In K-12 contexts,Vakil [9] explains that “research unequivocally shows that high quality STEM learningopportunities in and out of school are largely denied to racially minoritized students” (p.90).Numerous studies have shown that in university programs, students benefit from previoustechnical experience [10], but women are far less likely to have such experiences because ofgendered stereotypes of engineering processes e.g. computer coding [11].There are also challenges arising from students’ interests and the impact of gender stereotypes oncareer choice.

these five features by conceptually grounding our ownpractices in alignment with the EJ principles and movement.Our conceptualization of EJE prioritizes: Commitment to Social Justice: Engineering educators can demonstrate their commitment to social justice by integrating discussions on principles such as equity, diversity, and inclusion into engineering ethics courses and professional development workshops. They can also design engineering projects that specifically address social disparities in access to technology and infrastructure, focusing on solutions that benefit underserved communities. Moreover, advocating for diversity and inclusion within the engineering profession is essential, requiring

The project builds on prior research suggesting thataffective factors including sense of belonging, identity, and self-efficacy play important yet notfully understood roles in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students’academic persistence and successful progression toward careers, and that these factors can proveparticularly influential for individuals from groups that have been historically marginalized inSTEM [1]-[6]. Prior studies conducted as part of this research project have demonstrated impactsof Scholars’ math-related experiences on their developing identities [7] and found that structuresassociated with the scholarship program helped support Scholars’ developing sense of belongingdespite the shift

The Morrill Act of 1862 established engineering as a major atinstitutions currently known as PWIs. From the very conception of the engineering collegiateculture in 1862, minoritized groups have been ostracized and unwelcomed. Engineering as amajor was not created with Communities of Color in mind.

Against this context, multiple internationallearning experiences were proposed to create opportunities for students to fosterglobal competencies. Such learning experiences include study-abroad programs,international service learning projects [6], global internships [7], courses with a globalfocus, second language course [8], and many others.To prepare engineering students for globalization, many universities have establishedmultiple

Unfortunately, total enrollment of underrepresentedminorities has not grown. The recruitment of underrepresented students has proven morechallenging than their retention.

alternative solutions that may ease tensions at issue.Many engineering projects in the U.S. are sources of political conflict, e.g. disputes over thelocation of wind farms; the technology for, and unintended consequences of, extracting naturalgas from shale formations; environmental effects of mining projects; location and risks of off-shore oil drilling; new pipeline location and environmental risks. Although such disputes canreach fever pitch, they have rarely ended in violent conflict, thanks to the country’s strongtraditions and institutions for legal and legislative conflict resolution. In many developingcountries, by contrast, groups that viewed their vital interests at stake in engineering decisionshave sometimes resorted to violence to
