The concept of funds of knowledge emerged from the work ofVelez-Ibañez and Greenberg [4] who described the strategic and cultural resources and skillsutilized by Mexican American families in the U.S. Southwest. They described how these“specific strategic bodies of information” [4, p. 314], were utilized to ensure and maintain thewell-being of their families. For instance, they described families and their knowledge of folkmedicine to provide medical care for their families due to the lack of doctors and thediscrimination faced by Mexican Americans in rural areas in the Southwest.

Yet within engineering programs, students often have few opportunities to developexpertise in data science or even to explore how data science is relevant to their degreespecializations. This paper reports on an NSF-funded study of a program that prepares STEMstudents to engage with data science in coursework and then mentors them as they secureinternships and complete a capstone that demonstrates their application of data science expertise.Drawing on a mixed-methods study, including student reflections, capstone project assessment,and survey reporting, this paper suggests not only that students make deep connections betweentheir existing majors and data science but also that students trained in our

does engineering? Who is engineering done for? Asengineering is increasingly associated with cutting edge technology and innovative advances incomplex and/or large scale systems, these are questions that merit reflection. These trends tend todisproportionately benefit those in wealthy sectors of society. Simultaneously, those with theleast economic wealth are often negatively impacted. But, engineering doesn’t have to continuealong this path. It is instructive to reflect on the fact that engineering encompasses technologiesand designs that have served much of the human population for ages.

The decision to compartmentalize LGBTQ identitieswithin STEM environments reflects social identity threat posed by a lack of self-concept and/orsocial fit. Given what prior research has indicated about the LGBTQ climate in STEM, then,these environments would be expected to pose more social identity threat than many

Using this method,for the difficult dimension, the model learns to identify words that are more correlated withhigher difficulty ratings but not correlated with quality ratings.From these word lists, two of the authors manually annotated the words that were valid membersof the different dimensions based on fixed criteria. For example, the word “helping” would countas helpful but not clear because helpful words should reflect positive social behavior while clearwords indicate effective communication. Next, we adapt these lists to the original CCE dataset bycomputing the nearest neighbors to the words in each dimension, using word embeddings trainedon the CCE text data [22]. Computing

This discrepancy in representation reflects larger issues ofmarginalization in STEM fields and higher education at large. Current support structures fordisabled people remain ineffective, as accessing necessary resources requires navigatingphysical, cultural, and bureaucratic barriers (Groen-McCall et al., 2018). These barriers onlycontinue to widen for disabled students planning to pursue engineering careers (Prema & Dhand,2019), as seen in the high unemployment rate for disabled scientists and engineers, which isgreater than that of the entire U.S. labor force (Lee, 2010; NSF, 2017).
