Their research revolves around investigating how LGBTQ+ students resist the hos- tile culture of engineering and, more broadly, STEM. They mentor a group of LGBTQ+ undergraduate engineers and investigate the collective resistance by LGBTQ+ students through student driven organiza- tions with them.

program was originally designed to address the specific educational objectivesof the Civil Engineering Program which state “Graduates of the Civil Engineering program willdemonstrate professional responsibility and a sensitivity to a broad range of societal concernssuch as ethical, environmental, economic, regulatory and global issues.” While this educationalobjective was originally adopted for civil engineering students, it is applicable to all engineeringstudents regardless of discipline. Specific educational outcomes for the program include: 1) Thebroad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global andsocietal context, 2) Recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in, life-long learning,and 3

These practices were centered on taking breaks from being astudent, like reading a book for pleasure or a trip off campus. Creek noted her shift in understandingwhat activities make her happy and why in her journal in February and that her happiness was no longertied to her GPA. “I’m happy when I’m reading books and talking to my best friend about rekindling ourchildhood love of books”. During the orientation interview, Creek described how other students oftenfail to recognize how to take care of themselves. “We don't

Datashows the adjunct faculty full time equivalence (FTE) represents about 7% (2,940 FTE of36,776) of all engineering instructional positions [6]. Similarly, the National ScienceFoundation’s National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics reports that about 10% ofScience, engineering, and health doctorate holders employed in universities and 4-year collegeswere adjunct faculty in 2017, i.e. 19,800 of 212,700 faculty positions [7
. Engineering students who had completed the WGS 250course in Spring 2018 or 2019 but had not yet graduated (N = 7) were invited to one of two focusgroup sessions held in February, 2020. The invitation included a description of the study and anassurance of confidentiality.Informed consent was obtained from the study participants in writing before any questions wereposed. Discussions were facilitated by one author and a faculty colleague, neither of whom hadserved as an instructor for any WGS class. Focus group facilitators provided copies of the WGS250 reading list as a way of reminding participants of past course content and providingreference points for specific reading and authors. In keeping with best practices for focus groupinteractions

Since the study of engineering at theundergraduate level has not traditionally provided a foundation for the practice of any professionother than engineering, few non-engineering students take engineering courses for purely utilitar-ian reasons.

Many of the ideas mentioned in this section are ideas that students learned about in theirintroductory design courses. Another student also mentioned how the idea of empathy can also connect tothe Jesuit tradition of educating the whole person. Specifically, they talked about the practice of“examenitos,” or short contemplative reflections about their day, that allowed them to “practicemindfulness, gratitude, and reimagine our own experiences and conditions… all of which create a moreholistic brand of engineering (Mystical Mango).” Humanity.
