peersin STEM, LGBTQ students are likely not experiencing a level of state authenticity within STEMthat would retain them within these fields. Educators should consider how academicenvironments are construed to provide a supportive climate that allows LGBTQ students to beopen and that sets expectations for all students to respect and welcome the contributions of theirLGBTQ peers.IntroductionThe purpose of this research paper is to test the difference in the likelihood that LGBTQ (lesbian,gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning) students are open about their sexual orgender identities to peers in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) thanother members of their social networks. Healthy relationships with one’s peers
prevail. As such, developing innovativetools or methodologies that bridge this gap could significantly impact educational fairness andobjectivity, especially in disciplines like engineering, where in-person assessments play a crucialrole in student evaluation.Workflow of the ImplementationThere are 3 distinct elements to the implementation of our system and the development of thetool to administer anonymous in-person engineering exams, illustrated in Figure 1.

Projections indicate that the U.S. economy willwitness an addition of approximately 1.4 million STEM-related jobs by the year 2030 [1].Notably, the median wage for STEM occupations is roughly double that of other professions inthe economy. Consequently, higher education institutions advocate for increased enrollment inSTEM programs. The increasing globalization of the workforce and the collaborative nature
