individualism andexceptionalism through the interdisciplinary and theoretical lens of Critical Race Theory andCritical Whiteness Studies has highlighted the ways Whiteness has flourished, particularly inengineering, and helped support these two pillars of Whiteness. Thus, through a historicallycontextualized interdisciplinary analysis, we seek to shift the conversation to focus onquestioning the ways Whiteness affects pedagogy and research conducted in engineeringeducation research.Introduction White supremacy has a firm grip on engineering and engineering education research.However, in order to show “The Enduring, Invisible, and Ubiquitous Centrality of Whiteness,”[1], we will provide a funneled context that will demonstrate to the reader how

Knowledge creation and synthesis are the core of research. How we engage in research orknowledge creation is deeply intertwined with our experiences and the language we use to makesense of the world around us. For us, the co-authors of this paper, the triad concept of Kaya(Body), Vacha (Speech), and Manas (Mind) in the Indian philosophy of ethics and spiritualitypoints to the interdependence of experience, language, and knowledge. Lakoff and Johnson [1]present the same idea as the core motivation for their germinal book Metaphors We Live By; theysuggest that dominant views on meaning-making in Western philosophy and linguistics areinadequate for the way we understand our world and ourselves.

purpose of this practice paper is to suggest a mechanical engineering reasoning diagram(MERD) for equitable teaching in writing-intensive engineering labs 1. Reasoning diagrams aredesigned to describe concepts and the relationships among these concepts in a structured andvisual way. In order to facilitate engineering thinking among undergraduates, a MERD wasdeveloped in this study to capture engineer experts' narratives about their projects and the logicof key Mechanical Engineering (ME) concepts. The model of engineering thinking would alsodemonstrate rhetorical moves of the technical writing process of engineering; this mentalmodeling relates metacognitive knowledge to disciplinary writing.

Ultimately, the study advocates for incorporating pre- and post-lectureassessments in courses.

recognition of the importance of diversity and inclusion in engineering education hasgrown in recent years [1], little is known about the best practices for supporting neurodiversestudents [2-3]. It has been suggested that neurodiverse students benefit from course assessmentsthat allow for a more flexible mode of expressing knowledge [3]. However, evidence forimproved learning outcomes on different types of course assessments is largely anecdotal.Characteristics associated with different forms of neurodiversity, such as attention deficithyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum, depression, and anxiety, are suggested to benormally distributed in the population [2]. Indeed, research suggests that these conditions arebest conceptualized as

discourse ondiversity, equity, and inclusion in engineering. Nonbinary and trans* students are rarely even thefocus of research centering on LGBTQ+ student experiences in larger fields such as STEMeducation and higher education studies. Their exclusion can be attributed, in part, to the lack ofdata collected in large national datasets [1], [2], [3]. For instance, the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) has received multiple open letters requesting that NSF collect nonbinary andtransgender identities in their Survey of Earned Doctorates and NSF Center for Science andEngineering Statistics surveys [4], [5], [6]. But the release of the 2024 Survey of EarnedDoctorates revealed they had not heeded these calls; it also omits sexual orientation altogether[7

Rarely do these opportunities include a focus on the relational or affectiveaspects of education, rather, they focus on design and building [2].Learning through practice is not specific to engineering education.

Faster feedbackresults in better learning because the feedback has better connection to the work when thememory of the work is fresh.One way to reduce grading time is to employ low-resolution grading, that is, grading methods thatuse low numbers of possible grade levels. Grading on a scale of 100% without fractionalpercentage points has 100 levels. Grading on an A-B-C-D-F scale without pluses and minuses hasfive levels.
