In today’s circumstances, it would more often than not be a disservice to ourundergraduate students to demand they write machine code to access registers, learn to designwith tube amplifiers, wind all their own inductors, or reinvent the wheel for common operationsin scikit-learn, pandas, or OpenCV. All these skills are still relevant for certain professional rolesor applications, but the modern undergraduate curriculum prioritizes learning how to learn andbecoming a resourceful problem-solver over accumulating the maximal set of discrete technicalskills. If the latter were the case, becoming an electronics engineer would entail little more thanmemorizing

As aresult, students classified as emergent bilinguals are often placed in tracks with low-level contentand low expectations [2], [3], [4], [5]. This leads to fewer opportunities to participate in math,science, or engineering lessons, thus exacerbating the inequities between multilingual studentsand their monolingual English peers [6], [7].
