week for a formal project meeting.Before each weekly meeting, the lead engineer for the week sends out an agenda. The agenda isbased on a standardized template (see Appendix 2) developed by the course coordinator. As a team,the students are held accountable to develop an agenda, run the meeting and complete a writtenrecord (meeting minutes) of what was discussed. This process forces the team to reflect on theirsuccess and struggles for the week while also ensuring that they remain productive and on pace tocomplete the project on time.Field-and place-based Learning: Mandatory Site VisitLearning can take place anywhere, not only in a classroom or laboratory. Leveragingenvironments outside the classroom can significantly enhance student
racial identity (i.e., visibility ofPOC) was often equated with inability and stereotypes in engineering [40]. Thus, claiming thatcolor-neutral attitudes exist in engineering negates the lived experiences of POC and thehypervisibility they are constantly exposed to in classroom, laboratories, or team activities.Colorblindness, and the idea that attitudes and behaviors in engineering are race-neutral, alsolead to issues of “otherness,” racialization, and cultural dissonance [41], [42], all of which havedetrimental effects on students of color. Moreover, colorblindness institutionalizes racism without asking for accountability whenracist acts occur. For instance, McGee argued that racism in STEM continues to exist becauseracially hostile

tovarious engineering disciplines by providing tours through campus engineering laboratories,presentations from faculty members and engaging in camp-led engineering design challenges.The DeLaMare Library Makerspace at the University of Nevada, Reno provides access tomaking equipment and tools for students, faculty, staff and community members. While thespace is primarily used by university students, the makerspace staff works closely with K-12University-led programs during the summer months to provide activities for camp participants.These activities utilize hands on learning as the students engage with makerspace competenciesand machinery. Connections to campus K-12 programs strengthen campus partnerships andsupport the universities' objective of
research laboratory groups; andothers noted that they know they “should” go but when events come up they just don’t attend. Worryingly,some students expressed the sentiment that because they’re only there for two years, its not “worth it” tobuild a new friend base, seeing these “extra” things as purely social and not part of their technical progressand success.Faculty Behaviors and Departmental Support.This theme is potentially the most valuable theme from the paper, pulling together how the challenges andthe types of support can be enacted by faculty. The four categories of behaviors from Posselt’s frameworkare: Visibility, Responsiveness, Downplaying Status, and Cultivating Trust. We did not see explicitinstances of “Downplaying status” from the
