In recruiting interview participants, we strategically oversampled for marginalizedracial/ethnic and gender identities to ensure diverse perspectives. During the interview process,we observed that student participants reflected on their strengths and connected them to theirwork in and beyond engineering courses, suggesting the potential of APPI to be used both as anasset-based pedagogical intervention and as a research method for collaborative sense-makingwith students about their experiences. We believe that students were able to better recognize andactivate their assets because of APPI’s roots in social constructivism, which enables participantsto engage in collective inquiry and dialogue

While the field ofengineering is diversifying, in the United States, nearly three-quarters of engineering positionsare still held by men, two-thirds of whom identify as white [12]. Until there is greaterrepresentation in the sciences and engineering fields, new pedagogical approaches are required toensure that engineering designs are inclusive and appropriate for the sociocultural contexts intowhich they are implemented.Many institutions develop DEI education as a separate, focused course to assist engineers inunderstanding place-based context.

These experiences notonly contribute to a heightened sense of marginalization and demoralization among aspiringwomen engineers but also create a hostile work environment that hinders their career progressionand stunts their motivation to stay in the field.These problems are reflected in persistent departures of women from the field of engineering,indicating an urgent need for intervention [9]. Many women cite personal misalignment with thefield as the reason for their departure [9]. Furthermore, the number of women decreasesdramatically as one moves up the industrial ladder. While women may enter engineering roles,they are less likely to ascend to higher-level positions, resulting in fewer female leaders and rolemodels within the
