Inparallel with the original CCS [19], the CCS-S measures critical reflection’s two sub-components: (1) perceived inequality and (2) egalitarianism. In addition to the CCS-S items, weadministered eight additional items related to critical reflection, motivation, and action orientedtoward inequities in infrastructure and civil engineering. Data for each dimension of criticalconsciousness was analyzed separately, in accord with original scale design features [18], [19

They also need to recognize that the technical jargon that poses an extralayer of difficulty for linguistically and culturally diverse student populations can be systematicallytaught. Also, and certainly not least of all, teachers need to recognize that informal and out-of-school STEM learning spaces can circumvent the challenges of restrictive school policies and thedemand for more time with students and opportunities to pool from existing funds of knowledgewhile involving parents and assimilating into the society. 10 References[1] L.

In addition to racial/ethnicminority groups historically underrepresented in STEM more broadly, students who are from rural areas,who are the first generation to attend college, who are not able bodied, and those who lack financialresources are often not adequately prepared in their K-12 education, and often do not meet the minimumstandardized test scores to be admitted into engineering programs, particularly at land grant universities.

The goal of the N S F - f u n d e d project was to increase the number ofhighly qualified and prepared engineering students, particularly African American engineers, aswell as to ensure electrical engineering students and graduates have a better understanding oftechnology and its role in STEM education and the policy associated with it.
