As such, our research questions areas follows: • What are the consistent and contrasting stories of two LGBTQ+ engineering students’ experiences at an HSI? • How do two LGBTQ+ engineering students attending an HSI feel they could be better supported?4. Conceptual FrameworkFor this study, we utilize draw on the Model of Multiple Dimensions of Identity (MMDI)framework [15] to understand how our participants perceive the salience of different dimensionsof their identities as they discuss their experiences of marginalization in engineering. The MMDIillustrates that one’s personal identity is composed of multiple layers of intersecting socialidentities (race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexual
