Consequently, thesocial interactions of professionals within and between teams constitute a large proportion ofengineering work by time and importance. As a result, teamwork is an essential competencyfor engineering graduates who will need to interact with professionals from varyingbackgrounds to bring engineering work to fruition(Murzi et al., 2020).Nonetheless, the experiences of Black male engineers in teams have been understudied (Cross& Paretti, 2020). As a result, there is a gap in the ways we understand the contributions ofBlack men to engineering teams, their positionality within engineering teams, and the obstaclesor opportunities they face when
