But those are all questions I ask myself before I actually say something or before I do something.A significant amount of mental capacity and energy is consumed with identity expression. Thenarratives shared from the students’ perspective are that they must be mindful of their identityand how others perceive them to be successful in matriculating through engineering spaces. Thestudents shared the common articulation that their educational pursuits were situated within thelarger contexts of Black political and educational struggle [21].

In the course, students must showaptitude in key course learning objectives, separated into three skill sets: Required Skills, MajorSkills, and Minor Skills. To test students in the skills, the instructor adapted previous homework,in class assignments, and exam questions to meet the needs of the listed skill. For some skills, thestudents can submit more than once, whereas in others, the students might need to submit a newassignment problem. In all cases, students have the chance to be evaluated, receive correction, andthen be evaluated again. This cycle builds trust between students and

Fifth, in a perfect world, working before graduate school would under-girdan excellent graduate experience. However, to paraphrase a famous quote, grad school delayedis often grad school denied.
