Through her narrative, we see how transformational resistance can occur at anypart of the identity development process, though certain identities during these parts may not besalient or significant to the individual. This paper addresses the complexity in creating diversity,equity, and inclusion (DEI) spaces for invisible marginalized identities and offers the experiencesof the participant to question the bounds of inclusivity in these spaces.IntroductionUnderstanding the lived experiences of invisible marginalized people in STEM (Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) is paramount to well-executed diversity, equity, andinclusion (DEI) programs.

Packard3 concluded that community colleges often provide an entry point for firstgeneration, low income, racial/ethnic minority or non-traditional college students. Increasing thenumbers of successfully graduating minority students in Science, Technology, Engineering andMath (STEM) is known to be achieved by intentional strategies to recruit students to and retainstudents at community colleges: emphasizing dual credit classes in high school, providingopportunity for career related experiences and providing community-related support4.

To meet industrydemands, the pool of students must be broadened. Thus, civil engineering departments mustexpand and improve their student support to retain and graduate students. Engineering educationis rigorous, and traditional methods to support student success have included tutoring,supplemental instruction, and workshops on meta-cognitive learning and time managementstrategies. Workforce training through internships is often reserved for students who have “madeit” through their early course work and have reached their upper division technical training.Research

Studentsreported that they became more aware of the learning process and recognized the importance of settinglearning objectives.The Task Environment is enhanced with
, especially for historically marginalized and minoritized students [1], [2]. Ong et al statethat as the demographics of the United States continue to shift, educational institutions have boththe obligation and motivation to develop learning environments that benefit students of allbackgrounds [3]. The classroom experience is a pivotal piece of a student’s collegiateexperience, and research has demonstrated the positive impacts of prioritizing and improvinginclusivity in the classroom to improve student experiences and belonging [1], [2], [4], [5]. Thisis especially important in the context of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math(STEM) classrooms, and more specifically engineering classrooms, because historically, the lackof diversity in
students provided anarrative of significant hurdles that may hinder success.Realizing the importance of undergraduate research for enriching the undergraduate learningexperience, UVU encourages undergraduate research through various grants. This includes the(i) Undergraduate Research Scholarly and Creative Activities (URSCA), (ii) D. Clark and PamTurner Endowment for Engaged Learning in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering andMath) Research Fellowships (TEELS), (iii) College of Science Scholarly Activities Committee(SAC), and the Grants for Engaged Learning (GEL). A common denominator of all thesefundings is the requirement for the students to be paired with a faculty mentor/advisor. To furtheraddress the challenge of time shortage, UVU allows

With moreengineering students, and fewer engineering faculty members, Nigerian engineering students(especially those in a non-private institutions) attend overcrowded classes [20], that are mostlynot technologically supported to enhance learning. As such, the students may have to: 1) get tothe class earlier (to secure a good sitting spot), 2) shun the noises and be highly attentive to thelecture, 3) seek a tutoring time (often conducted by a senior student who has previously done theclass before and more knowledgeable), 4) join smaller study group
