a co-author on this paperand collaborator during the development of this toolkit to ensure that our recommendationsacknowledge, encompass, and address the experiences that she and other minoritized groupshave had during their engineering education. The toolkit is in its nascent stages, but we aim touse this WIP as an opportunity to amplify a student’s voice and foster discussions aroundinclusive pedagogy within engineering education. Our work is driven by the research question,“what happens when institutional recommendations, established best practices, and theperspectives of a student come together?”Literature ReviewCommon instructional practices within engineering education, and the lack thereof, represent abarrier to broadening
and uncomfortable material cultures that keep thosealready on the margins outside of the technological landscape. This simple activity brings light tohow normalized power relations in technology cultures might be further problematized in theengineering classroom, and begs further exploration into how such ideas might travel fromfeminist hacker collectives and OSH groups to the classroom setting.Another shared and informative dynamic is that of collaboration and community-building. Forthe engineering education researchers, the ability to push research forward and continue workingin liminal spaces was often contingent on finding supportive networks, organizations, andcolleagues. This reflects similar organizing strategies identified by feminist
