IntroductionThe discrepancy between the number of Black students who complete a college degree comparedto their white peers has been of national concern for many years [1], [2]. In engineering, thisproblem persists and has been exacerbated in the last decade by stagnant growth in awardeddegrees for Black students [2], [3].

This is a complex question, and a simple two-dimensional slider ranging from“very easily” to “never” is insufficient to capture an important aspect of this issue. A student maychoose to act in a given way easily even though they consider the action to be dishonest, or theymay simply not consider the action dishonest. In addition to the
