Not surprising, if teachers show contempt or a lackof interest in a particular problem or body of research, students’ emotions of boredom, irritation,or anxiety surface [4]. If “both knowledge and emotion are inescapably matters of concern ineducation is one which has been reached by generations of teachers, parents, and educationistsfrom the time of Plato to the present day,” [5, p.229] why are discussing the importance ofemotions within the engineering classroom (and field in general) is still seen as taboo?Theoretical/conceptual frameworkSymbolic Interactionism To better understand the focal group for this study, we must explain the framework ofsymbolic interactionism that

They alsoengage the stakeholders in iterative cycles of prototyping, testing, and reflecting to develop andsustain solutions [1].

How they have achieved different stages of their racial identitydevelopment affects their STEM reflective identity, competence/ability, value/interest, and assimilationinto STEM culture [10]. Black males and females construct their STEM identities as they develop theirgender identities. Collins [10] notes how racial identity development and gender identity begin to formbefore the development of any STEM interest. The relationship between Black students' gender-basedracial identity and their interest and persistence in STEM is complex.

For the high-rise activity, during the presentation,the teams had to simulate an earthquake shake test to demonstrate the building’s ability towithstand a possible earthquake.

Since this survey was at a predominantly undergraduateinstitution, it does not necessarily reflect what might be at a research university. The last fourtopics in the list are of primary importance at these universities [9]. Unless the institution valuesmentoring undergraduates, the faculty would see mentoring undergraduate students will not helpwith their professional development. Undergraduate research can result in publications but oftendoes not. These students need a great deal of supervision, flexibility in their schedule, andpatience on the part of the faculty mentor.

These values tend to reflect the interests andneeds of those who have historically held power in society [16, 20, 22].The idea that technology is not neutral and is designed by humans also brings to questiondeterministic narratives of technology. Technological determinism assumes that technologydevelops in a self propelling fashion, where new technology is inevitable and humans mustsimply accept and adapt to it [23]. This framing absolves the creators of any responsibility inanticipating harm and designing to mitigate the negative impacts of the technology they design[17].
