Those who identified as men felt a slightly stronger sense of belonging intheir disciplinary track courses (which include environmental engineering, geophysics, andindependent interdisciplinary options) than did women. Those courses also include students fromthose programs. We are cautious in making greater extrapolations based on our preliminarysurvey data, given that more people identifying as women (14) than men (9) filled out the survey.Figure 4: Average belongingness scores by gender for (a) major and (b) classesAdditional results broken down by socioeconomic status and race and ethnicity are available inthe Appendix.IdentityThe interviews were evocative for tracking the evolution of

Her research interests include how to: (a) disrupt problematic cultural narratives in STEM (e.g. brilliance narratives, meritocracy, and individualistic competition); (b) cultivate equity-minded approaches in ed- ucational spheres, where educators take responsibility for racialized inequities in student success; and (c) cultivate more ethical future scientists and engineers by blending social, political and technological spheres.

complementthe development of critical consciousness, “where students (a) gain sociopolitical understanding,or engage in critical reflection, to (b) change the world, or take critical action” [8].An analytical review of CC literature by Jemal [9] observes divergence in the interpretation of“critical action,” with some scholars viewing the capacity, or the intention, to take action, assufficient, and also divergence in whether and how critical consciousness may be experienced bythe privileged as well as the oppressed. Jemal proposes the notion of “transformative potential”to clarify the construct of critical consciousness on both counts.Engineering identity and critical consciousnessWhile the engaged presence of diverse perspectives in engineering
for Master’s and upper-divisionundergraduate engineering students. The course had three learning goals: (1) teach students torecognize their public welfare responsibilities, (2) motivate students to act on public welfareissues, and (3) equip students with intervention strategies (e.g., understanding whistleblowingprotections, writing an op-ed) to confront issues they may encounter in their future professionalwork. In this paper, we provide a detailed description of the course and present data from pre-and post-class surveys and open-ended reflections to illustrate how the class produced notablechanges in students’ (a) recognition of their public welfare responsibilities, (b) motivation totake action, and (c) familiarity with intervention
