AbstractStructures of racism, colonization, and white supremacy have traditionally excluded minoritizedpopulations, namely Black, Latin, and Indigenous (BLI) communities, from participation andsuccess in engineering. For example, the inequity in the P-12 experience, resources, and trainingis well documented. As a result, underserved BLI students experience disadvantage uponentering engineering spaces compared to their white counterparts. This setback and subsequentexpectation to perform at a level that requires previous knowledge not yet obtained createenvironments of undue stress for BLI students in addition to the stressors of engineeringeducation inherent in the curriculum. The repression and neglect of marginalized identitieswithin engineering learning
