because culture influences what constitutesintelligence and intelligent acts [9, 10]. Indeed, conceptions of “smartness” in school often caterto analytical abilities, while ignoring other types of intelligence, such as creative or practicalabilities [11]. This emphasis on analytical abilities is magnified even further in engineeringschool, where math and engineering science dominate the curriculum. This cultural norm ofvaluing analytical intelligence above all else reflects white, middle class constructions ofintelligence. This reality contributes to the exclusionary narratives about who belongs inengineering as the qualities that are revered in academia (e.g., brilliance, rigor, seriousness,rationality, objectivity, etc.) are all traditionally
–particularly Latinos/as/xs – have been perceived as disruptive elements of theAmericanization project [1]. Latinos/as/xs have been framed as individuals that are unable tosucceed in academic spaces because of inherent deficits and thus unable to accommodate tothe demands of American exceptionalism [2]. Engineering is no exception to this deficitframing of Latinos/as/xs. In fact, engineering has a long history of discrimination towardminoritized groups that is still present today in engineering programs [3]. For instance,Latino/a/x engineering students still contend with the enduring repercussions of deficitideologies, racialization, and a process of assimilation through subtractive schooling [4, 5].Engineering has, too, embraced an educational
