Specifically, we ask the question, how arenonbinary engineering students receiving supports from cisgender and transgender altersthat witness and mirror them as nonbinary engineers? We are interested in who supportsnonbinary engineers in their academic careers and how these individuals provide support that isaffirming to nonbinary individuals using a framework we developed for understanding nonbinaryindividuals’ social supports based on two existing frameworks.Conceptual FrameworkWe propose a conceptual framework for exploring the supporting roles of cisgender and trans*alters using

Other qualitative successes included students continuing theirextracurricular involvement in career-focused work after the program ended. The next step forthis research study is to conduct interviews with the students from prior cohorts to gainadditional insight into the potential broader impact of the program on student’s confidencewithin academia and in preparation for their future profession.

response to identification of these systemic issues, in 2001 the National Science Foundationlaunched Institutional Transformation grants as a new initiative in the ADVANCE program.Research planning grants and career advancement grants supporting individual women werephased out, and greater emphasis was placed on systemic change within academic institutions[33]. From a review of 37 ADVANCE institutional transformation initiatives from 2001 to 2008,Morimoto and coauthors argued that creating equity in gendered organizations must go wellbeyond articulating policy, beyond attending to the needs of individuals, and beyond workingtoward balanced gender composition among the ranks of faculty, all of which they characterizedas surface-level work [5].

Students who have reduced self-efficacy or do not exude confidence to otherscan also find themselves with more limited opportunities to productively work with others,which leads to a snowball effect and reduces confidence even further over the course of theundergraduate career. Low self-efficacy has been positively and significantly correlated to pooracademic performance and low persistence in a wide range of subjects and disciplines [26].Consistent feelings of being discouraged in a course are not simply about being in a bad mood,but instead are a handicap that, if not addressed, can carry over into other courses and into thestudent’s early career.

225,500 graduate STEM degrees were awarded in the U.S.; 181,000 being masterdegrees and 44,500 were doctoral degrees [1], [2], [3] . According to the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) [4], URM graduate students only earned about 9% of the overall doctoraldegrees awarded in 2015 and about 13% of undergraduate degrees. This evidence suggests thatSTEM doctoral programs in the U.S. are severely deficient in representation from students ofdifferent racial and ethnic groups.

The variability of studentperceived needs itself leads to difficulty for instructors seeking to motivate and engage allstudents working toward learning objectives of the course, but it is further complicated by theprior knowledge of students. As varied as their expectations are, their levels of experiencerelating to the various learning outcomes of the course are equally diverse.
