However, many of these institutions are not wellprepared to effectively educate students in this increasingly multicultural environment. Thediversity of engineering faculty in the US is woefully low consisting of 17.4% women, 3.8%Latinx, 2.4%, African American (Roy 2019). This mismatch in diversity between engineeringfaculty and students requires active intervention in the teaching practices of current faculty toensure the success of the underrepresented students increasingly enrolling in our institutions.University Diversity Disparity and Project MotivationAngelo State University is a public institution with a Carnegie classification of M1: Master'sColleges and

However, there is still a call for more practice-based experiencesthroughout the curriculum [4]. Instead of focusing on packing more into engineering curriculum,we explore the idea of leveraging the many design experiences students are already engaging inby advocating for the development of a “bridging language”.Students are already engaging in a breadth of design experiences throughout their lifetime.Engineering students engage in a number of formal design education experiences - such ascornerstone and capstone classes or design electives - throughout
