afterthe COVID-19 pandemic. The observed shift in focus towards mental health publications duringand after the COVID-19 pandemic is indicative of an increased acknowledgment of the mentalhealth challenges that arose and the necessity for supportive measures and interventions toeffectively

Identity, and Affective AwarenessAfter this model was applied to program development, program developers completed amixed-methods study including a survey to collect qualitative and quantitative data to evaluateprogram effectiveness at creating a transformative educational experience for participants [3].The findings of this study included key impacts of the program and recommendations for futuredevelopment:Key Impacts of the EECS Design Student Communities of Practice Program [3]: 1. Instructors of engineering education seeking to facilitate transformative learning experiences for their students should create their own auto-ethnographic teaching narratives and engage in interdisciplinary dialogues to share values and understanding

the type of intervention. The study is not longitudinal, not all interventions wereimplemented for the same group of students.The first-year intervention occurred in the introduction to engineering course. All engineeringand computer science majors take an introduction to engineering course during their first fallsemester. In fall 2015, all sections of the course included a one-lecture workshop on diversity inSTEM. The workshop was designed and led by an academic advisor who works with at-riskengineering students. Goals of the first-year intervention: • Increase awareness of the lack of diversity among students and professionals in engineering. • Increase awareness of privilege as it relates to identity, majority and

Illinois.Wright College’s student success rates measured by completion have been strong and improvingrelative to other national urban community colleges, but are below state and national averages.In 2015 the college piloted a selective guaranteed admission program, Engineering Pathways (EP),to one of the nation’s top engineering schools (The Grainger College of Engineering at theUniversity of Illinois Urbana Champaign, UIUC). Initial results for the small first-year cohort werevery positive: 89% transfer rate and all students who transferred to UIUC graduated. Theprogram’s initial success rested on a) cohort model with a small number of students and strongcontrols; b) co-branding that attracted local students interested in pursuing engineering at UIUCwho

college inEthiopia. In those capacities, and their experiences as instructors, researchers, and departmentheads, they had an opportunity to learn about some challenges women in Ethiopia face inuniversities, especially in engineering.The two Black men research team members also have a sister who studied engineering(bachelor’s degree) and is pursuing a master’s degree in engineering. As siblings, who have closecontact with their sister to support her in her academic pursuit, they learned some of the struggleswomen in Ethiopia might face in higher education, especially in engineering departments.Further, both men know they haven't experienced the many challenges women students gothrough in engineering in Ethiopia. While some of their identities

selecting one classification over another, and the impact that decision can haveon their research and the populations being researched. They highlight the importance of askingparticipants to choose how they prefer to identify. Hence, we considered that this study cancontinue this conversation by providing an overview of how engineering students identify andreflect on the use of the different terminology.MethodsAs the purpose of this work is to explore the perspectives of engineering students that identify ashaving Latin American origin, regarding the ways in which they identify themselves and howothers seek to label them, this pilot study analyzed both quantitative and qualitative data toimplement the beginnings of a case study.

undergraduate studies, including computer science. Some 90% of thestudents in this project were Hispanic. The course was piloted over four semesters, whichallowed the instructional team to perfect the approaches that were most successful for studentsuccess. The leadership course integrated two primary approaches: 1) a relational model ofleadership used to examine complexities that arise when technology professionals encountermultiple perspectives and diverse ideas; and 2) cooperative learning approaches, includingconstructive academic controversy model, used to develop leadership skills whilecontextualizing the role of ethics in computing. The course culminated in an academiccontroversy exercise where student teams examined the Facebook /Whistleblower
