-universal-design-instruction.6 According to Sasha Costanza-Chock, author of Design Justice: Building the Worlds We Need,an open access book published by the MIT Press, “Design justice” is “an approach to design thatis led by marginalized communities and that aims explicitly to challenge, rather than reproduce,structural inequalities. It has emerged from a growing community of designers in various fieldsapproach disability by looking for ways to change systems, instruction, spaces, materials, tools,knowledge assessment, and resources to maximize accessibility for all members of an academiccommunity.Challenges for disabled students in STEMDisabled people face a broad range of barriers and challenges to participating in academia, suchas bias, non

Inclusive teaching strategies can promote gender equity through thoughtfulselection of course materials, cross-cultural communication, using teaching methods that includestudents of diverse learning styles, encouraging student confidence, interaction, and classparticipation, and using assessment and evaluation methods that provide meaningful data on eachstudent’s experiences and knowledge gained within the class. Lastly, intervention programs arespecialized programs to help students from underrepresented groups succeed in STEM.

be difficult to prove, we assert that the majority of feminism’spresence in Engineering Education is not well-aligned with intersectional feminism or Blackfeminism. This notion is supported by the finding that of papers in the American Society forEngineering Education’s (ASEE) repository between 2011 and 2020 that mention the work“intersectionality”, only four of the Black feminist theorists foundational to the establishment ofthe term are mentioned [19]. Moreover, in an analysis of papers in three major EngineeringEducation journals across 14 years, Beddoes and Borrego [12] identified eighty-eight articlesthat mention feminist theory and assessed the articles within five branches of feminist theory.The authors found that a majority fell

Also, job crafting theory hasbeen used to study the roles and responsibilities of early-career scholars in engineering education[7]. Studies within the field of organizational behavior have shown self-efficacy to be positivelycorrelated with job crafting tendencies [13], [14]. III. Methodology A.

While many education models have emphasized a 'majority-fits-all'approach, evidenced by rewarding scalable instruction and assessment practices, we, as authorsand co-designers of this project, strive to center our minoritized students' varied experiences inbasing our curricular decisions. We also note that even though we only were made aware of theone student voicing these feelings of tokenization, there are likely other students who feltsimilarly and were not able to bring these experiences to our attention.Unfortunately

Thus, educators of autistic individuals, including in-school teachers, parents and out-of-school facilitators, can remind them to frequently test theirprototypes as they design it. We also observed that autistic children in our study were able to testtheir prototype in their minds, possibly given their strong visuo-spatial reasoning abilities [45].Educators should look for non-verbal clues and gestures when assessing students’ engagement insolution optimization.Unpacking design experiences of autistic children can benefit both autistics and their peers. Bylearning more about ways they engage in design, educators can provide more effective supportand learning opportunities aligned with their needs
retention andsuccess within engineering, and normalizing difficulty in this situation helped John persevere[41]. John also exhibited agency over his situation, choosing to take an elective class he knew hewould enjoy instead of attempting to “catch up” by enrolling in more engineering classes. One ofthe reasons John chose to enroll in an art elective was his ability to engage in a creative outletmore frequently. John is often not able to express himself this way in his engineering courses. Asan individual with ADHD, the structure of traditional engineering classes could make it difficultfor him to utilize his strengths [45].
