He was just doing his job of what the college told him to do. But that didn't make it better for me. I feel like, in his mind, why would he also think that doctoring photos is the way to promote diversity?”In this interaction, the photographer acknowledged Monica and included her only because of herrace and gender. This invalidated Monica’s value in engineering because her accomplishmentsin the field did not matter. As such, we coded this experience as an invalidation. Though thephotographer wanted to take her picture because of the double bind, the purpose of the

According to Generation Z researchers Seemiller & Grace,among the top issues on the minds of Generation Z students are “education, employment, andracial equality” [6]. Not surprisingly, today’s prospective students are most likely to citepreparation for a job as the number one reason they are considering a college education[3].Coming of age during the economic recession of 2008, Generation Z is pragmatic and seeksvalue in a degree that they see as critical to landing a job down the road. A real concern for thesestudents is the ability to afford a college degree, which is not surprising given

mental health concerns. This raises the question as to whether experiences likeheightened stress or anxiety have become normalized in engineering disciplines such thatstudents are less likely to seek help from a mental health professional.The 2018-2019 Healthy Minds Study (HMS), from which the present study is based, involved asurvey of 60,000 U.S. college students from diverse backgrounds and majors. Comparativeanalyses across undergraduate majors revealed that only 32% of undergraduate engineers with 3significant anxiety or depression symptoms had sought professional help in the last year,compared to 45% of their non-engineering peers [2].

invite diverse practices into the work in acollaborative and distributed process of imagining solutions for all.Taken together, these ideas suggest that learning engineering requires acquiring more than thetechnical knowledge (and we argue that it requires a distributed process), and that practicingjustice-centered engineering design requires incorporation of both technical and broader socialconsideration in all aspects of the work.Conceptual frameworkSociocultural theories of learning from the learning sciencesWhat is learning? If we look at popular media, we see that learning is portrayed as a faculty ofthe human mind divorced from interaction with other factors [11]. However, scholarship in thelearning sciences understands learning as a

With this in mind, this paper is notso much a critique of
