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. While crafting programs for marginalized people
). Along this evolution is a shift of research paradigms—from the post-positivist to the constructivist / interpretivist and then to the critical / culturalparadigm (Patton et al., 2016; Schuh & Jones, 2017).Engineering Competencies Being like-minded to educators and professionals in higher education in general,communities of engineering education are also highly interested in student development. Thisinterest is partially exhibited through their concern about engineering students’ competencydevelopment (Davis, Beyerlein, & Davis, 2006; Dunwoody, et al., 2018; Kamp, 2016). Thesecompetencies are formalized and reinforced by engineering accreditation standards (e.g., theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, or ABET

The ability of a similarity engine to retain accurate and precise detectionof plagiarized source code files in spite of the application of mutations is an important factor toconsider in an evaluation

According to the 2009 report from the National Assessment of Educational Progress[1], the proportion of students who are proficient in Science drops from 32% in 4th grade to 21%in 12th grade, leading to a lesser than desired proportion of students planning to pursue STEMmajors in college. This number further dwindles

This study will seek to discover the most influential factors that contribute to women choosing to either pursue or avoid a career in STEM. The survey will be targeted toward women currently pursuing or working in a STEM field. It asks demographic questions and requests participants to rate how much different factors influenced them to choose a STEM career path. Additionally, it will ask what the challenges or disadvantages are that cause women to have hesitancies about entering the STEM field. The survey will be distributed to various groups of females in
