Of the 61 studentsin the fall 2022 cohort, 37 were civil engineering majors and 24 were environmental engineeringmajors.Exploring CEE: Stories There were multiple story-telling interventions throughout the course. During the firstweek, the instructor and TA shared their personal stories about how they ended up in college andstarted their personal career path. The students were then asked to share their personal storieswithin small groups about how they ended up at Georgia Tech. The small

slowlyincreased (Cunninghame et al., 2016), this group still remains largely underrepresented in STEMdisciplines (Moon et al., 2012). This discrepancy in representation reflects larger issues ofmarginalization in STEM fields and higher education at large. Current support structures fordisabled people remain ineffective, as accessing necessary resources requires navigatingphysical, cultural, and bureaucratic barriers (Groen-McCall et al., 2018). These barriers onlycontinue to widen for disabled students planning to pursue engineering careers (Prema & Dhand,2019), as seen in the high unemployment rate for disabled scientists and engineers, which isgreater than that of the entire U.S. labor force (Lee, 2010; NSF, 2017).

This environment influences a Blackstudent’s STEM identity because it houses the academic interactions Collins [10] defines as themicrocosms that develop a STEM identity. The external environment should also reinforce a Blackstudent’s gender-based racial identity.
