The remaining four students were interviewed via Zoom. As a first step to theinterview, all participants were asked to develop a timeline of their formative experiencesleading to becoming an engineering major.

; for example, Chen et. al. states that “[s]tudents from all backgrounds may find theexperience [of an unexpectedly poor academic performance] threatening to their competence, butstudents from minority groups must also contend with anxiety that this performance ‘confirms’negative academic stereotypes attributed to their group memberships”[10].Often, these biases and stereotypes reflect an automatic judgment without an awareness ofindividuals’ specific abilities or experiences [11] [12]. Thus, the format of assessment, rather thanthe rigor, quality, or intended learning can have undue effect on educational outcomes.

In this context, we do not consider the oral assessmentprimarily as being part of a summative assessment strategy. Instead, it is designed to be a touchpoint for a meaningful one-on-one interaction between a student and a member of theinstructional team. The value of early interventions for at-risk students is to increaseconnectedness to instructional staff and resources, and student engagement and self-efficacy. Theoral assessments were implemented explicitly with this focus. We also considered additionalbenefits, such as serving as formative assessments for the students to reflect on their level ofconceptual mastery and

Those at the top of the hierarchy,who are often not from minoritized groups, particularly need to reflect on their privileges andpositionalities in order to enact effective change [10].Engineers are still viewed by society as oblivious and antisocial, which lessens the appeal ofengineering to some.
