, and the research team developed andevaluated pedagogical techniques for integrating social media (what we used to call web 2.0)tools into engineering education. Inspired by the 2006/2007 rapid adoption of podcasting forentertainment, news, and other non-academic purposes, the HED2.0 program sought: (i) tointegrate various social media tools into the fabric of engineering undergraduate classrooms, (ii)to evaluate the program using mixed methods and targeting various specific outcomes, and (iii)to develop best practices for deployment of social media tools in support of student learning. TheHED2.0 program has focused on the use of blogs, video technologies (including podcasts), andstudent-generated content as powerful and productive pedagogical

eye towards ourselves, acknowledging our deficitmindsets as administrators and faculty and examining how these limiting assumptions becomeembedded into our programs meant to support our diverse students, has revealed areas to targetfor change and improvement. The deficit mindsets of administrators and faculty are also passedalong to many engineering students who then appropriate these assumptions and beliefs ontodiverse students.Educational researchers have examined the origins of deficit thinking in educational systems(Valencia, 1997), issued calls to action for teachers to challenge deficit-thinking models (Weiner,2006) and specifically investigated the impact of deficit thinking in higher education (McKay &Devlin, 2016; Smit, 2012).

[14], and CoTs provide an ideal organizational context for faculty toengage in critical reflections that support agentic perspective and action.Faculty exercise agency when they take specific action toward their personal or collective goalsfor systemic change [15], [14]. The exercise of agency refers both to agentic perspective, that is,reflections on how specific actions would impact goals related to engineering education change,and agentic action, which is taking steps toward the achievement of those goals [14]. Pastresearch has explored the connection of these components to show that agentic perspective has alarge impact on how individuals take agentic action [15].Building on these conceptualizations, we introduce Sewell’s [16] theory of
