Also,these findings are not necessarily limited to Black and African American students at PWIs;future studies could expand on our findings to explore other minoritized populations atinstitutions that were not designed with them in mind. A second limitation of this study is the fact that the results are preliminary and call forfurther study that aims to explore the cultures cultivated in different engineering programs atPWIs and how African American students navigate them. We plan to collect and analyze furtherdata to identify how students use their navigational capital to achieve this aim. Finally, this study looks at the

The national commitment to promoting STEM excellence isevidenced by the State-Federal STEM Education Summit that was hosted last summer. The STEMEducation Summit convened a wide range of STEM leaders from all 50 states, five territories, andseveral tribes. The goal of the summit was to outline and develop a national STEM education planthat “will to help inform the development of the upcoming Federal 5-Year STEM EducationStrategic Plan” (p.3).

The program engagedparticipants in transportation engineering topics with opportunities to interact with engineerswho plan and maintain transportation systems. 125 students entering grades 10-12 spent oneweek living at the university campus. Students participated in tours of transportation-related sitesnot normally accessible to the public including traffic management centers, airports, and activeconstruction sites.

Although that is a commendable starting point, we also need to gainsolid grounding in literature related to critical race theory, developing White racial literacy, socialjustice in engineering education, liberative pedagogy, and culturally-responsive teaching andmentoring. While we have developed a basic foundation in these theories and frameworks, we willcomplete a more extensive literature review starting in summer 2021, which will guide our futurework. In parallel to a literature review, we will run four focus groups with students who completedthe social justice modules in both design classes to gain an understanding of their identities andinterests.

This 7-minute time constraintwas decided upon originally to align with the desires of GenZ students for short bursts ofviewing, but also fit well into the 12-minute restriction which is required under softwarelicensing terms. It was discovered early in our pilot that a strict adherence to the 7-minutelimitation was too restrictive for many of the planned videos and would require the instructor toeither reduce the included material or to artificially separate the footage into two videos. Neitherof these points were considered sufficient to maintain the original, relatively arbitrary 7-minuteframework and we modified the concept to allow for single-topic review videos which weresimply as short as possible to cover the

Designing and developing ways for youths’knowledge and experiences to not only be elicited, but also have an impact is one direction thatmay support more youth connecting with engineering.
