Cincinnati Dr. Joel Alejandro (Alex) Mejia is a Professor of Engineering Education in the Department of Engineering and Computing Education at the University of Cincinnati. His work examines the intersections of engineering, social justice, and critical pedagogies. He focuses on dismantling deficit ideologies in STEM, centering Latino/a/x student experiences—especially of those along the U.S.-Mexico border. His work draws on Chicana/o/x studies, raciolinguistics, and bilingual education to explore how language, race, and socialization shape engineering pathways and engineering practice. In 2025, Dr. Mejia received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) Award for his contributions to

Literature ReviewAcademic EntrepreneurshipAcademic entrepreneurship refers to the activities in which faculty, students, and researchersbecome involved to translate research, knowledge, and innovations into commercially viableproducts, services, and entities. These activities include patenting, the founding of startupcompanies, consulting, and licensing agreements with industry, all of which generate economicdevelopment and societal impact from academic science (Etzkowitz, 2003; Rothaermel et al.,2007).

Within the stories shared by minoritized women, many were recentlyexploited during their time as doctoral students, research scientists, postdoctoral scholars, and asearly career faculty within STEM fields in academia. Many of these incidents could becharacterized as hierarchical microaggressions. Listening to their stories we can consider theextent to which individual bad actors were responsible for these harms, versus exploring thesystem-level conditions and cultures that enable these situations. This work encourages faculty tolean into the power, positionality, and agency they possess to work toward creating a culture

Therefore, American engineers who transition toindustry or pursue graduate research are likely to work directly with foreign-born professionals.It is then incredibly important for students to develop the intercultural communicationcompetence to work effectively with persons from other countries and cultures.
