vignette video: “Names and history are almost non-existent inour engineering courses, and numbers and equations are actually what we deal with….” Thus,the participant focuses on using engineering for new innovations and acknowledges that ahistorical lens is not used in the engineering curriculum at the institution he attends. Participant 65 mentions his experiences with HC. He notes that in his senior design class,the “…instructor specified that the senior project leaders could not be White males. . .which wasprobably the biggest show of racism I have seen on campus.” Additionally, the participantdescribes that his “biggest personal obstacle has been being a father during undergraduate andgraduate work,” and “it can sometimes be frustrating

notes, emails, and medicaldocumentation to create my autoethnography [28], [32]. After building the phenomenology andautoethnography, I triangulated the results. Triangulation is the use of multiple sources ofinformation to build a coherent justification of themes based on convergence [27]. Using amixed-method approach with Harvey’s process allowed me to use two strategies to check thequalitative validity of the results. Qualitative validity refers to the consistency of the researcher’sapproach across data sources, methodologies, and projects [27].Results and discussionOnce I completed the data collection and analysis portion of the broader study, I met with twocontributors. Both contributors were previously authorized by the University of
