AB  - The cultural assets that engineering learners use to meet coursework demands and navigate engineering programs can be invisible to engineering educators. To examine these cultural assets of engineering learners, a quantitative instrument was designed using Community Cultural Wealth (CCW) as a theoretical lens. It was distributed as part of a tri-campus study. CCW theory delineates six forms of cultural capital that reflect the assets and resources people accumulate through their ways of living. These forms include aspirational, linguistic, familial, social, navigational, and resistant capitals. An 18-item survey was designed to connect engineering students’ cultural assets to the ways they navigate their present-day lives as college students and foresee their future lives as engineers. The study recruited a sample of undergraduate students registered in engineering majors at three institutions of higher education including a public Hispanic Serving Institution, a Tier-2 research institution, and a Tier-1 research institution. The survey findings corroborate results found in other studies. Although our study is limited by a sample size of just seventy-five students from three different engineering schools, the findings show two key results that we present in this paper. First, Students of Color scored higher than White Students on a combined index of survey items measuring the six forms of cultural capital. Second, we discuss how Students of Color, who are more likely to be First-Generation students, use their cultural assets in unique ways. We discuss the important implications of these findings for the development and implementation of engineering instructional practices and curricula.
