Session Description

This session delves into experiences and initiatives aimed at supporting marginalized students in architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) fields, as well as STEM more broadly. Presentations will explore equity and resilience perceptions among marginalized AEC students in infrastructure projects, the funds of knowledge and social capital of migratory students in STEM, and the growth of graduate mentors through intensive research institutes. Additionally, ongoing work on mentoring and motivating first-generation undergraduate students in engineering will be discussed. Join us for an enriching discussion on empowering marginalized voices and fostering inclusivity in STEM education and research.

For those interested in: Academia-Industry Connections, Advocacy and Policy, Broadening Participation in Engineering and Engineering Technology, New Members, and Pre-College
