Students with ADHD or other neurodiversity such as autism, dyslexia, or obsessive-compulsive disorder are an invisible minority [2], and

Also, job crafting theory hasbeen used to study the roles and responsibilities of early-career scholars in engineering education[7].

Given the historical and persistent underrepresentation of minority groups in theengineering workforce, our work presents a timely effort to understand better and include thecareer attitudes of the emerging engineering workforce. We investigate how the concept of anengineering career is shaped for minority engineering students from a Hispanic-servinginstitution to further understanding on how career opportunities in government-funded labs areperceived by a group of Black and Latinx engineering student researchers experiencing the jobsearch and post-graduation planning process.

As part of thebroader reach of this project, we have established a rapport with those engaging in this workwith us through our participatory action design. Participatory research co-creates theknowledge and centers the perspective of the community under study with the overall effort tocreate actionable outcomes for the advancement of their community (Baum et al., 2006). Basedon our centering of the voices in this work, and our development of a community of solidarity,rather than participants, we refer to those who have engaged in this work with us as members.Five members (n

Although the courses are designed to replicate courses offered in thesemester (i.e., assign homework, group projects, and exams) the students do not receive creditfor the courses. Thereby, the SBP provides the space and time for students to grapple with thedifficulty of the academic subjects without penalty to their academic standing or grade pointaverages (GPAs). Throughout the program, students also participate in informational seminars presented byvarious offices on campus to understand the range of opportunities and

Participants We excluded anyone that identified HC as positive since the scope of our project was tosee how HC is negatively impacting FG students and their intersecting disenfranchised identities(self-identified women, Latino, and Black bodies). Asian identities were excluded from thisstudy since they are statistically overrepresented in science and engineering [22]. An initialround of coding the data revealed that out of n984, n341 answered the emotion question on thesurvey. Of the n341, n157 answered the survey question with either a negative emotion orlacking any memory of HC experiences. The demographics of the n157 participants is listed inthe chart below.
