My unique new materialist and arts-based research project explores the intersections of race, gender,history, STEM education, and the arts, and is guided by the principles of culturally responsive methodologies. I usethis work-in-progress to better understand how the film Hidden Figures affected the public’s understanding ofscience, technology, engineering, and mathematics education and the professions. My purpose is to uncover andshare additional hidden stories about Black women’s experiences in engineering education and the professionstoday, but also to demonstrate a different methodological

truth is that the patentability of an invention, and the right to sell and make the inventionwithout infringement of another patent, are completely unrelated. By misunderstanding thisconcept, engineers may eventually lose patent rights or infringe the patent rights of a competitor.More importantly, engineers may fail to gain adequate funding for their technology and mayconsequently fail to introduce, sell, and make an impact with their technology.Attempts to Educate EngineersPatent law courses are offered to engineering students at many of the top engineering schools,including: • Massachusetts Institute of Technology (6.901: Inventions and Patents)1, • Stanford University (ME208: Patent Law and Strategy)2, • University of Illinois
This has paralleled the call for a transformational change in thebroader science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education community3 and hasresulted in significant resources by both government and corporate entities to improve teachingand learning in the STEM disciplines.4 Since focusing on developing evidence-based teachinginnovations has not been enough to affect pervasive change in teaching practices in engineeringschools, the emphasis by organizations including the National Science Foundation and theNational Academy of Engineering has shifted to developing an understanding of the extent of theadoption of innovations5-12.In university engineering departments, individual faculty members are typically responsible forclassroom
