used in health care. Exposing engineeringundergraduate students to health care disparities through courses and other learning activities willraise the awareness of this future workforce and potentially lead to more innovative technologicalsolutions that reduce these disparities [9].The task force recommends the following topics related to the existence and prevalence ofdisparities be included in any curricula: a) US racial and ethnic demographic factors that impacthealth care; b) the magnitude of key health disparities in common disease categories; c) the historyof segregation in US health care; d) the differences in access to care for different demographicgroups; e) the disparities that exist amongst demographic groups to effective treatment
challenges through sustainable and ethicalpractices. The framework encourages the integration of multidisciplinaryapproaches to engineering education, promoting a balance between technicalproficiency and a deep commitment to societal and environmental well-being [7].The relevance of the EOP framework to social responsibility and climate justicelies in its commitment to fostering engineers who can engage critically with theintersection of technological advancements, environmental sustainability, and theneeds of marginalized communities. By doing so, it provides a pathway foraddressing pressing global issues such as climate change, inequitable resourcedistribution, and the disproportionate impacts of environmental crises onvulnerable populations [8].B

If I show up and I actas my authentic self, which is sort of a little bold and assertive, I don't get to be called a bold,assertive leader. I get to be called other words that start with B. There's this complicated thingthat both women and women of color face – it’s a bind in the way we're perceived and thestereotypes that get assigned to us. I may be excellent, and I may have earned all the credentialsto get to that position, but my credibility and my likeability will be questioned over and over.As a takeaway and as something I would
andexplore additional themes that emerge. While 40% of the GEAR-SR cohort participated ininterviews, additional interviews may be conducted to ensure a broader representation ofparticipant backgrounds and experiences. Investigating the specific elements of the GEARprogram that most significantly contribute to student outcomes will inform programenhancements and exploring the differential impacts of the GEAR program on students fromdiverse backgrounds, including those traditionally marginalized in engineering, could providevaluable insights.References[1] Alvarado, C., Villazon, S., & Tamer, B.

goals in creating this cogen were very similar to those of a typical cogenpractice, however. Namely, our goals were to (a) embody anti-racist, feminist pedagogy in anengineering course (b) democratize class control and increase student agency over their learning(c) center the experiences of students who experience racial injustice, (d) empower students to leadclassroom conversations and direct course development. Additionally, it was important for us to(e) call attention to an important 21st-century social justice issue, (f) enable students to “plug in”to ongoing environmental movements at the university and nearby local communities, and (g)engage students in intimate, personal discussions during the era of online instruction, modeling an

educational system [2].In higher education, academic grade (GPA), retention, and persistence are traditionalmeasurements for evaluating students’ academic success [4]. These standardized test scores areestablished in traditional college-age students, which could form deficit lenses without fullyunderstanding post-traditional students’ academic performance and experience. As post-traditional students have been a prominent subpopulation in higher education, scholars suggest amore inclusive and equitable approach to measuring students’ academic success [4].In this study, we define post-traditional students as those who are: “(a) Delaying collegeenrollment by one year or more; (b) attending college part-time (i.e., fewer than 12 credits persemester); (c

]. Landreman’s et al. [5] critical consciousness model in Figure 1 echoes Freire’s ideologiesbut moves from theory to action in two distinct phases. In phase one, four themes emerge inraising awareness critically: (a) “exposure to diversity”, (b) “critical incidents”, (c) “self-reflection”, and the (d) “aha moment” [5, p. 281]. Our exposure geographically or interactionswith people of diverse communities serves as the initial stage of raising awareness. Theconvergence of multifaceted dimensions of cultural identity prompts the realization of socialstratifications encircling race and gender, bias, and stereotypes [5].

were several considerations that deterred us from that decision.First, it was important that we considered for the BIPOCx contingent faculty the followingfactors were considered: (a) authenticity and trust-building; (b) protection of participants frompotential repercussions to their work and livelihood; and (c) sustainability and effectiveness ofgrassroot initiatives. For ‘a’, authenticity and trust-building, BIPOCx contingent faculty inengineering are highly marginalized and severely understudied and supported. Placing thesecontingent faculty in any position where inherent power differentials to senior-level facultyand/or administrators will compromise the goals and vision for the project.

Scholarships such as alumni scholarships anduniversity scholarships were also among the available financial support resources available to theparticipating engineering undergraduates.5. Limitations The primary limitations of this study pertain to the participant sample, potentially impactingthe generalizability of the findings. Firstly, the study utilized a convenience sample drawn fromthe undergraduate engineering student body at the USU College of Engineering. The utilization ofconvenience sampling may have led to several issues, including a) limitations in thegeneralizability of results to other contexts, and b) potential bias in results due to the
educators ourselves who have mentored students through the transition from school to work,we see the need to support this critical transition with ongoing student-faculty-practitionerconversations about organizational navigations.
