Overall, these findings add tothe growing conversation inclusive classroom environments, that make more explicit connectionbetween youths’ out of school knowledge and practices in school settings.Works Cited[1] S.

The repeated visits also allow the EOW and high school to have the correct equipment to teach theteam members to develop a rapport with the students five main engineering disciplines. Other concerns includethat they are working with to enable them to provide the lack of interest the students may have, the knowledge thementorship and guidance in advising the children on a teachers have for the subject and the lesson/laboratory spacepath to a successful career within the STEM

Based on these results, we have developed four recommendations for supporting engineeringstudents with disabilities: (1) Targeting specific outreach efforts to engineering students with disabilitiesat the college level to address the unique needs of these students and create a culture of accessibility, (2)implementing principles of universal design in engineering classroom, laboratory, and other makerspaces, (3) increasing awareness of resource availability for engineering students, staff, and faculty so thatstudents may have greater access to these services; and (4) developing targeted support structures forengineering students

The five Latina participants named their families andcampus organizations focused on women in engineering as important sources of support as theypursued their education. Further, this study found that Latinas in engineering encounter tensionbetween their engineering identities and other identities such as their gender and racial/ethnicidentities. By understanding the process of professional identity development and its interactionswith other personal identities, researchers, practitioners, and administrators may develop supportmechanisms that provide a holistic approach to supporting the present and future success ofLatina engineering students.LATINAS
