Initial data show that the blockmodel increased program success by student success rates improving with more students earninga C or higher, and failure rates lowering compared to traditional delivery model. Student focusgroups and faculty reflections offered positive feedback along with opportunities forimprovement.IntroductionYork University is the third-largest university in Canada, located in suburban Toronto with alarge commuter student population.

Second, was the firstauthor’s ongoing reflection and further discussion of his experiences during the analysis process (i.e.,member checking and structured reflection).Facilitated autoethnographyAutoethnographic methods, generally, focus on analyzing a researcher’s own stories of their personalexperiences [22]. Analyzing such experiences aids understanding of and connection to the broader world(e.g., cultural, social) in which those stories exist. Doing so enables researchers to critically examine thedominant narratives and themes in which those experiences otherwise exist without question or analysis[15]. Autoethnographic research is useful

This study uncovershow undergraduate engineering students, predominantly of Latinx backgrounds, reflect upon thestatement “I see myself as an engineer” and the justification they provide to explain their timeperspective. Specifically, this study will focus on answering the following research question: Inwhat ways are students reflecting on the question “Do you see yourself as an engineer?” and why?Theoretical FrameworkEngineering Role IdentityOur conceptual understanding of engineering identity begins with the theory of role identity.

Furthermore, if students perceivea peer review tool as non-representative and inadequate in its ability to match their perceptionsof internal team dynamics, then those perceptions can impact student value assessments of thecapstone experience as a whole. A sense of “grade injustice” in the presence of social loafing,poor quality work, or communication/interpersonal deficiencies can be demotivating forotherwise high performing students if they reject the adequacy of the mechanisms implementedto catch, correct, and resolve these behaviors [14

The CAE approach adopts a collaborative stance towardcritical self-reflection and can manifest in diverse forms, such as gathering personal memory data(e.g., through journaling), conducting mutual interviews, fostering deliberate dialogue, orobserving one another (e.g., in educational settings). It's important to note that CAE doesn'tunfold in a linear fashion; rather, it necessitates an ongoing dialogue involving conversations,negotiations, or even disagreements among team members over an extended period, spanningmonths if not years. Leveraging our distinct positionalities and years of collective experience,our discussions were fruitful, allowing us to scrutinize how Whiteness

Due to this inequity, educators need to create inclusiveenvironments that value and empower all students and reflect engineering design’s collaborativeand multidisciplinary nature. Inclusive Design (ID) values solutions that are accessible and user-friendly to individuals of all abilities, backgrounds, and identities, which aligns with engineeringeducation goals.
