during both the 3-hour research course and 1-hour seminar and were often a majorfocal point in students’ course projects, these issues did not emerge as a major theme across thepost-course concept maps. Some students included vulnerable populations on their concept mapsas something needing attention, and others noted it in their explanations, but its limitedappearance raises new questions for both the research team and the program about strategies tohelp students more effectively integrate these ethical concerns into their conceptualunderstanding. In part, as suggested by the results, concept maps alone may not be a sufficienttool to capture students’ understanding of a domain as complex as DRRM. At the same time, it ispossible that some
had similar ways of thinking. These students highlightedaspects of their own or their peers’ latent diversity that made them different than the describednorms described by Naomi, Ayida, and Casey above. These students focused on personality(mainly introversion and extraversion), people who solved problems differently (top-down orbottom-up approaches), and work ethic as ways in which their peers showed aspects of latentdiversity that made them belong in engineering.The interview process provided an opportunity for students like Nathan (mechanical engineer) toclarify how he felt about diversity of thought in engineering. When asked about diverse ways ofthinking, Nathan focused on the introversion and extraversion dimension of personality

Taking this course was motivated by my experiences in a course on decolonizingmethodologies in education. This course shook me in a way that made it clear that colonialismand white-centered ideologies were at work in educational settings. There I had the space toquestion for whom science has been created, and why issues of representation dig much deeperthan getting minority individuals into science disciplines. Moreover, I got to be in space where Iwas truly uncomfortable because of my whiteness. Coming into this course, I hoped to find morespaces to be uncomfortable and

For example, some student mentor pairings have notbeen ideal. Personality clash can be a problem for some students that are more sensitive than others. So, changes inmentors have been made mid program for a couple of students. These changes did work out much better in the endbut was still a challenge to face.In order to help with the stress that arises during the program, the new workshops are being developed that will teachthe students new methods for dealing with stress.
