To add to this gap in literature, this paper analyzes quantitative responses of genderand sexual minority students’ perceptions of the engineering curricula from the survey conductedin 2018.Relevant LiteratureThe predominant normative marker of science and scientists in the U.S. has historically andcontinues to be based on White cisgender male perspectives [1]–[7]. Not surprisingly, thishomogenous and heterogenous perspective leads to pedagogical practices in which minoritizedstudents underperform compared to when innovative pedagogical models are used, such asflipped classrooms [8], [9]. This long-standing conceptualization of science and scientists alsoresults in an engineering curriculum that deems “issues of communication, justice

The paper also stateshow this could be modified for any undergraduate program. IntroductionEngineers play an essential and unique position in the society as their influence over resources willhave long-term consequences on the communities they service. They are uniquely placed toaddress systemic obstacles, but to do so, they need to have a nuanced grasp of social aspects. Toaccomplish this, engineering education must include topics that investigate equality, diversity, andinclusion. (EDI). Students will be able to gain a grasp of how their

to develop an inclusive curriculum and classroom. The students of color in these classrooms also tend to do better academically in the field, in comparison to their peers who do not have such an opportunity to learn in this manner. Thus, it is imperative to examine how professional development experiences can be transformative learning experiences for STEM faculty, and what viewpoints, if any, these faculty bring into their learning of topics related to access, diversity, equity, and inclusion for students of color. With the goal of further uncovering the ways in which inclusive teaching and learning practices can become an integral part of STEM classrooms, this paper presentation provides a framework for

economic structures. “Anti-toxics activists, through the process of local fights against polluting facilities, came to understand discrete toxic assaults as part of an economic structure in which, as part of the ‘natural’ functioning of the economy, certain communities would be polluted.” (Cole and Foster, 2000 p. 23).In the 1980s, civil rights leaders worked with the anti-toxics movement to conduct economicanalyses through their understanding of structures. In turn, anti-toxics leaders brought in the civilrights activists’ racial critiques (Cole and Foster, 2000). Together, these integrations ofknowledge and methods grew the environmental justice movement.Traditional Environmental MovementThe initiatives and efforts of

In addition to framing student underperformance as an individual or familial problem, deficit perspectives obscure how educators and systemic oppression undermine the success of minoritized student populations.

In the framework presented, this is addressed by using assignments that allow students to demonstrate a basic understanding of societal rights in terms of what is available in the built environment, to identify inequities in infrastructure, and how they are propagated. ● Application – students use the foundational knowledge acquired in the initial lessons of a course, or over the curriculum, to start designing solutions to address existing problems in infrastructure.
