Environmental engineering education may involve more interdisciplinary, community-and society-focused approaches than we might see in other engineering majors, although it is notyet clear how topics relating to gender and race are integrated into the curriculum (Section 2.1.2).In the broader social landscape of work, culture, and practice, femininities have strong culturalcasting in environmental spaces; women face challenges to being recognized as experts, holdingleadership roles, and having political (public sphere) representation than men do not face,challenges that are deepened for non-white women, and challenges despite bearingdisproportionate weight of the consequences of environmental degradation (alongside men

This is true as engineering makes use of and combinesSTEM subjects like science, technology, and math. On top of that, STEM and engineering fieldsare characterized as rigorous fields and students in both fields apply and learn critical thinking andproblem-solving skills in their curriculum. Thus, STEM and engineering can be considered similarfields in terms of their focus on science, technology, and mathematics and their application to real-world problems.

Global identity refers to an individual’s sense of self as amember of the global community, encompassing awareness of global issues, appreciation forcultural diversity, and a sense of global responsibility [4].STEM education plays a pivotal role in addressing global challenges and driving innovation.However, STEM fields have traditionally focused on technical skills, often overlooking theimportance of intercultural competence and global awareness [5], [6] [7].

These issues appear to be due, inpart, to the fact that there is no universally-agreed-upon cannon of makerspace best practices andlimited high-quality makerspace standards-aligned curricula.In an effort to support K-12 educators integrating makerspaces and maker-based activities intotheir instruction, we created The SMU Maker Education Project.
