I decided to conduct research on the topic to see how the dominant group (white- male students) views these issues and what are they doing to solve them. Furthermore, I explored what could be done to improve the culture climate for minoritized groups

This decline in female representation at thefaculty level is also observed broadly throughout science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) fields in general (Fig. 1B) [6], [7]. Furthermore, this lack of representationis not limited to academia; while 46% of STEM doctoral degrees are awarded to women, only32% of STEM positions in government and industry are occupied by women [7]. Therefore, evenin cases where women eagerly pursue a STEM education, they disproportionately choose not toutilize this education after graduation. This is not only detrimental to the women themselves, butalso to maximizing the potential of the national STEM workforce.Figure 1: Female Representation in Biomedical

, specifically the SDG 5, which aims to achieve equal rights and opportunities for womenand girls.As mentioned earlier, the low representation of women in engineering remains a concern, as theirparticipation in STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) hoversaround 20%. This figure is even lower in specific engineering specialties, as reported by Zapataand Truyol (2022) [6]. According to the 2019 European Union report "She Figures”, only 15% ofwomen in STEM occupy high-ranking positions, compared to 22% of those present in highereducation [7]. This leads to an unequal representation of genders in a highly relevant space, asare Universities, where the education of future professionals takes place.A 2005 study conducted a
