The PD introduced both computational thinkingand programming basics through project-based learning and the use of App Inventor visualprogramming platform. PD activities stressed teaching practices that engage and challengestudents, in particular girls, underrepresented minorities in urban areas, and students inunderserved rural regions in the State.

Three of these signature practices are theAffinity Research Group (ARG) model, Peer-Led Team Learning (PLTL), and Fellow-Net.The ARG model [8, 9, 10] is a set of practices built on a cooperative team framework imbuedwith cooperative-learning principles, which have been shown to increase student achievementand self-esteem [11, 12, 13].

Although the number of women and minorities in the engineering and computer scienceprofessions has increased over the last 40 years [1], parity issues with regard to race, gender andability status still exist. Millions of dollars have been invested to make engineering more diverseand inclusive as the problem is complex. However, one aspect stems from a lack ofunderstanding of the experiences of people from underrepresented groups in engineering [2].Despite all of the investments, a significant amount of work remains to actualizing true culturesof inclusion in engineering.Acknowledgement that people from underrepresented groups

However, embeddedconcepts of race, class, and gender, have been undertheorized within engineering educationresearch and pedagogy, though such a theorization could greatly affect the work being done inthe field. This paper describes a course intended to help participants explore existing explicittheories of race, class, and gender, introduce participants to alternative social theories on theseconcepts in educational contexts, and help them learn to apply such theories to engineeringeducation research and engineering
