First, I identify as a Black female engineer, educator, and administrator at aHispanic Serving Institution. Second, I am a first generation college student who playedcompetitive high-school sports and received merit-based and Division I athletic scholarships topursue higher education. Third, I have experience working as a tutor with Division Istudent-athletes.FindingsSome common themes from the interviews were around accessibility to STEM

The specific gravity tester has an internal memory that can bedownloaded. It also records the electrolyte temperature for each cell. The overall bank floatvoltage is measured with a multimeter. To measure the cell voltage, cell impedance, and strapresistance, a battery tester is used. The two main battery testers used by the utilities and serviceproviders in

events that occur in the creation or construction of internal mental modelsthat Piaget terms schemas. The process of assimilation involves relating new information to oldschemas, and the process of accommodation involves the creation of new schemas when neces-sary.One of the primary purposes of a teacher is to guide and direct learning, and to increase the rateat which students learn. Lev Vygotsky is credited with describing the role of support in learningthrough what is known as the zone of proximal development (see, e.g., [3, 4]). The idea is thatstudents can learn more when supported in learning, and when learning experiences are specif-ically designed to suit where particular students are in the learning process. This learning doesinvolve

Rather than an opaque cover which hides the internals, the PolyVent has a transparent cover which allows the interior to be viewed even before the cover is removed. The cover is a “cake dome” design that can be removed and the PolyVent can be operated in the classroom without the cover to allow about eight students to simultaneously view it as it operates. 4.

Such efforts foster awareness of societal power dynamics, inequalities, and oppressivestructures while encouraging critical analysis and action for social change. These approachesempower students to challenge dominant narratives, reflect on their roles in systems of privilegeor marginalization, and engage as agents of transformation. Engineering education presents unique challenges for fostering critical consciousness anddisrupting entrenched mindsets, largely due to the persistence of Technical/Social Dualism,which upholds a rigid separation between technical and social dimensions of engineering. As aresult, the field often resists the integration of

For example, the editor for the Journal of Women and Minorities in Science andEngineering, Julie Martin, wrote in an editorial about expectations for reviewers to be constructiverather than destructive (Martin, 2020). Martin provided explicit instructions for reviewers to considertheir own positionality, or their position in relation to the social and political context of the study – thecommunity, the organization, or the participant group (Hampton & Reeping, 2019). Positionalitystatements allow a reader to see “how the researchers viewed their own internal conversation withtheir identity and the identity of those being studied” (Hampton & Reeping, 2019, pp. 3–4).
