Paper ID #28376Intersection of Race and Gender of Leadership Formation of UndergraduateEngineering StudentsProf. Carmen M. Lilley, University of Illinois at Chicago Dr. Lilley’s research interests in engineering education focus on professional development of engineering students at the undergraduate and graduate level. In particular, she is interested in the nuances of how the intersection of race/ethnicity with gender affects professional development in the area of leadership and the long term career trajectory of an individual. Her other research interests are focused on syntheses of low dimensions materials and the
the experience of identitydevelopment” [15, p. 408].Critical race theory (CRT) recognizes the unique experiences of marginalized groups andstrives to identify the micro- and macro-institutional sources of discrimination and prejudice[16]. According to Delgado and Stefancic [16], CRT encompasses four main themes: (1) Racism is ordinary and not aberrational; it is an integral part of American society; (2) Race and racism are social constructions; (3) A “White-over-color ascendancy” serves important psychic and material purposes that reinforce racism; and (4) Storytelling and counterstorytelling are important mechanisms for challenging dominant “master narratives.”As Fernández [17] contends, storytelling within a CRT
, mechanical, and chemical engineering. On the first day ofcamp, we introduce the staff to the students requesting they briefly describe their disciplinaryexpertise. We believe by highlighting the disciplinary knowledge of the staff, students can askquestions to individuals with specific disciplinary knowledge to advance their design and askquestions about disciplines of interests.To support the camp initiatives, we provide the staff a series of training materials that includesreadings, reflections, and discussions with returning staff members. We divide the trainingmaterials into two categories: instructional and research support. The training materials designedto support instruction includes overviews of the engineering design process, strategies

For example, there were large disciplinary differences among thepercentage of faculty who integrated SJ issues into their courses, ranging from a high of 61% offaculty teaching HSS courses for engineering students down to 9% in mechanical engineeringand none of the faculty teaching aerospace engineering students [26]. While interesting, theseresults failed to provide information on the common ways that faculty integrated SJ issues intotheir teaching practices.Research QuestionsThe questions explored in this study are: How

Latinx engineering/CS students at the HSI: identity capital andcommunity cultural wealth (CCW). Both frameworks share similar conceptual underpinnings:the notion of capital taken from critical social theory, particularly from the work of Frenchsociologist and philosopher Pierre Bourdieu. Bourdieu highlights the role that capital plays inmaintaining and perpetuating the social order and hierarchies within that order. His workpinpoints three primary types of capital: economic, social, and cultural [5]. While economiccapital refers to tangible wealth (e.g. money, property), cultural capital has both material andsymbolic manifestations, including (but not limited to) formal education and its accompanying
