pathwaysand make decisions about engineering positions. To this end, we investigate how minorityundergraduate engineering students conceptualize engineering career pathways based on anorganization’s website content. We, a team of minority undergraduate engineering students, led a qualitative analysis ofthe websites of two national labs: Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and Kansas CityNational Security Campus (KCNSC). The website content was analyzed by extracting excerptsthat matched keywords related to engineering careers. Each excerpt was annotated with ourimpression of the company as a potential employer. In collaboration with other researchers, acodebook was developed based on contemporary career frameworks and was used to

workshop was requested to consider their weekand to name a highlight, a low point and a growth that they could identify and share with thegroup. This facilitated an atmosphere of transparency and openness about the researchexperience specifically within the context of a global pandemic and its impact on everyone’slives. The program used this activity as a tool to check the temperature of each student and staffand follow up with individuals as was necessary. Over the span of the summer, each weekconcentrated on a distinct topic: wellness, time management, national research laboratories,alumni and faculty panels, STEM identity, mock presentations, and the final Virtual ResearchSymposium. The workshops were facilitated by staff, campus partners

].STEM academic positions often require substantial needs for laboratory space andinstrumentation, along with startup funding that often comes with timeline constraints, all ofwhich can pose particular challenges when disabilities are not considered in the design andimplementation of the workplaces. Furthermore, despite decades of research that has addressedincreasing diversity among STEM faculty, very little work has addressed accessibility and equityfor disabled faculty. Conference participation poses challenges for some faculty with disabilitiesranging from access to spaces, accessible technology, sign language interpreters, extra travelexpenses, and appropriate food [27]. Further, communication and networking with otherparticipants can be

making sure every student graduate and the course curriculum and all that stuff.Drawing from our findings, EIF are not just restricted to their primary duty of teaching, they arealso involved in multiple other roles across the leadership spectrum in engineering education.One of the EIF that typifies this is Victor. Victor is the associate department chair; as such, heenumerates the number of leadership roles he takes on in his department. I'm the associate chair in the department, I am in charge of the undergraduate curriculum. I support several of the tasks such as scheduling, managing personnel, laboratories. Also, I am, in part of academics, I'm an ABET accredited program evaluator. So, during the last cycle, I
