These efforts could includedeveloping relationships with disability services offices and other offices and centers thatprovide direct support to disabled and struggling students, as well as to affinity groups andcenters that offer community and specific supports for students with various diverse identities oncampus. Building relationships with such groups could allow librarians and educators to interactdirectly with students, giving them the opportunity to share their experiences, frustrations,interests, and needs. Such outreach could provide insight into the needs of a wide variety ofstudents and

Key Words - STEM Identity, Sense of Belonging, Persistence, Community, Self AwarenessINTRODUCTION AND PROBLEM STATEMENTMany institutions of higher education in the US do not reflect the racial and ethnicdiversity of our nation amongst its degree recipients.

Engagement with community partners as part of an engineering designcourse has been described as a way to enhance empathy and students’ interpersonal interactions[25]. Moreover, application scenarios via role play have been shown to be valuable for improvingempathetic communication [26]. Role play can allow students to take on worldviews that may bedistinct from their own through consideration of alternative perspectives while craftingempathetic and non-empathetic responses.Other scholars have described

Even by analyzing just pre-activity interviews with Faculty Fellows andfinal interviews with Student Fellows, we can build insights related to this engineering-focusedcontext which frames conditions for both the interdisciplinarity pedagogy and the studentengagement that we are working to foster. Our findings illustrate that both interdisciplinarity andengagement are limited by the institutional context of engineering education, while alsorevealing how this kind of work can help students reflect on the limits of a traditionalengineering education and consider their own ability to advocate for change.Interdisciplinary Trading Zones In and Through PedagogyOur CREATE/STS

Small-d discourse is simply the features of a language,including the way it is spoken or written, whereas big-D Discourse is “the ways in which peopleenact and recognize socially and historically significant identities or ‘kinds of people’ throughwell-integrated combinations of language, actions, interactions, objects, tools, technologies,beliefs, and values” (p. 418).
