they are failing tocommunicate. Instead, they will ascribe negative personality traits and behavior to each other.That is because different cultures tend to assign differing interpretations to specific words,phrases, texts, and situations. Thus, what may be polite interaction in one culture may be aninsult in another. Furthermore, although Participant A may have learned Participant B’s language and speak it well with him or her, nevertheless, speaking the same language does not meanassigning the same meanings to spoken or written words. As Blum-Kulka and Oshtain say,“[S]econd language speakers might fail to communicate effectively, even when they have anexcellent grammatical and lexical command of the target language”1 (my italics).

EM.IntroductionEntrepreneurship education has been regarded as an important component of undergraduatetraining programs in the last decade [1], including in engineering education [2]. For example,94% or above of faculty and academic administrators believe that students should have access toinnovation and entrepreneurship opportunities via electives and/or extracurricular activities,despite their personal engagement level in those opportunities [2]. Most respondents in the study,however, identify challenges to making entrepreneurship a core component of curriculum, with a“lack of room in curriculum” reported as the most common challenge [2].The author(s) acknowledge The Kern Family Foundation’s support and collaboration through theKern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network

agencies.Objectives of the Work. Participants described the objective(s) of their work in ways that wecategorized as externally or internally focused objectives. Externally we identified fivesubcategories of objectives: complete a project successfully, design structures, restore power,supervise contractors’ performance, and control energy costs. Internally, we identified foursubcategories: improve equipment performance, develop standards, support and develop theteam, and manage and develop career (see Appendix 2, Table 3.2). For example, one of themajor objectives of the work was designing, building, and maintaining a regional energyinfrastructure for the purpose or outcome of delivering power to that regions group of customers.This objective was presented
, undergraduate research experience helpsengineering students develop communication skills.The findings further revealed that students’ reflexive positionings and identities interplayed andimpacted each other. For example, one female student recursively constructs an identity as apotential engineer when reflecting on technical work experience. That identity as a potentialengineer influenced her to position herself as an active agent who was willing to take action inorder to work in the engineering field after graduation. Just like undergraduate engineeringstudents in Schell et al.’s [12] study, the students who could identify themselves as engineerswithin internship experience influenced their future plans to consider engineering as a career.Implications

Society (STS) scholar Ruha Benjamin highlights themany ways engineering applications have perpetuated and reinforced racist outcomes becausethey sit on allegedly neutral decisions made by engineers with narrow lived experiences orwithout a critical understanding of history and power relations (2019).Double Consciousness and the Role(s) of EducationContemporary theories around identity development and sense of belonging are not dissimilarfrom those articulated by W.E.B. Du Bois in Souls of Black Folks in 1903. Du Bois was asociologist, historian, and Black liberation activist whose arguments around self and educationresonate deeply today. We draw on his notions of double-consciousness in education, which hedescribes in the Souls of Black Folks

This resistance to engagement may be one reason why the frequency of studentresponses decreased throughout the semester. On the other side of this challenge, a student’slevel of metacognitive depth may be higher than their actual abilities. For example, one of
