are aware of the potential legal implicationsof some of the participants’ lived experiences and are mindful of the exponential weight ofintersectionality [37] and the analytic tools offered by critical race theory (e.g., foregroundingrace/racism; focusing on racialized, gendered, and classed experiences; using interdisciplinaryunderstandings) to bring the issues to the fore [38].In reviewing the literature, we note that socially-constructed beliefs and subsequent behavior –and vice versa – within engineering lead to cultural mismatch, identity conflict,compartmentalization of work and social lives, diminished job satisfaction, and psychologicalstress [15], [16], [19], [29]. The individual impact of racism can be assessed through
workshops andcommunity of scholars activities, which was created because of the desire to ensure instructorsassigned to teach in a redesigned engineering building opted to make every teaching spaceparticularly adapted for an active learning class. This meant a shift in pedagogical practice, withmuch less regard for lecturing as a significant part of the courses. It was clear that many facultywere not aware the redesign was being done with this change in teaching paradigm in mind. Notbecause instructors had not had opportunities to see what was being considered, but rather thatthe building redesign did not rise to their significant concern given all the other demands on theirtime. However, their concerns heightened as the prospective building, and

illuminate the shared history of a community to help with the tracking of learningprojects and membership as well as focus attention on important community practices. Forexample, many disciplines have a top tier journal as an ongoing artifact that helps to orient theircommunity members around important shared ideas.With this framework in mind, we designed a social learning system for our REU program aroundthe practices of engineering and Wenger’s11 community building elements. We expected thissocial learning system to be a more accessible CoP to REU students within the larger communityof practice of photovoltaic (PV) engineers; we can think of this as a smaller CoP within a largerCoP. The REU practices were defined by the larger community, but we

She was able totalk about the social conditions of vulnerability to these hazards and about public understandingof seismic risk, but students seemed uninterested in this information. Instead, they approachedthis interview as a source of facts that they had already decided would be important for a designthat they already had in mind even though their faculty had encouraged them to try not to startdesigning until they had completed interviews.
