skewing interview data.Participants Twenty-five participants were selected who are currently-practicing or recently-practicing professional engineers in the United States. Twenty of the participants were men(80%), whereas five participants were women (20%), which is consistent with gender diversityin the engineering profession (Pew Research Center, 2021). The study included eighteen Whiteparticipants (72%), three Asian participants (12%), two Hispanic participants (8%), and twoBlack participants (8%), which is consistent with racial diversity in the engineering profession(Pew Research Center, 2021). The sample included age groups from participants in their 20’sthrough participants in their 80’s. However, the average age of participants was
the introductory course, inwhich the faculty member was energetic and showed interest in supporting student learning.Since that first course, Ernesto noted a change in faculty support–in fact, in CS1 Ernesto was toldto find help outside of class because the faculty member was not able to assist in his learningbeyond class time. Ernesto described finding friends as a source of support based on his experience in the S-STEM program–this sense of community flourished in his third year as a student at theuniversity. He considers his own introverted nature and his self-consciousness about his Englishas possible factors that impacted his sociability in the department early in his schooling. Ernestoviews the department as one that can, at

Unpacking the "invisible knapsacks" of advantages anddisadvantages in computing is an essential step toward dismantling oppressive practices andprogressing equity in the field.References[1] J.

We used this scale with the purpose of exploringstudents’ ethnic identity identification [36]. Because Latinx ethnic identity can be complex andvaried, we developed an initial question to allow the students to self-identify ethnically(Latin/Hispanic, Puerto Rican/Boricua, etc.), they then answered follow-up questions related tothat identity such as “I have a strong sense of belonging to other _____ people,” and “Mostpeople think that ______(s) are as smart as people of other groups.”Sense of Belongingness in Computer Science: Items were selected from the Sense of Social andAcademic Fit (in STEM) instrument [37
