societalimpact and to align with ABET standards, the Webb Communication Program at the WoodruffSchool has established a guiding framework that defines our understanding of what effectivecommunication is. Specifically, this framework names appropriateness and responsiveness as thefoundation of effective communication. These are defined in the following ways: 1. Appropriateness: The quality of a prepared message that reflects its suitability in addressing the specific context, audience, and purpose, resulting in a communication that is ideally curated and positioned for maximum effectiveness. 2. Responsiveness: The quality of being adaptable and receptive to the evolving dynamics of a communication context, enabling timely and

is because knowledge and ways of knowing play a rolein power dynamics and control such that the hegemonic majority maintains dominance over thecultural narrative [42]–[44]. The hidden curriculum in engineering reflects the epistemic originsof the profession, which assert the values and norms upheld in engineering learning spaces aswell as the field. These engineering epistemologies are unspoken and unacknowledged (hidden),which can serve to limit underrepresented and underserved communities in engineering learningenvironments. We identify the hidden epistemologies that emerge from the teaming experiencesof African American females and recognize their role in impacting these students’ experiences asengineers.MethodsMethodologyWe performed

Data was recorded every two minutes for every category usinga set of established codes. Along with the codes, thorough notes were taken at each time interval,and an analytical memo was created after every observation. Given that every class had a similarweekday schedule, another important element was the class timetable. For the pilot study, theresearcher performed two classroom observations. She observed each section at a different time.This helped the researcher to compile an analytical memo reflecting on the observation.Semi-structured interviewThe main goal of employing semi-structured interviews for gathering data was to learn moreabout

We take these elements (production of tools, originalinnovation, and the commitment to human welfare) to be foundational (though incomplete) dueto their ubiquity and use this as a starting point for our analysis [1], [2

This reason points to why student agency as a form ofresistance against and liberation from the hegemony of dominant ideologies and social structuresis so commonly invoked [15]. Building off bell hooks [15] work, Secules and colleagues [13]identified a form of student agency that emerges from theorizing narratives about one’sexperiences encountering dominant mindsets and ideologies [1-2, 5] of an engineering program.They explored the experience of a student from a historically marginalized underrepresentedgroup in engineering and found that “constructing and reflecting on narratives about [student]experiences and relating them to cultural narratives

For instance, John Anderson in the Bridge: a National Academy of Engineers platformsuggested creating definitions with more “operational” key terms [8].

transitions in thiscollaborative autoethnography work.3. MethodsAutoethnography (AE) can be described as a study of the self, where the self acts as a window tothe world, society, or culture. AE, where the researcher acts as both participant and researcher,oftentimes gets critiqued for being self-absorbing and mere naval-gazing. To overcome thelimitation of AE, in Collaborative Autoethnography (CAE), a team of researchers workscollectively to collect, analyze, and interpret data to “gain a meaningful understanding ofsociocultural phenomena reflected in their autobiographical data” [11, p. 24]. By allowing eachresearcher to share their narrative in a way that resonates with others, collaborativeautoethnography is regarded as a transformative process
