What are the lived experiences (stories) of Black Doctoral engineering students in matriculating from historically Black college/university (HBCU) to a predominately white institution (PWI) for graduate studies?Background Moving from undergraduate studies to a graduate program is a difficult transition notonly due to the increase in workload and responsibility, but also changes in overall culture withinthe academic setting. Austin (2002) found that when attempting to socialize themselves ingraduate programs “[s]tudents must make sense of the academy and its values, its expectations ofthem as graduate students, [the academy’s

The modelconnects Mejia et al.’s critical consciousness model [17], which engages Freire’s principles ofcritical pedagogy [18], with Hassan’s model of learning-assessment interactions [19]. “Mejia etal.’s model is represented in the center of this model, showing relationships between theory,action, reflection, and concepts of scholarship, praxis, concientização, and liberation that resultfrom their overlap. Hassan’s model of learning-assessment interactions is overlaid, with theoverlap taking the form of reflection as an assessment method and action as a learning method”[13

That is a central issue of this discussion.As a matter of policy in the 1980’s governments seem to have taken the view that it is amatter of the economic good that students should study technology in schools [15], and by1992 a World Council of Associations for Technology Education had been founded. Theconference proceedings associated with the founding of this organization, had the title“Technological Literacy, Competence and Innovation in Human Resource Development”[16].Yet, in this extensive report there are only two papers that mention technological literacy[17; 18].

Our treatment and presentation of demographic data variables here represent a starting point. 1 The “doing” of engineering education is full of many delicate power

-emphasizing social and economicpillars. Furthermore, most instruction on sustainability, as reported in the literature, appears tofocus on teaching the engineering student to be an engineer who practices sustainabledevelopment rather than a consumer who has a role in sustainable practice. In part, thisemphasis on the engineer's role in sustainability is a result of the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET)'s mandate that engineering undergraduates complete theirdegrees having achieved student outcome (c): “...an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability

The OPTIONS camp for boys is hosted as a day camp, not aresidential experience, on the university campus and includes many of the same components asthe programs for girls. Mentors and networking are not as heavily emphasized in the camp formiddle school boys; workshops with hands-on learning and industry tours are coordinated tointroduce the young men to the myriad of opportunities engineering presents.After 25 years of operation, the essential
