Forexample, the work of Mejia and Wilson-Lopez [18] captured how Latino/a adolescents leveragedtheir engineering-related funds of knowledge to create a solution in a design project or in problemsfaced in their everyday lives. Their study found that high school students’ funds of knowledge canbe relevant to engineering bodies of knowledge, skills, and habits of mind such as systemsthinking, scientific or mathematical knowledge, production and processing [19], [20].

In addition, four students transferred toother universities but continued to participate in the interviews. Student pseudonyms are used inthis paper. Students were compensated $100 per interview and $10 for taking the online surveys.There are a variety of limitations to keep in mind when interpreting the results of the study. Thestudents interviewed may or may not represent ‘typical’ engineering students. These studentswere initially attending four doctoral-awarding institutions, thus the full spectrum of institutiontypes were not represented (such as liberal arts focused, bachelor’s or
