The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) program is a National Science Foundation-wide activity that offers awards in support of junior faculty who exemplify the role of teacher-scholars through outstanding research, excellent education, and the integration of education and research within the context of the mission of their organizations. This project has the goal to investigate how undergraduate learning contexts may constrain or facilitate productive interactions between ethical, racial, and disciplinary identities of students of color in engineering and computer science. The project integrates research and education by infusing the research in undergraduate and graduate education courses and by involving undergraduate and graduate students in the work. This award is supported by the EHR Core Research (ECR) program with co-funding by the Science, Technology and Society program. ECR emphasizes fundamental STEM education research that generates foundational knowledge in the field. By combining longitudinal ethnographic and design-based approaches, this study contributes to the understanding of how undergraduate students of color experience the culture of engineering and computer science departments, while also exploring new educational possibilities that take seriously the ethical and sociocultural potential of these disciplines. The design component of the study, by synthesizing science and technology studies perspectives along with the benefits of undergraduate research experiences, creates novel opportunities for students to explore the ethical dimensions and social justice potential of new technologies. Empirical findings from the design experiment will help identify design and pedagogical principles that jointly cultivate multiple student identities within STEM learning environments. Finally, this project contributes to the scholarly and national conversation on issues of equity in STEM education in conceptually and methodologically unique ways. Few studies have considered the role of ethical identity in the experiences of students of color in engineering and computer science or examined their experiences over a sustained period and across multiple contexts. Findings from this study will contribute to fundamental learning sciences research on identity development in STEM, as well as to the knowledge base about how to design equitable STEM learning environments.

教师早期职业发展（CAREER）计划是国家科学基金会范围内的活动，提供奖励，以支持初级教师谁通过杰出的研究，优秀的教育，以及教育和研究的整合在其组织的使命的背景下，发挥教师学者的作用。该项目的目标是调查本科学习环境如何限制或促进工程和计算机科学中有色人种学生的道德，种族和学科身份之间的有效互动。该项目通过将研究注入本科生和研究生教育课程，并让本科生和研究生参与工作，将研究和教育结合起来。该奖项由EHR核心研究（ECR）计划支持，并由科学，技术和社会计划共同资助。ECR强调基础STEM教育研究，产生该领域的基础知识。通过结合纵向民族志和基于设计的方法，本研究有助于了解有色人种的本科生如何体验工程和计算机科学系的文化，同时也探索了新的教育可能性，认真对待这些学科的道德和社会文化潜力。该研究的设计部分，通过综合科学和技术研究的观点，沿着本科研究经验的好处，为学生创造新的机会，探索新技术的伦理层面和社会正义的潜力。设计实验的实证研究结果将有助于确定设计和教学原则，共同培养STEM学习环境中的多种学生身份。最后，该项目有助于在STEM教育的概念和方法独特的方式公平问题的学术和国家对话。很少有研究考虑到伦理身份在工程和计算机科学的有色人种学生的经历中的作用，或者在一段持续的时间内和多种背景下研究他们的经历。本研究的发现将有助于关于STEM身份发展的基础学习科学研究，以及有关如何设计公平的STEM学习环境的知识库。
