education and the professions.Researchers in engineering education call for innovative research methodologies to increase diversity in engineeringeducation. 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

in Portugal [10] and in the US[11].A similar approach was used also at Link¨oping University during a few years, until about tenyears ago. At that time, students in the five-year integrated Master’s program in MechanicalEngineering started their education with a broad introductory engineering course. This coursecovered a lot of different subjects as for example design, production technology, written and oralcommunication and ecological sustainability. The course unfortunately gained a bad reputationamong both students and teachers for being too vague, to lack clear focus and objectives, and forbad integration between the subjects. This ultimately led to a discontinuation of the course.Since then, there has been a quite compact resistance
