Consider the sentence “I am”. With this opening adapted from a poem by Richard O. Moore (2010), we emphasize howsome of the simplest aspects of the human experience contain vast complexity: identity;belonging; education; justice. The CoNECD community focuses on these aspects and centers thescholarship and practice of equity and

pathways to equity. The program culminates with an optional online competition with studentsubmissions judged by industry professionals. This program has been ongoing since the 2019-2020 school year, and program evaluation efforts have been undertaken since the program’sinception. Participatory evaluation framework principles were followed, including a process toobtain input from program leaders and staff to create program goals and a logic model that mapsout the program’s activities and how these link to the goals. The evaluation includes thecollection of data from all program participants (i.e., teachers, students, and judges) via onlinesurveys conducted immediately after the conclusion of the online competition. In these onlinesurveys
to develop, implement, and refine an out-of-school elementary engineering program.An overarching goal in this effort is to uncover what roles and methods parents, mentors,parents, and other community members might play in developing student awareness, interest,and preparation for engineering careers. Families were recruited for participation throughinformational fliers, social media posts, and partnerships with local community organizations(e.g., Boys & Girls Clubs, local schools, public libraries). Programs occurred between Januaryand June of each year (2019-2022). While aspects of the program evolved to meet the specificneeds and circumstances of participating families, the general program, materials, and projectformats remained
developer in a multi-national corporate in India, I caught theAmerican Visa fever because of the stories I heard from my peers and colleagues. Luckily, I hadthe chance to move to the US after my wedding and so I moved to the US in 2017. But thepolitical situation when I arrived made me realize that the American life is not always what isportrayed in India. In the beginning of 2019, I had to move to Kenya, to support my spouse withhis research. I thought Kenya would be mostly desert and hunting-based culture with no Indiangrocery/food available like in the US. To my surprise, Kenya is a beautiful country and has alarge Indian population, with a lot of Indian grocery stores and restaurants. Indians have alsobeen recognized officially as a Kenyan

complex nature of engineering problemsis the requirement to utilize multiple forms of reasoning, including intuition, to effectively solvethem.Common expectations of engineering graduates focus on the ability to solve open-ended,complex problems and incorporate intuitive reasoning in their problem-solving processes. Forexample, a recent revision of the undergraduate student outcomes by the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) outlines an expectation for the modern engineer to solveengineering problems within dynamic contexts. This is present in the language of three of theseven ABET Student Outcomes proposed for the 2019-20 accreditation year, either implicitly asthe application of design situated in complex social systems or

In addition, students get a chance to see andexperience the greater community to which they belong. Through S-L, engineering students

. It was designed as an outreach project for the Society ofWomen Engineers university organization. The goal was to expose middle and high schoolstudents to engineering, so they consider pursuing engineering in college.In 2008 EPIC evolved to both day and residential programs and was offered for three weeksserving 300 students. This gave out of state students the opportunity to participate. The cost of theresidential program was $1,400 for one week.Then, from 2017 to 2019, EPIC went to a full residential program as the demand for theresidential program increased and the day program decreased. EPIC again grew in size servingover 700 6th-12th grade students. Participants expanded to include out of state and out of thecountry students. The cost
