Practitioners emphasized the importance of activelistening, effective communication, and openness to diverse perspectives, while educatorshighlighted the potential of community-engaged learning to enhance equity in transportationeducation. This study can help create a foundational framework for future researchers to exploredeeper questions about how equity is understood and taught. It also provides insights intocreating more inclusive educational strategies addressing diverse perspectives and learningneeds. 1.

minoritizedidentities from their engineering identities [1], identity scholarship has long established thatstudents’ experiences, activities, relationships, and environments outside the classroom cansignificantly influence how they engage with, interpret, and learn material in the classroom.One potential reason behind the limited diversification of the engineering workforce could be thetendency to acknowledge only the social and psychological effects of marginalization instead oflooking at cognitive effects on student learning, thereby only considering one aspect of thelearner. This paper considers the whole learner using a method known as “thinking with theory”[2] to theoretically examine the implications and impacts of navigating marginalized andminoritized

Efforts to develop formal pedagogical frameworks to identify specific roadblocks andaddress them are prevalent in engineering education research. Some strategies that have shownincreased performance in engineering students include cooperative learning, active learningclassrooms, flipped-courses, and interactive assignments [1]. Some of these strategies are easier toimplement in the context of engineering courses, while others require more intentional design toaccomplish the desired learning outcomes of a given course.Chemical
