-efficacy to embed engineering in their curricula in ways that meaningfullyconnect to students’ lives and communities [2]. Traditional “engineering” building tasks candisenfranchise students from non-dominant groups, particularly Indigenous communities, becausethere is a lack of connection to multiple epistemologies, specifically those focusing on culturalcompetency, identity, and relationships with the natural world [6]. Focusing on how engineeringeducation can be reframed as equity-centered, inclusive of diverse voices and ways of learning, isessential to increasing participation and outcomes in engineering.Supporting teachers in employing a culturally relevant approach to engineering requires new andimproved professional development (PD
