How are nationality (and nationalisms) conforming the experiences of Engineeringteachers and learners?

In 1974, Jesuit General Congregation (GC) 32 decided to take a more active role inalleviating poverty and injustice. In 2008, GC35 called on Jesuit universities “to promote studiesand practices focusing on the causes of poverty and the question of the environment’simprovement” [26, 27].

Our work investigates the influence of twosuch courses on student attitudes and motivation by gathering both qualitative and quantitativedata from students in two STEM-themed courses in WGSS and ethnic studies, “Gender andSTEM” and “Race and Technology.” We argue that in these courses students acquire skills thatenable them to critically reflect on both the socially constructed nature of STEM and on thehistorical patterns within engineering culture that exacerbate existing inequities and injusticedespite claims of “neutral” objectivity.

Speaking of interdisciplinary research integrating socialand technological innovation, Leo said “This needs to not be something that people are doing off the side of their desk as one more thing, as is so often the case with academia. So, it’s to recognize that we need a structure that enables folks who are serious about doing this [non-traditional research], to be able to not do some other things for a while, while they engage in doing this.” (00:10:55–00:11:10)In an example of a later phase of a problem-solving mindset, after defining this structural problemfor engineering faculty, Leo went on to suggest possible solutions to encourage more faculty toget involved with cross

In K-12 contexts,Vakil [9] explains that “research unequivocally shows that high quality STEM learningopportunities in and out of school are largely denied to racially minoritized students” (p.90).Numerous studies have shown that in university programs, students benefit from previoustechnical experience [10], but women are far less likely to have such experiences because ofgendered stereotypes of engineering processes e.g. computer coding [11].There are also challenges arising from students’ interests and the impact of gender stereotypes oncareer choice.
