It posits that Laura engaged in activities that have similarities toengineering habits of mind and dispositions, yet her knowledge can potentially beunacknowledged or honored in engineering classrooms. At the core of this problem is the lack ofvalidation of the material realities of the adolescent. Often, the narratives of people of color areomitted from the engineering curriculum; thus, continuously reproducing social inequalities andacademic hierarchies. In engineering, particularly, the material realities of students of color–which are perceived as non-sophisticated epistemologies–are replaced by dominant discourses.The embodied knowledge, practices and forms of expression of Latinx youth have a place in

-Scoping/Problem Framing Problem-scoping or Problem Framing, the process by which engineers iteratively define and refine the problem, is an important part of the engineering design process but also one that requires specific skills and habits of mind. Few activities, however, are structured to help students develop these skills. Here we share three activities that were specifically developed to emphasize the problem-scoping phase of the engineering design process: The Paper Airplane Contest, the Changing Leaves Problem, and the Protecting Pelican Colonies problem. In these activities, students are presented with a client who has a rich, but ill-defined realistic problem. Students then engage in a structured
