However, Tohidinia and Mosakhani [8] contend that knowledge sharing involves both knowledge collection and donation.

The story is different in college where she is often the only Latine student in her classes. There, she hides the competencies learned in her community as they do not look as cutting edge as the robotics and design examples in the models of engineering portfolios. Her ideas are powerful yet frequently misunderstood by her peers, most of whom grew up in affluent communities.

First, it is designed to encouragestudents to tap into their funds of knowledge, or their unique perspectives imparted by family,community, and peers [1]. The funds of knowledge framework, which was originally developedby Vélez-Ibáñez and Greenberg in 1992 in Tucson, Arizona [2], [3], views students’ priorknowledge and life experiences as an asset that augments student learning [4] rather thanexpecting students to adapt to a way of thinking imparted by the course or college environment[5]. The implementation of asset-based frameworks in STEM courses at the K-12 and post-secondary level aims to “change the ways of knowing that are valued within engineering.” [6]Second, research suggests
