Program Abstract: This presentation explores the under-researched area of stress, distress, and trauma (SDT) among Black, Latino, and Indigenous (BLI) engineering students, highlighting the impact of racial discrimination and microaggressions. Our systematic literature review analyzed existing engineering education research (EER) to uncover how racialized trauma affects BLI students' outcomes. Findings reveal a significant gap in addressing structural racism in engineering education. This work underscores the need for further research and institutional change to support BLI students effectively.
