In other words, identity formation was situated in the students’interactions with SIRI - the bonds they established with each other, their instructors, andmentors, and how they ultimately engaged with the intentional design of the program or imposedSIRI community. We draw on the theoretical framework of culturally responsive teaching [16] to explorethe potential of SIRI as a context for science identity formation and learning for historicallyunderrepresented and minoritized groups pursuing STEM degrees in higher education settings.

Broadly speaking he is interested in modeling learning and reasoning processes. In particular, he is attracted to fine-grained analysis of video data both from a micro- genetic learning analysis methodology (drawing on knowledge in pieces) as well as interaction analysis methodology. He has been working on how learners’ emotions are coupled with their conceptual and epistemological reasoning. He is also interested in developing models of the dynamics of categorizations (ontological) underlying students’ reasoning in physics. Lately, he has been interested in engineering design thinking, how

Most engineers will recognize the double-edgedpotential for their profession to either promote or debase communal welfare. It is irrefutably insociety’s long-term interest that engineers act ethically; infusing formal ethics education(admittedly in conjunction with numerous other factors) into the curriculum is important fordeveloping engineers. One simply needs to read headlines in the news to see the impact of unethical behavior byengineers – illicit emissions controls, negligent pipeline maintenance, and improper municipalwater treatment are some of the more conspicuous
