have on thelived experiences of scholars in the field (e.g., as it relates to their citation count, academicprestige, and career progression).The above discussion led to the hypothesis that the CS collaboration networks in the literaturewere overly representative of the collaboration networks of white and Asian scholars incomputing. By extension, reported network measures such as degree (or the average number ofunique coauthors) would not be reflective of the collaboration experiences of non-white andAsian computer scientists. Further, this work posited this difference would skew in favor ofwhite and Asian scholars. That is, if the “average” (e.g., race-neutral approach) computerscientist has x number of unique collaborators, then minoritized

Notably, asset-based practicescannot be disconnected from the realities and multiple worlds that BIPOCx people in engineeringface (Mejia et al., 2022). Thus, PD activities should provide room for deep reflection andpurposeful iteration and center the voices of those impacted.Comparative Critical Theories Derived from legal scholarship, critical theories offer an analytical lens to examine racialand ethnic inequalities experienced by BIPOCx individuals.

inclusion and equity are not. Some viewinclusion as a tool wielded by those in authority. Inclusion requires the group to include theindividual, rather than for the individual to take on that burden. An ideal DEI environmentencourages and hears authentic selves. People who want to improve DEI should engage inrepeated reflection to allow their ideas to evolve over time. Those at the top of the hierarchy,who are often not from minoritized groups, particularly need to reflect on their privileges andpositionalities in order to enact effective change [10].Engineers are still viewed by society as oblivious and antisocial, which lessens the appeal ofengineering to some. Others see engineering as heavily aligned with military and corporateinterests rather

The process for developing the survey items consisted ofquestions that sought to examine instructional and pedagogical strategies implemented to teachstudents rigorous engineering concepts based on students’ experiences in the course. As such, thequestions provided students the opportunity to delineate, reflect, and share valuable insight andexperiences that can help develop and refine effective and equitable engineering pedagogy.The data analysis consisted of an open

Figured Worlds serves as a powerful frame for ourwork because it captures the complex influence of socially- and culturally-produced systems(i.e., figured worlds) on one’s capacity (i.e., agency) to purposefully and reflectively act withinthem. The ways we choose to – or choose not to – represent ourselves as we navigate figuredworlds, and the feedback we receive while interacting with them, serve as indicators ofidentification with social groups and their privileges [13]. For a system to be considered afigured world, it must have four characteristics: (1) historically developed through the works ofparticipants; (2) include social encounters in which participant positions matter; (3) sociallyorganized and reproduced; and (4) relate individuals to

This concept helped me reflect on the ways my travels opened more complexstories about the places I traveled to. There were simple stories that influenced my ideas of theUnited States and Kenya before I traveled and experienced them personally. Now those storieshave been replaced by more holistic and complex stories through lived experience.When I started a Ph.D. in engineering and computing education in 2021, and started reading theliterature, I saw different stories being told about women in computing.

Oftentimes, multiplymarginalized students’ experiences are explored through identifying particular marginalizedidentities within study participants and applying theories of engineering education to theirexperiences. Other approaches situating certain standpoint theories emerge from single-identitytraditions that identify specific identities and deepen understandings of only those facets ofidentities relevant to those theories. While these approaches are often immensely helpful indeveloping new knowledge about the experiences of marginalized students, they often do notaccurately reflect the unique

By embedding interculturalcommunication notions into their course activities, they minimized the number of dysfunctionalteams compared to prior experiences and gained positive feedback from students.

areversed in this and many other tools that are far more advanced?Dr. Watford later comments on how curricular change does not need to happen all at once.Indeed, change an assignment, change a module, do this over time. She also reflects on howstudents do not do their homework. Why? Because faculty do not have the time to grade theassignments. She goes on to suggest the use of digital technologies to not only submit homework,but to grade it. She is certain that the practice of homework and feedback can only help. She alsogave the example of using data analytics to assess student performance. Again, use thetechnology!

In Canadian engineering education, Aikenhead et al.have explored the pragmatic implications of onboarding Indigenous topics through their conceptof “cross-cultural crossing” [4]. They argue that students' life-world subcultures aremultidimensional and may be different from the subculture of science, and so the curriculumdesign needs to account for such differences and crossings students need to make while learning.The work by Seniuk Cicek et al. has critically considered the role of Indigenizing the curriculumin the context of engineering education.

Only court orders, especially Brown v. Board of Education, finallyopened the door to integration. African American faculty did not exist on the campus prior to themid-to-late 1970s. And the institution struggled to hire and retain faculty into the 1990s. ETSU,by the end of the 20th century, increasingly reflected a world that was rapidly changing. Thoseadvancements began with racial diversity but increasingly included gender diversity, sexualdiversity, differing abilities, religious diversity, and ethnic diversity.

The positivism createdand perpetuated by this silo in engineering education ultimately positions rightness as a hidden,structural, exclusionary force rather than something constructed by the people in the room. Theauthors conclude that students are working at a boundary condition created over years ofseparation between the physical and social sciences and this itself is another barrier. Studentsstruggle with their engineering identity when centering public welfare or justifying nontechnicalwork after experiencing partial integration of social impacts in technical courses, and “[this] kindof negotiation [reflects] the tensions and unsettled boundaries between what students [consider]to be inside or outside the scope

The fear of not responding appropriately or discomfort that can arise from reflecting onone’s own role, as a member of the majority, in perpetuating oppression or challengingproblematic views espoused by colleagues should not deter men from engaging in gender equitywork.
