In addition to lacking the first-hand perspective that benefits studentswhose parents went to college, these students are also often low-income and from an ethnicdemographic that is under-represented. Previous research has noted these differences betweenfirst-generation and low-income college students – specifically in Engineering [1].

Developing engineers for future work is socio-technical in nature; success in modernengineering projects requires more than technical capability, but also the ability to manage teams of people and lead them towards theaccomplishment of common goals.

, andknowledge generation.Epistemic differences can be difficult to study due to the tacit nature of people’s beliefs aboutknowledge, which results in individuals having a hard time articulating their true beliefs aboutknowledge. Additionally, the ways in which people enact their epistemic beliefs are dependent oncontext and situation [1, 2, 3]. So while an individual may report holding a specific epistemic beliefon a survey or in an interview, they may not always act in ways that reflect these beliefs. Giventhese complexities associated with studying epistemic matters, recent trends among researcherscall for the use of context and situation-specific approaches [4, 5].Ethnography offers research methods that allow researchers to deeply consider both
