FrameworkTo examine the cultural narratives embedded in a pre-college engineering summer camp, weposition our research through the theoretical lens of cultural production theory. Culturalproduction theory examines “local meaning(s) produced by groups in everyday practice, theirconnection to larger social structures, and the possibility, no matter how slim of challenging thestatus quo” [3, p. 5]. By using the lens of cultural production theory, we can evaluate the waysindividual and collective agency operate in the structural constraints of daily practice to constructculture [4]. Through this evaluation, we can identify the patterns in our actions (practices), theways we label our efforts (intentions), and the ways we describe ourselves (histories

Trans Survey [6]. This landmarkstudy found systemic marginalization across nearly every institution including highereducation. Additionally, the study found poorer health care access and life outcomesfor TGNC people of color and with disabilities. We can reasonably hypothesize thatthese trends extend into engineering undergraduates’ lives. By studying the way thatthose with experiences of invisibility or marginalization navigate engineering we mayuncover fundamental insight into how gender shapes culture and climate.Art: Art Twink (Long Beach, CA) Poem: “Prayer” by xoài phạm (Brooklyn, NY)[6] James, S., Herman, J., Rankin, S., Keisling, M., Mottet, L., and Anafi, M.

the research byKnight and Novoselich, students used self-selected identities that could be categorized underpersonal traits and their pre-collegiate experience [3]. Another category of self-selected identitiesfocused on social identities (gender identity, race/ethnicity, sexual identity). For example,students referred to being/having fully abled bodies or being conscious of abilities and the impactit had on experiences. Another example is age, where students spoke of age in the context ofbeing young and how that impacts whether they are valued or respected as engineers. Table 1.

The ideas we present here are part of a much larger thought process (Authors, 2021, in progress) in which we are thinking about the ways in which we use quantitative methods in engineering education, and how they might be better realigned or reformed to achieve the same diversity and equity outcomes we feel are more readily achieved by qualitative methods at the time. 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

theory, this identity drives future activity.In Finklestein (2008)’s study, motive becomes unimportant in sustaining volunteerism once a volunteerrole identity forms. It is also important to note that motivations can change, and it may not always reflecttheir initial motive and reasons for staying. Therefore, organizations should focus on recruitment andretaining volunteers that attract a diverse pool of individuals.Organizations will be able to recruit from a larger pool of individuals by ensuring that the task satisfiesthe diverse functions of the volunteers’ needs. Researchers reveal that if volunteer recruits can find taskswith benefits that match their personal motives, their volunteering efforts will result in higher satisfactionand
