. Most importantly,even though we recognize that the final picture is important [8], the process of connecting thepieces is also valuable; the process of going through the curriculum is just as important as theoutcome of the curriculum for the learner, and this process is where the learning takes place[22].Even with localization, we continue to critically question our role as EE researchers in theU.S. and reflect on our complicity in reinforcing structures of marginalization in EE. Afundamental understanding within engineering is that a single problem can be approached inmany ways. From their first lessons, engineering students are taught that no idea is toooutlandish, impractical, or advanced—only that every idea should be

The Center will support existing and new efforts aligned with the College ofEngineering’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) strategic mission and share initiatives withleaders similarly committed to equity-centered engineering education. Currently, the TEE Centerhas three main objectives: (1) designing and validating an evidence-based framework forcreating an equity-centered engineering curriculum; (2) generating and evaluating a collection ofDEI

curriculum can bechallenging because of an already busy curriculum and a lack of pedagogical guidance forinstructors. Not addressing these challenges can thus hinder institutions’ ability to developsocially and environmentally responsible engineers. Due to technological and scientificdevelopments, the engineering curriculum is frequently expected to cover more and moretechnical content, which makes the incorporation of other aspects more challenging [10]. Ahorizontal integration of social and environmental justice is an effective approach to dealing withthis issue, and it simultaneously helps defuse faculty resistance to non-technical content[11,12,13].

Metaphors help us understand our world by givinga concrete foundation to abstract ideas. As metaphors offer an avenue to express or recognizeabstract ideas, our paper proposes metaphors as a linguistic approach to understandingepistemologies in engineering education research (EER). Metaphors are ubiquitous; we use them every day and everywhere, intentionally, or not.In research, we do not always clarify the metaphors we use, even when they are sprinkledliberally in our thinking and writing. Like light and shadows, every metaphor reveals andconceals different aspects of the idea it describes. Yet, we do not always consider

Our approach involved using first- and second-cycle methods to describebeliefs and organize them according to dominant themes. Preliminary findings indicate a diverserange of beliefs concerning inclusive teaching and suggest a shared sentiment among students andfaculty participants regarding the importance of fostering student-professor personal connections,using inclusive pedagogical methods, and ensuring that courses address issues of diversity, equity,and inclusion in engineering.

approaches theproblem from a broader perspective and proposes that the whole K-12 educational system “needsto be revolutionized” so that equal opportunities are given to all people, regardless of gender,race, ethnicity, etc. Minerick’s point is that we must get to the root of a culture problem andchange the narrative so that every child, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, etc. has theresources and opportunities to become an engineer. Pollock picks up on that point and describesher work as a DEI consultant performing root causes analysis. Their findings show that interest isnot a root cause of the lack of women and people of color in engineering in higher education.Pollock suggests looking at the root causes of each institution and addressing
