For example, summerbridge programs are commonly hosted by predominantly white institutions (PWIs) to “prepare”students for integration into the engineering curriculum, usually focusing on academic and socialimprovement, offering workshops like math tutoring sessions or interview panels with currentengineers [14], [15], [16]. In developing programs that focus on “fixing” the student to fit thecurrent and historical engineering culture, we foster problematic
