someone’s personhood before mentioning their disability (e.g., “person withdisabilities”). Identity-first language mentions the disability before the person (e.g., “disabledperson”) [17]. All authors identify as disabled and use both identity-first and person-first languagein their writing. However, it is also important to note that we both prefer identity-first language forourselves. We believe that using identity-first language is important to bring visibility to thedisability as an identity, build community, and seek needed resources. We ask that non-disabledpeople mirror and respect the identity labeling preferences of the disabled person or group thatthey are interacting with and/or communicating about. In this paper, we use person- and

It is unclear whether thesestudents were indicating they were attracted to the same gender or if they misunderstood whatwe meant by “sexual identity.”The survey also asks if the student is “an active member or veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces,Reserves, or National Guard” and if they are a U.S. Citizen. These identities are particularlyinfluential in aerospace engineering because of the connections between the field and nationaldefense. It would not be surprising if military service were to, for example, influence students’perceptions on the MIC. Furthermore, many non-U.S. Citizens have difficulty securing a job inthe aerospace industry because of

She also reflected on the importance of soldering exposure, as a missed opportunityfor her, through her peers’ experiences in a lab that requires students to solder tens of LEDs tobuild an LED cube. She stated, “To some, the immense amount of soldering in this lab is one ofthe most memorable components of the class, for better or for worse… With the LED arrayproject, you're soldering repeatedly to learn the skill.” As a result of such exclusion due to theableist, primarily visual nature of lab tools, Kulkarni “focused much

They found that theseinterventions, though they did not change the level of self-reported test anxiety in students, didincrease exam performance.

Women’s experiences in engineering design teams has been the subject of a number ofstudies, with several studies noting that women’s experiences in teams could potentially“recreate sexist environments already found in the university environment for undergraduatewomen if they are not properly managed” [28, pp. 82]. Negative experiences in teams (not beingaccepted, heard, or respected by her peers) could have significant long-term impacts, i.e., it couldbe the difference between staying or abandoning engineering after graduation.
