equity-orientedengineering education has been through the creation of DEI-focused CoPs (Castillo-Montoya,Bolitzer. & Sotto-Santiago, 2023; Sanford, Paige, Parker, & Valdes Vasquez, 2023). CoPs, in thespirit of Lave’s theoretical design (1991), bring like-minded faculty together around a centralgoal or problem to address (Wenger-Trayner, E., & Wenger-Trayner, B., 2015). Throughcollectively identified norms and distributed leadership, members of these CoPs work together tolearn and to grow as equity-oriented engineering educators. Central to the success of these effortsare routine gatherings, focused dialogue, deliberate action in the classroom, subsequentreflection, and consideration for future practice. CoPs readily support the
