exploration of the in/authentic experiences of Black engineering interns (Work in Progress)AbstractIn this paper, we discuss the preliminary results of a project that explored the effect of internshipexperiences on racial and engineering identity development for nine Black engineering students,four women and five men. Specifically, within this paper we highlight the narratives of threeparticipants and outline how their internship cultures affected the extent in which they couldauthentically be themselves in the workplace. This was done through an extension of Faulkner’sconcept of in/authenticity as a theoretical framework [1], [2]. To understand the experiences ofthe engineering students, our methodology followed steps

formally taught to engineering students since thelatter half of the last century, either as engineering design or a discipline-specific version of it,e.g., mechanical engineering design, chemical engineering design. The inclusion of design asa core graduate attribute in engineering accreditation requirements [6] and the prevalence ofdesign courses (cornerstone, capstone, industry-sponsored projects) in engineering curriculaworldwide is a testament to the importance afforded to it by engineering educators. This isnatural, as design has always been the distinguishing feature of engineering practice [7, 8].Then, why is there a need for these courses on DT? It should be noted here that the term “DesignThinking” will only refer to formalized DT

In addition,the decision-making process regarding degree objectives is extremely complicated andindividualized.To start this process, in this paper, we begin by investigating descriptive statistics. We exploreddata across meaningful groups of students, starting with the students’ “outcomes” at the end of theyear. For our analysis, we
Statistics [16] determined that in United States highereducation, there are over 1.5 million faculty. Of that number, 46% are part-time or contingentfaculty [17]. People of color and underrepresented ethnic groups make up only 10.4% of allfaculty appointments. Seventy-three percent of these 10.4% are contingent positions [18].Overall, 69.5% of teaching positions in higher education in the U.S. are contingent roles [14].More specific to STEM and engineering, 8.9% of full-time teaching faculty in United Statesengineering programs at 4-year colleges are contingent faculty [19]. Given these statistics, thefindings from both parts of the project have implications that far surpass Latiné/x/a/o contingentfaculty and can serve as a framework to address
