This entails raising awareness about the social, economic, andpolitical obstacles faced by women and girls and equipping engineers with the tools to respondcreatively and critically in the dismantling of unjust barriers. (Kantharajah, 2022). In the context of humanitarian engineering and critical consciousness, learning aboutgenerative themes of poverty, sexual violence against girls, and other systemic inequities allowstudents to think about how they would plan, create, and design technologies to solve thoseproblems (Kantharajah, 2022). Encouraging students to learn about and reflect on theseinequities fosters critical reflection and motivates them to envision their roles in driving positivechange through their agency and commitment to

revealedthat they struggle with internalizing the stigma of “deficient preparation and competence that theysensed was held by other students and by sometimes faculty, as well.” [20]. We feel that this mayprovide reasoning for why many students were reluctant to seek out help, struggled withengagement, and empathized with students who shared similar experiences.To address the need for support of low-income students in engineering, it is essential to firstunderstand how financial challenges can impact learning and engagement. Peña et al. compiled alist of ten rules for supporting low-income students in STEM (science, technology, engineering,and mathematics) [21]. In this context, the rules that would be beneficial given the patterns in thedata are
education such as broadening participation in engineering, teaching technology innovations, and engineering entrepreneurship, as well as EEE discipline-based topics such as energy-water-environment nexus and sustainable biomanufacturing.

DegreesIntroduction and BackgroundHistorically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) have played an outsized role in theproduction of African American and Black students in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM). Factors that contribute to observed student success in STEM at HBCUsinclude impactful student-faculty relationships and overall sense of belonging on supportivecampuses [1, 2] as well as various STEM initiatives designed to increase undergraduateachievement and retention at these institutions [3]. These practices and the contributions ofHBCUs to fields, such as engineering, have been critical in advancing diversity in educationdespite continued underrepresentation in many fields [4].

First, theyhouse a variety of tools and technologies that aid students doing the work of an engineer.Second, they provide a place in which students can become entrepreneurs [4].In the past, much of the academic makerspace literature focused on asking questionsrelated to how to outfit a makerspace, how to collect data to determine the flow ofpeople and materials in a makerspace, or how to discover best practices in a makerspace[5-7]. More recently, engineering professors, makerspace managers, and educationalresearchers have begun asking questions related to how to design learning experiencesin makerspaces
