Dr. Walter Lee is an Associate Professor in the Department of Engineering Education at Virginia Tech
and the Director for Research in the Center for the Enhancement of Engineering Diversity (or CEED). He
is broadly interested in inclusion, diversity, and educational equity—particularly as it relates to students
from groups that are historically underrepresented or marginalized in engineering. Lee received his Ph.D.
in engineering education from Virginia Tech; his M.S. in industrial & systems engineering from Virginia
Tech; and his B.S. in industrial engineering from Clemson University.

Taylor Y. Johnson is a graduate student at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University pursuing
a Ph.D. in Engineering Education, where she serves as a graduate research assistant. Taylor earned her
Bachelor’s from The University of Texas at Austin in Biomedical Engineering. She was previously a
member of the student support staff for the Virginia Tech Center for the Enhancement of Engineering
Diversity where she served as an instructor for the first-year professional development seminar and as coordinator for the summer bridge program. Her research interests include equity in engineering education,
middle-years of engineering, and engineering student support.

Abstract
The purpose of this NSF CAREER project is to advance understanding of the navigational strategies used by undergraduate engineering students from marginalized groups. Our goal is to identify insights that can be used to develop responsive support structures, prevent further harm, and address actors who perpetuate an unjust system. Our project will benefit the engineering education ecosystem by illuminating ways to transform engineering education into a learning environment that values and uplifts all of its participants. Our poster will present an overview of our: 1) conceptual model informing our data collection; 3) workshop development and implementation; and 3) instrument revision and piloting.
