However, despite their central role in workforce development,faculty members often lack the resources and training needed to gain a deeper understanding ofthe diverse experiences and identities their students bring to the engineering classroom. This isespecially challenging for students with minoritized identities that are non-apparent or hiddenand cannot be easily observed by faculty. As part of the on-going Audio for Inclusion (A4I)Project, this paper and poster discuss the initial findings from focus groups with nine engineeringfaculty members from three universities nationwide.

The hypothesis of the proposed research isthat, by starting with abstraction, students will build a stronger connection between the physicalworld and the mechanics modeling. In turn, this will improve student’s perceptions about theirability to solve engineering mechanics problems and their motivation to pursue careers asengineers in the future. The specific research questions we seek to answer are: (1) In what waysdoes teaching students how to abstract the physical world affect their self-efficacy to solveproblems in a basic

Undergraduate research is a “high-impact practice” [25] with positiveeffects on both student persistence and learning. Large studies show that students with researchexperiences have a stronger intention to pursue a STEM career than students who do notparticipate [26], [27].
