paradigms that undergird engineering education, practice, and industry [12],[14]–[17]. Typically, these explorations are concerned with the paradigms, or beliefs aboutknowledge (epistemology), the nature of being (ontology), and methodological threads inengineering education. Many scholars also study the sociocultural norms and assumptions thatexist within formative engineering spaces [18]–[22]. However, one underexplored area isengineering research more broadly. Most work examining engineering culture concerns itselfwith connections to the education and training of new engineers. Explicitly exploring the spaceof engineering research, which is often occupied by graduate students, engineering faculty, andresearch scientists, would provide critical

Community college faculty areaware of the importance of partnerships, and many desire to collaborate with members ofindustry to provide professional development opportunities for students (Smith and Wingate,2016). However, professional development is not enough if it does not also help students affordto stay in college. Kruse et al.

Career-related functions could includesponsorship, supporting visibility, providing ideas, feedback and suggestions, and protectionagainst risks [4].

Thus, teams must document their design process tocreate a compelling set of evidence to support their design decisions and tell an impactful designnarrative.Community stakeholder participation is crucial for a successful design project.
