Abstract Your Voice is Power is a curriculum that seeks to promote racial equity and increaseinterest in computing careers by integrating elements of computing, music, social justice, self-expression, and entrepreneurship. The curriculum consists of five modules lasting 60-90 minuteseach. Students engage with music through lyrical analysis to extract and explore present themesof social justice using the OUTKAST Imagination framework. Students then engage withmusical concepts from a computing perspective to create their own remixes using EarSketch, aweb-based, learn-to-code through music platform developed at Georgia Institute of Technology(Georgia Tech). These elements are further supported by discussions around racial justice andthe
activism can positively impact underrepresented minority students'mental health by fostering a sense of community and boosting self-esteem (Anyiwo, 2020;Hickson et al., 2021; Gin et al., 2019; Reid, 2018). Likewise, recent research suggests that racialactivism plays a central role in shaping career interests among URM STEM doctoral students; inparticular, racial activism was found to drive interest toward entrepreneurship and academia(Monroe-White & McGee, 2023; McGee et al., in press). This is an interesting finding consideringthat the majority of engineering doctoral students pursue careers outside of academia (Choe &Borrego, 2020; Hocker et al., 2019; Jaeger et al., 2013), and the field of entrepreneurship, includingpatent ownership and

This is followed by social justice case studies on the impact of technology on societyin upper-level classes. The case studies connect justice to technical content
public. As Associate Professor her mantra has been to connect education to profes- sional practice inside and outside the classroom as demonstrated by the local and state awards she has won: 2014 UTEP’s CETaL Giraffe Award (for sticking her neck out); 2014 College of Engineering In- struction Award; 2014 The University of Texas System Regents’ Outstanding Teaching Award; the 2012 NCEES Award for students’ design of a Fire Station. In her work, Dr. Santiago helps to find innova- tive engineering solutions through an understanding of the balance between sustainability, social equity, entrepreneurship, community engagement, innovation, and leadership to improve the well-being of peo- ple. A few examples include
transferable skills that willenable engineers to work with others in teams to address societal issues. An example is theKEEN organization [11] that emphasizes entrepreneurship to prepare engineers for a neoliberalcapitalist society where the founding belief is that we will continue to technically innovate ourway out of dilemmas. These perspectives assume the purpose of education is to prepare astudent to contribute to society through their career and societal and justice issues are bestaddressed by creating a technological “rising tide that lifts all boats”. While less common inengineering education, other belief systems emphasize the role of education in addressingsocietal issues and promoting social justice [12], and emphasizing individual moral

research and teaching within university settings. However, the workforce needs of aglobalized economy and students empowered by their agency to venture outside the traditionalacademic sphere into industry, entrepreneurship, consulting, and pre-college leadership, forexample, have led to the emergence of varied and non-traditional career paths. These pathschallenge the conventional norms and expectations of what it means to be an engineeringeducator.Despite the gradual recognition and tokenized celebration of these diverse career paths, asignificant gap exists in understanding the experiences of those pursuing them. The narratives ofPh.D. graduates in Engineering Education who choose non-academic careers are oftenovershadowed by the predominant

Business cases, a cornerstone of business schoolcurricula, describe such restructuring in great detail, i.e., how entire global operations aredeconstructed and put back together again in new ways, in response to Chapter 11 bankruptcyfilings, board and stakeholder pressure, market volatility and demands for change, and so on.These restructurings can have a direct impact on reporting lines and supervisory roles (e.g., [10]),although there seem to be few studies of individual workers going through a corporaterestructuring other than analysis of lay-offs (which are highly gendered, racialized, and classed,[11]).3 Heidari-Robinson and Heywood [13] outline multiple ways in
