present.The intersection of Camille’s identities within the context of engineering impacted thedevelopment of her engineering identity. When asked to picture an engineer and describe it, sheresponded with: “When I think of engineers, I usually think of a White male coming from a wealthy background. They had access to higher education in their life and considered themselves to be engineers early on. And for a woman in engineering, I usually think of a White woman as well.”This mental representation of what an engineer typically looks like, when added to Camille’spersonal experience, led her to not identify strongly as an engineer. She even makes mention ofhaving “imposter syndrome” during her undergraduate program and

What tensions exist within his EEE? Andhow do tensions in his EEE affect his use of engineering in instruction? After triangulatingEvan’s explicit beliefs about engineering with his instructional practices, team conversations, aninterview, and a member check, I assert that Evan’s engineering epistemology involves reliableand efficient product creation but does he does not think engineers focus on learning new contentknowledge as they create products. Evan’s education epistemology involves providingopportunities for student success and teaching them new content knowledge

culturally relevant STEM education?To address this question, I used systematic review procedures to obtain 20 relevant articles. Ianalyzed these articles to identify common themes the researchers used to integrate Indigenousknowledge into STEM education. All these themes begin to illustrate the significance thatIndigenous spirituality has in (re)connecting Indigenous knowledge with STEM education. Iargue that Indigenous spirituality should be used as a starting point and theorizing space to bringIndigenous peoples and knowledge back into the engineering field, as well as a place for otherminoritized people to (re)introduce their own types of knowledge.Literature (Re)memberingMy use of the term (re)membering is adapted from Dr. Jamaica
