project incorporatingcentering Indigenous ways of knowing and being within an engineering education context. Cal PolyHumboldt’s new master’s program in Engineering & Community Practice is among the first of its kind inthe United States as an Indigenous-centered graduate engineering program. This program is a one-year,project-based degree where STEM students will work through the relationship-building process with anIndigenous Nation to develop and complete an engineering project. As such, the potential impact of theprogram could be significant as we start to engage with the decolonization process as a field. Thisresearch attempts to capture and communicate that impact in a way that centers Indigenous ways of beingand storytelling. This will

Furthermore, people learn concepts and skills better when sharing in teams thanworking in isolation. Thus, most of newer educational approaches emphasize activelearning by students, in which instructors move from being lecturers to coaches.

increasing the number of underrepresented engineering students is the lackof a sense of belonging those students may feel while enrolled as a student. Previous researchshows that a lack of strong sense of belonging in higher education is a common reason for theearly withdrawal of ethnic minority students [8]. In fact, students who find few peers in theirclass—often underrepresented ethnic groups and women—“tend to feel much more strongly thatthey don’t belong” [9] so a lack of community can deter underrepresented students frompursuing engineering in the first place.The CAR Strategy is one pedagogy that intends to contribute to eradicating underrepresentationof racial/ethnic minorities in engineering.
