the trans studies discourse into their work.Quality and academic rigorTo ensure qualitative rigor, we follow Walther et al.’s [21] qualifying qualitative research quality(Q3) framework. The Q3 framework’s emphasis on reflexivity coordinates with reflexive contentanalysis and centers the impact of prior experience and societal conditioning in our researchprocess. While we recognize the shortcomings of utilizing the Q3 framework, it is widelyrecognized as an appropriate method of analyzing qualitative research quality in engineeringeducation. We assured theoretical validity in our study by purposefully sampling articles fromtrans studies that best aligned with educational practices and by choosing STEM educationpapers written by authors

HSIs and computing or engineering departments cansupport students by recognizing the strengths of the local community, hiring staff and NTTs withshared cultural backgrounds, and elevating the important work of staff and NTTs in creatinginclusive educational environments and expanding students’ access to opportunities.References[1] Committee On Underrepresented Groups And The Expansion Of The Science And Engineering Workforce Pipeline (U.S, Expanding underrepresented minority participation.

AQFT, as Jackson explains, “build[s] curiosity about the lesson, and see[s] what the students know andwhat they want to know.” The QFT technique allowed students to connect energy concepts with memoriesof their favorite childhood toys, allowing them to connect their background to the lesson better. As part ofthe activity, students also researched the carbon footprint behind their favorite snacks. The students alsoconsidered how climate change has changed relevant aspects of their lives. Jackson: And then we talk about, again, the effects of global climate change on anything they want to think about. Has it affected music? Has it affected video games? So what is it, you know? In
