She also serves as the Education Director for the QESST Engineering Research Center. Michelle’s program of research focuses on social interactions in collaborative learning contexts. She is particularly interested in how students navigate communication challenges as they negotiate
oftenrequiring interdisciplinary teamwork. Students need to negotiate a range of viewpoints, including avariety of specialties, and balance their unique contributions to form a coherent whole. Teamworkis a necessary skill for engineers with its significance recognized by ABET (Accreditation Boardfor Engineering and Technology): Criterion 3, Student Outcome 5 - “Students should be able tofunction effectively as members of a technical team, and as leaders on technical teams”.Teamwork is often the key to solving the complex problems engineers face. One goal of higher education is to prepare students for their professional lives. Teamworkis imperative to solve “real-world” problems [3]. Teamwork is a highly important skill forengineers to have

Prior literature indicates that the underrepresentation ofLGBTQ+ students in STEM persists due to the heteronormative culture of engineering [2].Furthermore, Leyva et al.
