Journal of Pre-College Engineering Education Research (J-PEER)
Students classified as English language learners (ELLs), many of whom are also Hispanic/Latine´/x, are at times excluded from opportunities to engage in engineering design experiences due to the emphasis on learning English.

During approximately 200 hours of field work, we gathered multiple forms of data through ethnographic methods, to include field …
