looking for”: An intersectional collaborative autoethnography exploring pathways to engineering design doctoral programsAbstractThis research paper used a collaborative autoethnographic approach to explore the two authors’respective pathways to engineering design doctoral programs. Prior work has highlighted variousways that access to engineering graduate school is inequitable. Through our collaborativeautoethnography, we investigated how existing inequities harm and impede access for studentswith multiple marginalized identities, such as the first author (KC), while simultaneouslyproviding advantages to students with more privileged identities, such as the second author (RL).As part of our collaborative autoethnography

However, among those, none focused explicitly on theexperiences of marginalized students in STEM. This finding here underscores one benefit of thestructured approach for identifying articles as part of a formal scoping literature process:highlighting areas yet to be explored.

These numbersdo not just disincentivise students from pursuing their desired majors and their passionsbut also suggest a need for an immediate change to improve disciplinary education, ifnot completely returning to an integrative multidisciplinary approach.The vitality of multidisciplinary education is therefore evident. However, the approachtowards this collaborative education is just as important.

better prepare students for the 21st century.BackgroundCurrent indicators are worrisome. The most recent international comparison study doneby the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) in 2007, showedthat math scores of U.S. 4th and 8th graders have increased but science scores haveremained unchanged since 19957. The National Assessment of Education Progress(NAEP) reported in 2006 that while science learning among fourth graders increasedsince the survey was last administered, this was not the case for students in grades eightand twelve8. These results were partially due to teachers lacking the content knowledge,pedagogical knowledge, and experience to teach the subject, lack of coherence in pre-service and professional
