In summary, this accessible framework of invited speaker seminarsfollowed by student-facilitated discussions offers an inexpensive yet highly impactful method toenable engineering graduate students to develop as more aware, responsible, and inclusiveleaders within our field.IntroductionIn the summer of 2020, academic communities across the United States grappled with their rolesin perpetuating power structures that exclude underrepresented groups from science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM), resulting in the #ShutDownSTEM and#ShutDownAcademia movements [1], [2]. A salient feature of academia as a power structure isits role in gatekeeping the professional positions typically afforded the ability to shape

An effective cybersecurity professional shouldpossess technical knowledge and skills to identify weaknesses in an organization's informationinfrastructure and implement adequate preventive measures. For example, the responsibilities ofan information security analyst include security monitoring and analysis, incident response,intrusion prevention, and penetration testing. According to an estimate from the U.S. Bureau ofLabor, the employment of information security analysts is projected to grow 31 percent from2019 to 2029 - a growth rate much faster than the average for all occupations [1].

However, internshipexperiences are not equally accessed by all undergraduate engineering students [4], as it is firmlyestablished that minoritized students may encounter institutional barriers to career resources andbe stymied in their professional careers by structural inequities, leading to lower senses ofbelonging and uncertain professional identities [5]–[7].

Engineers are expected to solve grand challenges by applying math and science skills, butmost undergraduate curricula teach these technical skills in isolation, without connecting them tothe challenges facing society today. Research has shown that providing an applied sociotechnicalcontext within the engineering disciplines can enhance learning [1], [2], [3] and increasestudents’ satisfaction and interest - especially among marginalized groups in engineering [3].Equations, free body diagrams, and textbook homework assignments dominate typical in-classengineering discussion, so students can lose sight of their field’s significance. This disconnectcan make it harder for students to understand the social responsibility that comes withengineering

This includes in-school opportunities, such as the introduction ofthe Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) [4], which seek to integrate engineering andtechnology into science curricula at all levels, along with a range of informal STEM experiences[5].

However, these forms of assessment position theinstructor as the sole evaluator of proficiency, which leaves little space for students to engage inassessing their own learning [1]. Yet, to prepare for engineering practice and the lifelonglearning that necessarily accompanies it, students need to develop strategies to self-evaluate thequality of their knowledge and skills [2]. Students could begin to do so during theirundergraduate years.
