c Society for Engineering Education, 2021Creating a Diverse Next Generation of Technically- and Community-Minded STEM Professionals Purdue UniversityAbstractIn 2019, the National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center, CISTAR, partnered withthe National Society of Black Engineer’s Summer Engineering Experience for Kids, NSBESEEK, to develop a summer program like no other! Through an NSF Research Experience andMentoring (REM) summer program, CISTAR was able to give students and teachers anopportunity to do 6-weeks of cutting-edge research at CISTAR and then “give back” bymentoring kids for 4-weeks at NSBE SEEK—all in one summer. In this paper, we elaborate onthe rationale for the program, namely

highlighting the voices and experiences of those at the intersection ofmultiple marginalized identities and were mindful of the authors we were featuring. We includedreadings from authors with different gender, racial, and queer identities, as well as articles studyingthese intersections to provide a cohesive picture of STEM. We discussed the literature bias towardscisgender gay white men, particularly in the foundational works of the field (e.g., Rhoads, 1994).A full list of topics and readings can be found in Appendix I.To gauge student interest, we sent out a survey to undergraduate and graduate students in theCollege of Natural Sciences and the School of Engineering via the department academiccoordinators. We also advertised through students
