employed a phenomenographic approach, interviewingparticipants at a single institution to understand the mentoring experiences African-Americanwomen have as engineering students. Importantly, phenomenography seeks to explore the rangeof experiences these participants have, allowing for diversity rather than attempting to produce asingle monolithic description of “the” mentoring experience of African-American women.Phenomenography offers a tool to systematically account for variation while simultaneouslyyielding meaningful categories of experience that can inform effective action. This paperpresents preliminary findings of this phenomenographic analysis.Literature ReviewBefore efforts can be made to improve the numerical representation of African

The information presented here focuses on the development, implementation, and resultinginterpretation of two surveys which provided insight into team inner workings. These surveys wereconstructed to provide a rapid mechanism that would allow the faculty to assess performanceamongst the members. Results from the surveys can be used as a feedback tool to correct a teamif negative interactions are occurring.

experiences for pre-college students. Furthermore, theexpanding agenda to enrich Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)education is often proposed as a solution to educational inequities (Bullock, 2017). While we areencouraged by efforts to strengthen the PCEE infrastructure we propose more robustconsiderations are necessary to examine how these investments of resources will not deepenongoing inequities, particularly as STEM courses suffer from an exclusionary culture (Carter etal., 2019; Nasir & Vakil, 2017). In this paper, we will explore critical consciousness as a conceptual framework that canassist pre-college engineering educators in advancing equitable PCEE.

For example, BOK Outcome 1 (an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering) is nominally identical to ABET Criterion 3(a); however, the text associated with BOK Outcome 1 also calls for coverage of mathematics through differential equations, probability and statistics, calculus-based physics, biology, chemistry, ecology, geology/geomorphology, engineering economics, mechanics, material properties, systems, geo-spatial representation, and information technology.

college. Ohland et al. [21] found that 57% of the studentswho matriculated into engineering majors persisted in engineering to the 8th semester, the highestof all major groups (e.g. 51% social sciences, 41% other science/technology/math). The reasonsthat students leave engineering have been widely studied; a recent review clustered these intofive factors [22]: classroom and academic climate; race and gender; grades and conceptualunderstanding; self-efficacy and self-confidence; interest and career goals. Few students transferinto engineering [21] and engineering admittance criteria are usually more stringent than othermajors [23]. Thus, students with an environmental interest able to be admitted to engineeringmay choose that route, with the idea

undergraduate education is largely focused on the transmission of theories, empirically derived facts, and the disciplinary frameworks and methods used to create and interpret empirically derived information. Unfortunately, examining the ways in which students can use the information and analytic processes about which they are learning to create meaningful individual lives and positive social structures has largely been excluded. Such characteristics as wisdom, compassion, and integrity, and such concepts as justice, ethics, values, morality, virtue and character are ones that most undergraduates fail to consider because the curriculum does not encourage them to do so. 3In science and engineering

of the baseline fora number of reasons including default masking of grades, inequitable access to technology,disruption of curriculum, and the inherent stress of an emergent pandemic.We analyzed the exam and BWA scores for two things: correlation between the two categoriesand whether the exams could be eliminated in favor of something like more frequent onlineassessments. To simulate “removing the exam component”, we set the percentage of the examscores on the final grade to zero and set the percentage of the BWA scores on the final grade toinclude the percentage of both the original BWA scores and the exam scores. The final studentgrades were then recalculated and analyzed for equity.Our preliminary analysis of the new assessment strategy
