The goals of the larger study are to: (1) critically evaluate the research-to-practicecycle as it relates to broadening participation in engineering and computer science (CS)education and the workforce; and (2) set a national agenda for broadening the participation ofAfrican Americans in engineering and CS that is informed by existing literature and subjectmatter experts. In conducting this study, our goal is to understand and disseminate insightsabout the historical

Similarly, Ana, believed that her father played an important role in herengineering identity development: [C]ause he is a computer engineer, and he used to have a computer store. And, since we were little, we would go with him to his store, and help him out with trying to fix stuff, so he would try to like get us into kind of the engineering side of his job.

His research in- terests include innovative pedagogies in engineering design, conceptual change and development, school- to-work transitions for new engineers, and efforts for inclusion and diversity within engineering. His current work explores how students describe their own learning in engineering design and how that learn- ing supports transfer of learning from school into professional practice as well as exploring students’ conceptions of diversity and its importance within engineering fields.Dr
