onBlack undergraduate engineering students reveal a prevalence of identity saliency, persistence,and support resources for undergraduate engineering students, but that more intentional andcreative studies were needed to understand the experiences of Black students in STEM. Researchefforts to explore the complexity of the underrepresentation of Black engineers at every levelhave resulted in a common agenda with an “ultimate goal to improve, enhance, and transformlearning and work environments” [6, p. 107].Black undergraduate engineering students encounter many challenges in their pursuit of anengineering degree. Some of these challenges include stereotype threat, a “predicament in whichmembers of certain social groups must deal with being judged

To measure classroomperformance in a “non-graded” way, the “seriousness of purpose” measure was conceptualized.The measure is intended to evaluate the student’s ability to apply what he or she has learned inan open-ended and practical way. In engineering and ET fields, the senior capstone course iswhere theory and practice collide, so assessing students on their capstone performance is alogical way to measure classroom performance.

While literature has explored how engineering studentsgather design information, less work has explored how students make sense of this information.To understand how engineering students may approach information synthesis tasks, we providedten undergraduate engineering students with 25 pieces of information related to an open-endeddesign scenario
