Interviews were guided by a protocol that focused on students’motivations for enrolling in the course, general course reflections and learning outcomes,thoughts on design thinking, and reflections on the design notebook.

Using this method,for the difficult dimension, the model learns to identify words that are more correlated withhigher difficulty ratings but not correlated with quality ratings.From these word lists, two of the authors manually annotated the words that were valid membersof the different dimensions based on fixed criteria. For example, the word “helping” would countas helpful but not clear because helpful words should reflect positive social behavior while clearwords indicate effective communication. Next, we adapt these lists to the original CCE dataset bycomputing the nearest neighbors to the words in each dimension, using word embeddings trainedon the CCE text data [22]. Computing

slowlyincreased (Cunninghame et al., 2016), this group still remains largely underrepresented in STEMdisciplines (Moon et al., 2012). This discrepancy in representation reflects larger issues ofmarginalization in STEM fields and higher education at large. Current support structures fordisabled people remain ineffective, as accessing necessary resources requires navigatingphysical, cultural, and bureaucratic barriers (Groen-McCall et al., 2018). These barriers onlycontinue to widen for disabled students planning to pursue engineering careers (Prema & Dhand,2019), as seen in the high unemployment rate for disabled scientists and engineers, which isgreater than that of the entire U.S. labor force (Lee, 2010; NSF, 2017).

The paper presents two main findings from theinterviews and the students’ reflections.

inequities they sought to address.Freire characterized this as “false generosity”—as charity offered that does not empower, butinstead fosters dependency. While such aid may help individuals, it also sustains inequities [10].Addressing inequality in engineering education means interrogating the origins of inequalities.Efforts to unravel those systems requires the knowledge of decolonization and engaging indecolonizing methodologies [11]. This is important to reflect on because when organizationsenter a community, they often act in colonizing ways and extend oppressive systemsmasquerading as aid.

They decide what to include and exclude from the problem, bounding it [8]. To do so,they gather information to fill in gaps in their understanding [9].
