and inhelping students to manage team conflicts. This is proving to be a powerful addition to DEIadvancement within the College of Engineering.Given the results to date, talks are now in progress with the University about expanding the trainingto other colleges and more staff within engineering. Several participants have expressed that thistraining program has changed how they interact with students for the better and that they are seeingpositive results from engaging in MI conversations with students. This is an exciting step in ourcultural journey.5 References[1] H.

Created in 2013, the Femineer® Program enhances the College of Engineering’scommitment to support underserved populations by recruiting and graduating increased numbersof historically underrepresented students.

Teachers have found themselves quickly creating distancelearning materials to provide equal or greater educational opportunity and engagement as in-person instruction. This shift is met with parallel increased demand on students to independentlymanage their learning and coursework with the absence of in-person supervision, support, andpeer interaction.

with the possibility of a cultural technoscience by drawing onengineering studies to introduce engineering mindsets [31], progress as a political term, and theassumption that new is always better [32]. The module also explores dominant cultural images ofneutral computation by analyzing the operationalization of fairness and the assumed neutrality ofmathematics (i.e. positivism, mathwashing, algorithms/culture distinction) [33]. Finally,objectivity is contested through a feminist studies critique as a segue into discussing how the“objectivity” of technology plays a role in marginalizing the knowledges of oppressed peoples[34]–[36].
