“…Some unique characteristics of Black communication styles include oral narrative skills acquired through storytelling, excellence in narrative comprehension about story character's internal state, non-verbal communication, diverse forms of argumentation, expressive speech, circumlocution, call response, and narrativizing. [15,[24][25][26][27] Children from Black communities may experience different aspects of these diverse communication styles but not have mastered all aspects of these styles. Additionally, some African American youth are able to make judgements on which narrative style is best for the given situation (i.e.…”

Historically, the United States of America has been an innovative and technically proficient forerunner. This position is threatened as the country's ability to develop competitive quantities of engineers, equipped to tackle the complex challenges of the future, has come under question. These challenges are wicked and unknown and will force engineers to use collaborate and use technical skills to solve social problems. With this in mind, the National Academies of Engineering launched the Engineer of 2020 project and charged its Committee on Engineering Education to develop a vision for engineering in 2020 and beyond. The Engineer of 2020 will be characterized by 10 attributes. The descriptions of these skills are vague; many institutions and organizations have characterized these attributes and created internal metrics by and through which they will develop these attributes in their students.Yet, it is not the university's sole responsibility to develop engineering attributes in future engineers. Before beginning college, students have vast experiences both through formal and informal education, which may have already begun to foster these attributes. Additionally, there is a cultural transmission of knowledge and experiences which may inculcate students with interest towards interests in STEM fields. Thus, this literature review will discuss the engineer of 2020 attributes as discussed in historical and contemporary literature related to African Americans/Blacks, with a focus on males and precollege informal learning contexts. In this literature mapping review, the terms Blacks and African Americans will be used interchangeably. This work can impact the engineering education and diversity research by spurring increased conversation and research investigations of cultural practices and activities from informal settings which may contribute to engineering attribute development. IntroductionThis work will offer an additional perspective on how researchers can explore connections between the engineer of 2020 (E2020) attributes and the lived experiences of African American communities, particularly of African American male youth. As engineering educators develop engineers, who represent different cultures, it is important to understand their lived experiences and the social and historical occurrences that might serve as foundations for those experiences. These lived experiences can help us understand the intersection between a Black male student's lived experience and his journey on the engineering pathway.Although Black males are earn only 4.8% of engineering degrees awarded [2] , their presence in the discipline provides evidence of their ability to succeed in the field. Often our American society and their educational environments challenge Black boys by placing unseen obstacles in their pathways. One such obstacle is the significance American society places on practices, values and norms of the White majority community. The practices, norms and practices of African American students is not welcomed, incl...

Grounded in critical race, trauma, organizational culture, and systems theories, this chapter explores critical qualitative methodology merged with phenomenological philosophy. This grounding in phenomenology aids in a true embodied exploration and understanding of meaning making. It is the inclusion of critical qualitative research methodology that aids in understanding the broader context that shapes said meaning and experience. Embodied critical analysis™, a method Rodrigues developed, includes four phases where participants' beliefs, feelings, and actions are explored as well as culture and power. Identifying the connection between Black educator well-being and direct supervisor impact, the interview protocol allowed for data on intrapersonal, interpersonal, cultural, and institutional levels of experience to be generated. Thus, integrating a multi-dimensional approach to healing where focus on the Black educator, the supervisor, and the organization are interwoven serves as an integral approach to engaging holistic practice in research design.
