making sure every student graduate and the course curriculum and all that stuff.Drawing from our findings, EIF are not just restricted to their primary duty of teaching, they arealso involved in multiple other roles across the leadership spectrum in engineering education.One of the EIF that typifies this is Victor. Victor is the associate department chair; as such, heenumerates the number of leadership roles he takes on in his department. I'm the associate chair in the department, I am in charge of the undergraduate curriculum. I support several of the tasks such as scheduling, managing personnel, laboratories. Also, I am, in part of academics, I'm an ABET accredited program evaluator. So, during the last cycle, I

on both teaching andlearning, the researchers felt it was vitally important to understand how FG engineering studentsemotionally interpret HC. By neglecting the power of emotions in both engineering andengineering education, emotions could (and have, given the example above) be used to maintainHC and its subservient ways to perpetuating an uneven, unequitable, and dehumanizing systemthat privileges dominant identities at the expense everyone left in their wake. This paper seeks tounderstand the emotional self-expression of underrepresented FG (and their intersectingidentities of race and gender) engineering students when asked about their previous experiencesand perceptions with hidden curriculum in engineering. Additionally, this paper

].STEM academic positions often require substantial needs for laboratory space andinstrumentation, along with startup funding that often comes with timeline constraints, all ofwhich can pose particular challenges when disabilities are not considered in the design andimplementation of the workplaces. Furthermore, despite decades of research that has addressedincreasing diversity among STEM faculty, very little work has addressed accessibility and equityfor disabled faculty. Conference participation poses challenges for some faculty with disabilitiesranging from access to spaces, accessible technology, sign language interpreters, extra travelexpenses, and appropriate food [27]. Further, communication and networking with otherparticipants can be
