that we present in this paper. First, Students of Color scored higher thanWhite Students on a combined index of survey items measuring the six forms of cultural capital.Second, we discuss how Students of Color, who are more likely to be First-Generation students,use their cultural assets in unique ways. We discuss the important implications of these findingsfor developing and implementing engineering instructional practices and curricula.IntroductionThe National Science Foundation’s (NSF’s) biennial report on the representation of women,minorities, and persons with disabilities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) education and employment highlights the continuing progress made in diversifying theengineering workforce

In engineering programs specifically, service-learning has been pursued in many different ways; many of these are described in a paper fromMichigan Technological University [3]. This paper has looked closely at learning throughservice versus service learning, along with both courses and extracurricular programs such asEngineers without Borders. All the aforementioned programs provide students with learning andservice experiences in different ways.
