Participant 65 mentions his experiences with HC. He notes that in his senior design class,the “…instructor specified that the senior project leaders could not be White males. . .which wasprobably the biggest show of racism I have seen on campus.” Additionally, the participantdescribes that his “biggest personal obstacle has been being a father during undergraduate andgraduate work,” and “it can sometimes be frustrating

The purpose ofthis study was to examine the experiences of Black immigrant students in graduate-levelengineering in the U.S. The following research question guided this exploration: What do thestories of Black Immigrant graduate students reveal about how they their racial and ethnicidentities are experienced in their engineering pursuits?THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK A Black immigrant, for this study, was defined as an individual who spent most of theirformative years/childhood education in a predominantly Black country (Nigeria, etc.).

-traditional students, adeeper examination of this group within graduate education research becomes critical, especiallyconsidering that only a few studies concentrate on their motivations and experiences. The resultsof these examinations can support graduate programs to make further changes to the design anddelivery of their doctoral curriculums by accounting for the unheard voices of these non-traditional students and raising awareness of their lived experiences throughout their program. In this paper, we describe the preliminary results of a collaborative autoethnographicexploration of the professional and educational experiences of two professional non-traditionaldoctoral students in engineering and computing education.

To develop this version, the program engaged UMDundergraduate students, K-12 teachers and students in 2021 to collaboratively designand test a new kit through a multi-major service learning course. The new kit,including materials and curriculum, was produced at scale by undergraduates in anEntrepreneurial Design Realization Course. The new PropCart design featuresexploration
