She is also the executive director of the Engineering Innovation in Health (EIH) program that partners teams of multidisciplinary undergraduate and graduate students with health professionals to develop technical solutions to pressing health challenges. Dr. Kang works closely with faculty from
assess which components of the workshop are effective and which canbenefit from revision. Our workshops, which started in 2020, were held over Zoom due toCOVID-19 related restrictions impacting in-person events. They stayed over Zoom during thenext two iterations to remain accessible to participants that were unable to engage in in-personevents. However, we feel that the workshops, as designed, would translate well to in-persondelivery. Here, we highlight the workshop construction and positive impact on the participants toencourage and enable other engineering departments to utilize our workshop as a starting pointfor their own.METHODSWorkshop participation was open to all department membersThe workshop was open to graduate students
faculty in engineering who were adjacent to this work and acknowledged atthe end of the paper. From the analysis, four themes were identified: (a) Counter-storytelling, (b)Structural Determinism (c) Language Origins, and (d) Community Cultural- Navigational,Aspirational, Social, and Familial Capital. Two emerging themes identified were Arrebatos andNepantla; and Hidden Curriculum. From the findings, a collective narrative was generated byweaving the stories and experiences of the authors. From the narrative, we conclude withrecommendations for future faculty development programs as they consider faculties’ non-Monolithic backgrounds, cultures, languages, and experiences in engineering education. It is thehope of this paper that more consciousness
