Professor Wilson and us, we were reading some like articles that people pulled last semester about like, initiatives [in engineering] education. And one of the things I was reading about was like, about indigenous professors in like Canada and part of their struggle for the faculty is that they um, the indigenous Professors often feel kind of like overburdened and that they're already working with like a lot of diversity initiatives."Insight 2: The faculty members of Team Y share power-with the undergraduate studentsby legitimizing their contributions.

research teams are often composed of members from different disciplines.This interdisciplinary structure can bring a wealth of knowledge and perspectives but can also leadto challenges that hinder effective collaboration due to epistemic differences. These differences ap-pear in the approaches, values, and points of view of individual researchers toward how knowledgeis generated, expressed, and applied. If these differences in thinking are not effectively addressedand negotiated, they can compromise the success of a research team and hinder positive changesin the field of engineering education. Understanding how research teams negotiate epistemic dif-ferences is critical for developing strategies to overcome barriers to collaboration, negotiation
