The authors describe multiple contributing factors such asfirst-generation students, the Hispanic cultural value for work ethic and contributing income tothe family, distrust of the American education system, aversion to debt, and a focus on survivalrather than success that is socialized in many working-class Latino children due to poverty issuesand low-income levels.

success of the project. For example, Robert originally did not evaluate eachindividual’s strengths and instead assigned each person parts without a specific direction. Helater found that the roles had to be redistributed because group members did not know how to dotheir parts, so the tasks were then divided by strengths and were more successfully completed.Similarly, Stanley noted that when delegating tasks for their virtual team project, pairing teammembers with tasks that fit their major helped in keeping the project going smoothly by havingcomputer science majors complete the website and the mechanical engineering majors focus onproduct design and feasibility.

The project s research questions are: 1. What does marginalization look like within engineering classrooms where teamwork is a primary feature? 2. How is marginalization legible (or not) to instructors at the classroom level? 3. What are the different ways that instructors respond to incidents of peer-to-peer marginalization? 4.

administration of the Global Perspective Inventory (GPI)?Literature reviewThe NAE report on Educating the Engineer of 2020 states that the engineering graduates shouldbe “technically proficient engineers who are broadly educated, see themselves as global citizens,can be leaders in business and public service, and who are ethically grounded [5].” Most of theprograms that aim to teach cultural intelligence to engineering students opt for some form ofinternational travel, despite the challenges that it represents [4]. Although most of theseprograms do not focus solely on global engineering practices, they present unique learningopportunities that allow engineering students to experience some of the global challenges ahead.When properly conceived and

This workargues that solving complex engineering challenges with societal and ethical implicationsrequires engineers to empathize with clients and colleagues whose perspectives and needs mightdiffer from their own [1]-[4].

For the students who were unable to obtain sufficient parental support, they refusedto seek outside assistance, which led to doubt in their ability to succeed.Academic Socialization and STEM Identity FormationBlack women's confidence in their abilities enables them to develop academic competency andbuild their STEM identities7,8. According to Young et al.47, it is the responsibility of parents toserve as the strongest and perhaps most effective support system for Black girls pursuing STEM-related careers. More specifically, Black parents are ideally placed to support Black girls inestablishing their
Figure 5 - average or “overall” engineering identity [15, Figs. 2, 5]. The authors reference the engineering identity as an ‘average’ in place of “overall” engineering identity. Instrument and interview (Kate & Dan) convergences: From the interviews, we found some student-reported experiences aligned with what was reported in the literature. Both participants identify an engineer as having a hard work ethic. This hard- working identity is reinforced by the high score of performance/competence on the engineering identity instrument. As reported by Godwin and Lee [15], a high score for this measure indicates having strong performance/competence beliefs or the self-beliefs to perform well and understand concepts in

Studies have found that womenwho persist in engineering describe themselves as having an engineering identity [1]. Accordingto Faulkner, however, the normative engineering culture tends to make working relationshipseasier for men than women, and women are “visible as women, yet invisible as engineers” [2, p.169].

In a study of a senior engineeringcapstone course, Banios [18] found an increase of the amount of broader engineering practices(e.g., need analysis, ethics, risk assessment and analysis, iteration, management, and etc.) in thecapstone course resulted in positive exit comments from students.

On the simplest level, this may take the form of asking students what content was unclearat the end of a lecture, and sharing responsibility for the learning of the material by spending afew minutes clarifying those concepts before the period ends. An examination of the function of content suggests that it is ethical to teach less contentin favor of spending a small portion of student energy on self-reflection, helping them to developas learners. When tangential conversations occur about the applications and implications ofcontent in a lecture, instructors recognize these conversations for the valuable learning momentsthat they are, while
