methodology to tell thestory of the multitudinous factors in Chavonne Garza’s life that shaped her journey to and withinengineering. This methodology illuminated ways that many institutions, including academia,were designed and continue to operate without her well-being in mind.Researchers have investigated epistemological and ontological ways that marginalized peoplesengage with STEM. Wilson-Lopez et al.’s investigation of funds of knowledge in Latinxadolescent approaches to engineering demonstrated ways that “participants’ everyday skills andbodies of knowledge aligned with engineering practices” [16, p. 278]. Verdín, Smith, and Lucena[17] engaged the funds of knowledge framework to demonstrate ways that first-generationengineering college students
. To circumvent this, educators oftenrequire at least three unique design concepts. Ideally, during iteration, additional concepts arebrainstormed based on initial test results. Figure 3: EDP Log, IdeateOn the Evaluate tab, the design descriptions auto-populate from the Ideate tab, along with thedesign requirements. Students are then asked to predict whether or not each concept is likely orunlikely to meet each of the requirements. These are just beliefs or predictions, but they shouldbe used to help the students to decide which concept(s) are most promising for furtherdevelopment and prototyping. When a student enters an ‘L’ for likely or a ‘U’ for unlikely, thegray cells turn green or red, respectively
interpret the combined graphs effectively. To address this issue,the handwritten key milestones were typed and arranged for legibility using Adobe Photoshoptools (Figure 6). In addition, to make each individual’s emotional state curve and key milestonesmore readily distinguishable from each other, and to enable us to explore the relationship betweencognitive style and emotional state, each individual curve was colorized based on the individual’scorresponding KAI score, as shown in Figure 6. The 10-point ranges were chosen based on the 10-point just-noticeable-difference for individual KAI scores3,23.

Anchored in theoretical foundations ofpsychology and sociology [1-4] and in empirical foundations of our prior work [5-9], we useHuff et al.’s [9] conceptualization of professional shame as “a painful emotional state that occurswhen one perceives they have failed to meet socially constructed expectations or standards thatare relevant to their identity in a professional domain” (p. 414).The findings of this study provide suggestions to engineering faculty members on how they canimprove overall well-being outcomes and cultivate systemically inclusive environments

Students were provided with device that includedthe ADALM 1000, breadboard, Alice software, resistor ratings of 300, 470, 680, and 120 W, aswell as connecting wires. The procedure was demonstrated by the instructor, and the studentsfollowed suit. Prior to the class, Alice software was installed on all of the computers. Differentresistor ratings were placed on the breadboard, and the ADALM 1000's channel A (CHA) andground (GND) were connected to both ends of the resistor using the breadboard and jumper wiresprovided. The ADALM 1000 device was connected to the computer via a USB cable. This
