essential for the engineering education community to be knowledgeable of the experiencesof this group in engineering. Using critical race theory and intersectionality frameworks, thisstudy utilizes quantitative and qualitative data to examine the reasons that influenced Blackwomen to leave their engineering positions. Engineering graduates of a large public Midwesternuniversity were surveyed. Ten of the 3,807 graduates identified as a woman and Black or AfricanAmerican. Participants provided information on their career trajectories, including informationon their position(s) held and the reasons that influenced them to leave. Reasons that influencedBlack Women engineers to leave their engineering positions are presented. Preliminary analysesand

fair was used to make families aware of the manySTEM resources in Boston as well as to pique their interest in STEM. Engaging families is apriority of the LSA in order to encourage parents to advocate for STEM offerings in schools, aswell as to encourage the parents, who are often very young, to consider STEM education andcareer pathways for themselves.Another key feature of this event was the participation of NSF S-STEM electrical engineeringscholars from Suffolk University, who are graduates of Boston Public High Schools and who arepredominantly students of color themselves. These students engaged the fair participants inhands-on experiments about energy and electricity and served as role models for the participantsand their families

, and that this contributes to broader racial and gender inequalities in pay, prestige andpower. “[S]cience degrees and occupations are associated with greater prestige and rewards thanany other field of study. In a technologically advanced society, the status and power of those inscience makes them the new elite” [29, p. 113]. Therefore, it is imperative that science andengineering disciplines are equally accessible to all, regardless of race or gender. The politicalnature of social justice arguments makes them uncommon in a discipline that prefers to maintainits objectivity [30]. However, the “equality case” for diversity is the only argument that takesinto account pre-existing power structures that reproduce racial and gender inequalities

Many other universities have recognized the importance of the first yearexperience as well and have revamped their first year introductory engineering course(s) [1-5].The goals of this introductory course are to provide students with basic skills for success, toenhance their interest in engineering and to cultivate their sense of belonging.
