such as relationships with parents, familialresponsibilities, and even physical spaces [48]. This gender socialization begins at an early agewith things like gender-associated colors or gendered-toys, leading to preference choices andinterests later in life [49]. Studies analyzing gendered toys have found that boys’ toys focus onsubject matter like technology or action, while girls’ toys focus on topics like care [50]. Thisearly exposure to gendered occupational roles may then relate directly to the learning childrenengage in and their future educational interests. In STEM and engineering, the gender disparitybetween males and females is well documented [51]. Yet despite increased efforts to attractwomen, as of 2021, women only occupied 14% of

First, the course was jointly developedby faculty in the College of Engineering and Computer Science and the Department ofGeography in the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. This collaboration waspremised on the notion that there is an increasing need for engineers (and thus engineeringstudents) to engage with policy makers because many of society’s intractable problems call forinnovative solutions that are grounded in science, technology and design. A concrete examplefrom our class that we used to demonstrate this included a hands-on exercise in which studentsused crowdsourced mapping technologies to assist the city in mapping ADA (Americans withDisabilities) accessible curb cuts in order

engineers design technologies or solveproblems. Take for example the problematic use of face recognition technologies for policing ofcommunities of color [44]. These technologies are claimed to be race-neutral when they are, infact, aimed at defining what safety and security mean under the premise of benevolence but witha clear racial animus [44]. Adding to the list of colorblind ideologies in engineering spaces is that of enacting certainpractices in engineering classrooms in the name of pedagogical benefit or benevolence withoutquestioning racial bias. Some examples include placement of emergent bilinguals into LimitedEnglish Proficiency (LEP) programs where STEM education is seen as tangential from languageinstruction [45] rather than

Few core technical courses incorporate elements that requirestudents to demonstrate aspects of the creative process in their assigned work. In fact, researchhas shown that both faculty and students feel that creativity, “is not valued in contemporaryengineering education” (p. 762).2This lack of focus on the creative process in the engineering curriculum has been hypothesized tobe a factor in the retention of engineering
