In the context of engineering education, FoK highlights the ways in whichstudents’ cultural and community-based knowledge can inform problem-solving, creativity, andinnovation [18-20]. For example, a student from a farming community might draw on theirunderstanding of irrigation systems or sustainable practices when engaging in engineering designtasks [19]. Recognizing and integrating these funds of knowledge into the curriculum not onlyvalidates students’ identities but also broadens the scope of engineering education to includeother ways of being, knowing and doing.Bilingualism, as both a cognitive and sociocultural phenomenon, further enriches this frameworkby highlighting the unique skills

In addition to a non traditional math class, theprogram includes hands-on “Living-Lab” experiences, field trips and a community serviceproject led by professional engineers. The non-math aspects of the program were developed tostrengthen mathematical skills indirectly through engagement of the students in laboratory andreal world engineering problems, in the idea that solving skills are best nurtured through hands

Over the last 20 years, Tinto’s theories of integration and studentdeparture have been critically examined for its limitations in addressing departure ofunderrepresented student populations (Braxton & Lien, 2000; Hurtado & Carter, 1997; Tierney,1999). Scholars have proffered that Tinto’s theory does not consider the impact separation fromfamily and sociocultural communities have with students who come from collectivist orinterdependent cultural backgrounds (Tierney, 1999).

Although DSC-WAV promotescollaboration, it lacks a formalized instructional framework to teach collaboration skills explicitly.It relies more on the general experiential learning process to simulate a collaboration with thehope that students will learn how to collaborate by working with each other. However, this workmay not address specific collaborative challenges systematically. For example, while studentswork in teams, they may not receive direct instruction on how to apply and understand thestrengths and weaknesses of a team, effective communication techniques, or methods for buildinga shared understanding of a

Teamwork has increasingly gained the interest of educators as an effective pedagogical toolfor the preparation of students for the “real-world” (Gantasala, 2016). Collaborative assignmentsand projects, which invariably involve teamwork are considered high impact practices (HIPs) inhigher education (Adrade et al, 2020). High impact practices engage students in purposeful,interactive learning aimed at developing skills such as communication, problem solving,teamwork, critical thinking, quantitative reasoning, and information literacy (Kuh, 2008). Pastresearch shows that students who participate in HIP, including those who are historicallyunderserved by higher education, improve their performance, and have higher persistence andgraduation rates
