toacknowledge the material realities (e.g., the intersections of the sociocultural landscape, historyand cultural and political past and present that create complex interactions and interpretations oflived realities) of students whose embodied knowledge may not align to the structural norms offormal schooling [12]. The assumption that engineering is only created through one kind ofknowledge impacts the “acceptance of difference” [13]. It is important that students, especiallyLatinx students, see themselves reflected in the curriculum and provide spaces to engage them inengineering activities in their own language, culture, and communities.This paper introduces a new paradigm by inverting the logic portrayed in many studiesinvolving research that

In combustion the very same process of raisingtemperature, and consequently Carnot efficiency, is responsible for the destruction of the workpotential (exergy) through the products attaining the adiabatic temperature. This even furtherdegrades the efficiency of combustion-based technologies. All that and other considerations limitthe electrical conversion efficiency to 20-30 % and 30-37 % for micro turbines and reciprocatingengines6, respectively. Beyond the scope of this paper, an extended comparison of exergydestruction in combustion and fuel cells is given by Chen11.
