Americanstudents have the opportunity to learn microfabrication methods first hand, or to gainhands-on experience actually fabricating microdevices. Thus while products such as cellphones, personal computers, and video games are ubiquitous in Latin America,experience with the micromanufacturing techniques used to produce these consumeritems is extremely rare. To our knowledge, only one university in Spanish-speakingSouth America has a cleanroom dedicated to education and research, the Universidad deLos Andes in Colombia [6, 7]. Certainly, when we began our project there was nouniversity-based microfabrication facility in Chile.For this reason, we decided to develop facilities in Chile to enable students there to learnbasic surface micromachining

, this paper explores the impacts that this disparity in prior experience andexpertise has on student outcomes. The existing literature related to this problem is extensive and multi-faceted. The title ofthe paper is itself jargon-rich. The ideas of privilege, diversity, identity, and success are eachinformed by a great deal of research with large bodies of literature coming from behavioralscience, sociology, pedagogy, and specifically engineering education. To understand the contextinto which the classroom activities and data collection occurred for the research reported herein,it is first necessary to pull apart the terminology embedded in the title, examining the intendedscope of the terms.Selected Literature Review“Success” is a
