By getting out of their way, we have empowered them to design their own programsand ideas without relying on the ‘adults in the room’, - and the SiS program is much stronger forthat. We do not presume that we know better than our students, how to teach love of engineeringand STEM.

classrooms which are focused on student team dynamics are well documented [3], [9][10], [11]. However, it is critical to provide guidance on the value and importance of leveragingthe benefits of diverse teams [12]. When the benefits of diverse teams are not pointedlyaddressed, the effectiveness of a diverse team can be diminished.

How can communities centered around visible identity, such as women in engineering student organizations, also make space for intersectional invisible identities, such as asexuality?While current efforts in designing DEI programming have made significant strides, researchersand practitioners alike must address these questions in designing truly inclusive andwell-executed DEI spaces. Kayla’s experience illustrates that DEI spaces, while welcome, maynot necessarily be desired by the target population. In other words, DEI spaces must beaccessible to all, but not all marginalized people will want to access DEI spaces for theiridentities.

Sheexpected coursework to play a minimal role in the degree program, but found instead that it wasdifficult to balance both research and coursework. For many students who felt that they knew whatneeded to be done coming in, learning how to complete those tasks still felt challenging
