Millions of dollars have been invested to make engineering more diverseand inclusive as the problem is complex. However, one aspect stems from a lack ofunderstanding of the experiences of people from underrepresented groups in engineering [2].Despite all of the investments, a significant amount of work remains to actualizing true culturesof inclusion in engineering.Acknowledgement that people from underrepresented groups

However, embeddedconcepts of race, class, and gender, have been undertheorized within engineering educationresearch and pedagogy, though such a theorization could greatly affect the work being done inthe field. This paper describes a course intended to help participants explore existing explicittheories of race, class, and gender, introduce participants to alternative social theories on theseconcepts in educational contexts, and help them learn to apply such theories to engineeringeducation research and engineering
