Considering the amount of decisionpoints and interpretations involved in EFA research, the team agrees with recent calls in the fieldfor engineering education scholars to include positionality statements in quantitative work (e.g.,see [11-13]). The project team is composed of one undergraduate student in an engineeringprogram, one research scientist who recently earned a Master’s degree in an engineering programand is an incoming engineering education research PhD student, a doctoral student in educationalpsychology with an engineering background, and a faculty member in an engineering programwhose

' perspectivesAbstractThere is a mismatch or gap between the job-related skills that industrial companies want fromElectrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) graduates and what academic institutions providewhen students graduate from ECE programs. Consequently, and based on the literature, thenumber of contemporary graduates that lack the industry-required skills has increased. Becauseof the skills gap, newly hired engineers may require additional training to attain criticalcompetencies, which cost employers time and money.This paper examines the skills required by ECE graduates in the United States and presentssurvey results from ECE professional engineers.

Isabel noted that addressingmarginalizing behaviors done by peers is out of her control, but she felt that she controls herability to study and remain focused on her end-goal of graduating with an engineering degree.Isabel believed that the deficit perspectives of Black and Brown students were part of everydaylife, something that they would need to get used to while at college, and especially throughouttheir career. Our theme of “Marginalization is just part of Life” also aligned with findingsreported by Wolfe et al. [10]. For example, in Wolfe et al.’s work, exclusion based on race
