researchers can disrupt the chilly, heteronormativeculture of STEM by modeling inclusive classroom and lab practices. Additionally, we offerinsights on how students negotiate their identity visibility in a chilly, heteronormative, and silentculture. Introduction Despite efforts to increase diversity and inclusion on college and university campuses,Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) programs continue to be largelycisgender, male, heterosexual, and white [1]–[3]This continued lack of diversity is largely due tothe heteronormative, racist, and sexist culture that serves to make STEM spaces inhospitable formarginalized students, and results in high levels of attrition for these groups [1], [4].

the past couple ofdecades. Lang et al. (1999) write, “In an era of unprecedented technological advancement,engineering practice continues to evolve but engineering education has not changed appreciablysince the 1950s” [6]. While there are some bright spots, real changes have been far too small andslow. This is ironic because technology, typically developed by engineers, changes very rapidly.It is also ironic because many engineering professors work on cutting-edge research, whileteaching their courses essentially the same way for many years. Engineering education has notkept pace with a changing world. While there are many possible reasons for the lack of progress,one solution is to launch a brand-new program with intentional design to
