separable from the constellation of life-giving relationships constructed of nature. Confluently, theWestern Bourgeois construction of Man was redefined in purely secular, biological, liberal monohumanist terms that framed symbolic life as accumulated wealth and White physical traits contrasted withsymbolic death as poverty and Black physical traits [3,4]. It is this construction of Man that the increasedcapabilities of fossil fueled industrial capitalism have insatiably been leveraged by and for. Dominantengineering education exists as the normalized ‘technical’ education and manufactured ignorance thoseprofessionalized as engineers receive that is foundationally structured to maintain Man’s relationships ofdomination via Global Racial Empire [5
fundedResearch Experiences for Teachers (RET) programs since 2003 to support “authentic summerresearch experiences for K-14 educators to foster long-term collaborations between universities,community colleges, school districts, and industry partners [2].” Though long-standing andmeaningful in their impact, the RET program is limited in size because of the intense nature ofthe program from a facilities and personnel standpoint. The Next Generation Science Standards(NGSS), released in 2013, include some engineering practices across all grade levels. Thesestandards have been adopted in about half of the fifty states, with many other states creatingsimilar standards [3]. However, there is still a need to understand best practices in supportingstudent
patterns later in their careers [13]. Following career history interviews with28 senior engineers, they proposed five distinct engineering career paths: company men,technical specialists, boundary spanners, entrepreneurs, and invisible engineers [13].Engineering career paths are not only diverse but also differentiated with respect to status,legitimacy, and accessibility. Cardador and her colleagues have shown how career stratificationpushes women engineers towards under-resourced and less-respected career paths [7]. Similarly,in a follow up analysis of their earlier study, Rottmann et al. found that women and racializedengineers were penalized for excellence, often being tracked into middle management orentrepreneurial roles while white men in

The first part of the activity is a pre-lab activity in which students visualize and “design” their own electric grid for their own fictional island nation. This pre-lab activity can be done by students in the class session before the hands-on lab activity, but it could also be used independently if there is not time to complete the lab activity. In this first activity, students are introduced to the advantages and disadvantages of each generation technology, and they must use critical thinking

making such biases visible to all students. It also creates the conditionsto go beyond mere equal divisions of work to equitable divisions of work, such that students whohave been excluded from certain types of roles on teams (e.g. technical or leadership) are able togain experience in those roles. As such, new assets in these areas are developed, which can thenbe employed and further developed in future work. This offers the possibility of a real materialovercoming of the effects of bias and stereotyping, and can begin to challenge and short-circuittheir reproduction. 14ReferencesBaron, A.

Inquiry-based learning is defined as students taking amore active role in choosing a line of inquiry, implementing, analysing, concluding, andcommunicating. It is distinct from following prescribed instructions.Often interpreted as meaning scientific inquiry [4] as opposed to engineering inquiry, and usedacross schools [5, 6

adecline in interest in STEM starting at age 11 [2]. A look at gender differences found that middleschool girls are much less likely to report interest in a STEM career than boys [3]. To counteractthis decline in interest, researchers have found a link between consistent engagement in anafterschool STEM program with an improved interest in STEM [3] [4]. However, attendance inan out-of-school (OST) program is often sporadic [5], and the duration of programs varieswidely [6]. Further investigation is needed on the amount of exposure to OST STEM as apredictor of interest in STEM, with gender as a moderator. This study explores this relationshipby examining a middle school STEM afterschool program serving a traditionallyunderrepresented group, low
Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Exploring the nature of engineering during home-based engineering activities designed for Spanish- and English-speaking families with young children (Fundamental, Diversity)IntroductionIn recent years, there has been an increasing emphasis on exploring engineering with earlychildhood learners [1], [2]. The majority of these studies have focused on observing youngchildren playing with building materials [3], [4] or examining engineering in the preschoolclassroom[5]–[7]. However, few studies [8]–[10] have focused on exploring engineering in thehome setting, which is a powerful yet often overlooked learning environment for early STEMlearners.

Since energy systems can be rather complex, I looked forsoftware options for introducing the students to do a more comprehensive analysis. In this way,they could explore and synthesize the theoretical topics that were given as lectures in class. Thecourse lectures covered conventional energy systems, nuclear energy systems, renewable energysystems, and 21st century emerging energy systems.

In other words, we ask studentsto examine the social implications of engineered products and processes. We ask them to reflecton the ways engineering shapes social life, for better and for worse.
