vehicles.Feedback from students revealed high excitement and engagement, along with a deeperunderstanding of the topics in lesser-known areas of Optimization, Human Factors Engineering,and Robotics. Our experience supports the value of hosting more outreach programs on variousengineering topics, utilizing hands-on activities with enriching learning experiences to broaden 14access for diverse student populations and encourage interest in engineering and related fields.STEM programs should continue to focus on providing outreach programs for underrepresentedpopulations to nurture young minds and diversify representation in STEM fields.

A critical considerationfor me was the belief that discussions around topics such as race, gender, class, etc. should not berelegated to one week focused on “equity.” I was worried that relegating all equity- and justice-related content to one week would devalue it in the minds of students and perpetuate the idea thatall the other content in the course was neutral or apolitical. My course had two full weeksdedicated especially to gender and colonialism in the course. In addition, most of the other weeksincluded concepts, ideas, and examples

Theconstruct of global competency is clearly epistemological, but exact relationships between thetwo have not yet been investigated.Empirical Inspiration for Theoretical ExplorationSince 2011, we have been conducting interviews with twenty-seven current and former civilengineering students at a public university in the United States.

engineering majors and others persistthrough completing the degree [3].Numerous studies have proved the link between a strong sense of engineering identity andsuccess in the field [4]. This ties directly into retention rates as students who see their ownvalidity in engineering disciplines are more likely to stay in undergraduate engineering programs[9]. With this in mind, some universities have tried to increase retention rates by creating spacesfor students to do what we’ve termed, “make.” Dougherty’s [5] universally accepted definitionof “making” encompasses traditional trades like woodworking, sewing, and soldering with moremodern activities including coding, 3D-printing, and laser cutting [6]. Our definition of“making” is similar, but
