members that wasinitiated in 2022. Specifically, the paper focuses on analyzing the faculty and staff perceptions asa function of both the number of proximal connections to family and friends who are veteransand the presumed closeness of those connections. Proximity was categorized as: self as veteran;spouse as veteran; grandparent; parent; adult child; sibling; extended relative; friend; former orcurrent student; and no veteran connection. Preliminary results suggest that having manyconnections to veteran populations is more impactful on one’s opinion and beliefs aboutstereotypes than having a more direct familial tie. Through this work, a deeper understanding ofthat impact has been developed as it relates to many common stereotypes of students

by a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering in2018 and has since created 37 episodes at the time of publication [4]. Topics of these episodesrange from discipline specific (e.g., what is mechanical engineering), to student experiences(e.g., what it’s like to be a first-generation student), to different types of career paths that requirean engineering degree (e.g., what is it like to work in the themed entertainment industry). Thepodcast has become a staple in EGR 1000 to help students explore career opportunities and thefield of engineering at their own pace.This study looked at two sections of EGR 1000 in Fall 2022 and two sections of EGR 1000 inSpring 2023.

For instance, women in STEM have been found to face microaggressions,have lower social capital, and receive lower wages than men (Committee on Increasing theNumber of Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine (STEMM)et al., 2020). Likewise, LGBTQ professionals in STEM were more likely to face interpersonalmarginalization and devaluation in project teams than in traditional work structures withoutproject-based teams (Cech & Waidzunas, 2022). Compared to their heterosexual and cis-gendercolleagues, LGBTQ people also experienced more career limitations and harassment (Cech &Waidzunas, 2021). These findings are consistent with prior conclusions that gender and sexualorientation-based

We utilize interpretative phenomenologicalanalysis (IPA) to understand how the women in our study experience and make meaning of theirgender and racial and ethnic identities in the engineering context. In delving into the distinctlived experiences of our participants, we see congruence with IPA (Creswell & Poth, 2016;Smith et al., 2009), particularly as we consider how their experiences relate to what is knownbeyond the disciplinary context (Merriam & Grenier, 2019; Smith et al., 2022).

Agency, or the capacity toexert power, enables students to navigate systemic barriers and advocate for institutional change[13]. The program equips undergraduate students with action research skills and educationaldesign tools to drive Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (JEDI)-focused change withinCEC. During our pilot in August 2021, the program recruited four students and five additionalstudents in May 2022.
