Sophie highlights reasonswhy for her and other students experiencing similar microaggressions, they may choose to stay silent:definitively gendered and problematic, they may fear retaliation from or worsening relations with fellowteammates. She also notes that gendered microaggressions are “a society thing, not like a school thing.” Ifwe consider how engineering professors might typically relate to gendered microaggressions – to assumethey are not happening (out of sight out of mind), to worry whether they themselves are

First published in the 1930’s, thetest measures an individual's ability to manipulate two-dimensional objects in their mind and isoften used to assess spatial visualization skills in engineering students. Unlike the PSVT:R, theRMPFBT has two equivalent forms, which should reduce practice effects. In 2018 and 2021,form AA was given as the pre-test, and BB was given as the post-test.

Leucippus ofMiletus claimed the world was made from a combination of imperceptible matter and a voidseparating them. Plato argued that reality existed in the human mind in the form of experienceand therefore any effort to quantify imperceptible matter was futile [11].
