: Engineering identity formation is not simply the result of technical knowledgeacquisition, but also that of enculturation. Both processes are intricately linked to the places (i.e.,physical infrastructures) in which they unfold such as laboratories, classrooms, communal areas,and other engineering spaces on a university campus. Places act as a conduit for engineeringenculturation, as it is within these settings that students are inundated with value-laden symbols& representations, participate in engineering activities and rituals, and are expected to adopt andembody dominant engineering mindsets and attitudes towards technical problem solving.Recognizing that the physical infrastructure of a place can serve as a tangible manifestation ofbroader

recognize thatnew ways of thinking and being will likely come from outside the academy and not from withinit [42]. Already, we have found commonality with and taken inspiration from education andresearch exemplars such as the Zapatista movement’s Escuelas Populares [47], the Science Shopmovement [48], Highlander Education and Research Center [21], and the Civic Laboratory forEnvironmental Action Research (CLEAR) [49]. Our goal is to define a set of practices, based onthe methods of these and other successful experiences, in order to help us manifest SE in theworld. As we share our stories, support one another through our weekly trials and triumphs, andparticipate in our own liberatory praxis, we become community to one another. We start to liveout

Academic OutcomesAt its core, mindfulness is a practice that involves enhancing awareness of the present moment,which can significantly improve skills necessary for successful academic outcomes such assustained focus, increased open-mindedness and innovation, and time management. Sustainedfocus is crucial for engineering students who must master complex concepts and problem-solving skills. Mindfulness practices help train the mind to resist distractions and redirectattention to the task [30]. By regularly engaging in mindfulness practices, engineering studentscan develop the mental discipline to stay focused during lectures, laboratory work, and studysessions. In addition to improving concentration, mindfulness promotes a non-judgmental andopen

laboratory projects in the middle years [27]–[29].Engineering teams offer a mode for interdisciplinarity and task delegation so students can finishlarge and complicated projects within the span of a course. What is not often taught, however,are the various skills necessary in the social processes that make teaming effective:communication, delegation, and conflict resolution, to name a few [30]–[32]. The socialcircumstances in which these skills become relevant can reveal hidden epistemologies that guidethe teaming process, especially when gender differences and dynamics are considered [21].Within engineering, these epistemologies are woven into the culture of engineering learningenvironments and often the engineering field itself [18]. Therefore, we
