federal poverty line while more billionairesare created daily, police budgets swell, an eviction crisis looms, and climate change rapidlyaccelerates, the depth and breadth of the connections of technological advancement to mutuallyreinforcing systems of oppression in the United States have prompted a need to re-examineengineering education [1]-[5]. Given this dire state, it is critical that the engineering communitygrapples with the role engineers play in perpetuating fatal couplings of power and difference andthe steps that can be taken to disrupt the systems and cycles of violence from which theseinequitable couplings stem [6]. As Winner [7] noted, engineers engage in tasks that embed powerrelations into the technologies they produce and

The attempt to supportBlackness while neglecting the racialized experiences of Black students at the hands of Whitesupremacy is a phenomenon scholars have found to be commonplace among PWIs. As PWIsbegan establishing themselves as educational and research powerhouses, White malesupremacy was the grounding ideology for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) education (Slaton, 2010). Scientific racism in the 1800s and 1900s was a product ofperceptions and beliefs about the inferiority of Black people (Roberts, 2011). These beliefspermeate

Due to their proximity, a specificagreement exists between Canada and the USA [4], yet other ones were established with othercountries for the same purpose. Thus, accreditation boards are highly influenced by one anotherand changes on one side can inspire great improvements in the profession worldwide.In 2014, CEAB reviewed its accreditation process to align their requirements to thoseimplemented by ABET by adding a list of 12

between the conferring of science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) bachelor’s degrees to minoritized groups at four-yearpredominantly White institutions (PWIs) and the number of STEM faculty that representminoritized groups [1], [2]. 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. Studies have shown that a diverseengineering faculty contributes to improving access and success of diverse students [3].Considering this, it is important to address the effects of the lack of minority

A key component of successful career work in engineering is the ability to work as a partof a collaborative group or team. In the 2018-2019 criteria from the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET)—the governing body for undergraduate accreditation—student outcomes related to collaboration and teamwork are directly referenced as part of“prepares graduates to enter the professional practice of engineering” (p. 39).
