In light of this vision, as well as the societal momentum toward dismantling White supremacy and racism, ASEE has launched a Year of Impact on Racial Equity. Many aspects of engineering culture have origins and practices that center Whiteness and exclusivity. However, we are all caretakers of this culture and can either protect exclusionary traditions or strategically design models that better meet the diverse challenges and needs of our society.

In particular, white men can recognize, and act against inequity both in their classes, aswell as overall systemic inequity in STEM departments [4]. However, disruption of privilegecannot occur without continuous reflection on their whiteness, and significant engagement withpeers and students of color [17], [18]. There is a paucity of research reporting on the structuralinequity in STEM fields [5].

Developing critical consciousness cannot be based solely on training or competence [5].As Freire argues, “to affirm that men and women are persons and as persons should be free, andyet to do nothing tangible to make this affirmation as reality, is a farce” [15, p. 50]. Thus,altering the conditions students of Color find in STEM requires reflection, engagement, andaction toward social justice goals from those with power.

Yet, she (re)negotiated those relationships through a university course that providedher a space to reflect on her experiences in making and how those experiences contribute to herlearning in engineering.

limitations of the self-efficacy construct have been identified. Onesuch is a critique that the construct serves more as a reflection of motivation rather than adeterminant and therefore researchers should endeavor to understand the various sources of self-efficacy in greater depth in order to interpret its meaning [5]. These insights motivate a deeperinvestigation into the relevance of self-efficacy in this context.Our students’ transformation as they undergo design-build experiences is likely multi-faceted.

development can be developed to supportmore inclusive practices in engineering. According to Grayson [34], engineering education in the United States was founded inthe military to address a pressing need for surveying and construction skills. By World War II,engineering schools in the US enrolled a large number of men and trained them in technicalskills needed for the war. There were very few women or people of color enrolled in engineeringschools, particularly since the military was only composed of White men during this time period.These historical exclusionary roots contributed to the formation of an engineering culture thatwas reflected in its disciplinary norms.

In light of recent concern over the ADRP as a means of disrupting minority marginalization in Engineering Education1 , we reflect on the origins of the program as well as how to proactively shift the program’s cultural context to one of greater criticality about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in engineering, broadly.

questions measure the constructs as intended by the authors. However, themajority of validation studies in engineering education do not look at how items function forsubgroups of learners, particularly different racial, ethnic, and cultural groups [1]. Evenframeworks designed to improve the validity evidence provided regarding an assessment’s score,still leave out evaluations of fairness [2]–[4]. To gain a better understanding of how wellengineering assessment contexts are reflective of the diverse experiences of engineering studentsin the U.S., this work-in-progress paper explores the contexts of concept inventories from asociocultural perspective. The purpose of this WIP paper is to identify contexts that are used in three
