This simple activity brings light tohow normalized power relations in technology cultures might be further problematized in theengineering classroom, and begs further exploration into how such ideas might travel fromfeminist hacker collectives and OSH groups to the classroom setting.Another shared and informative dynamic is that of collaboration and community-building. Forthe engineering education researchers, the ability to push research forward and continue workingin liminal spaces was often contingent on finding supportive networks, organizations, andcolleagues.

It involved a groundedtheoretical [7, 8] analysis of transcripts from focus groups with 45 engineers employed by fourengineering-intensive organizations. This qualitative phase led us to construct threeprofessionally relevant leadership orientations for engineers—technical mastery (the “go to”engineer for technical questions), collaborative optimization (engineers who build highperforming teams), and organizational innovation (engineers whose creative ideas drive thecompany) [9, 10].
