medicine [19] and business [20]. Previous researchers havedescribed HC in STEM education, such as physics research community culture [21] andgendered lessons in STEM course syllabi [22].Engineering status quo The status quo in engineering is a result of unchallenged, unacknowledged, orunaddressed HC and negative impacts those who has been traditionally excluded from thediscipline. Engineering has long fostered gendered values of objectivity, autonomy, andseparation that all genders display, uphold, and practice [22]. This objectivity feeds theperception that engineering is colorblind, class-blind, and gender-blind, and relies on a system ofmeritocracy as the basis for success [23]. Thus, meritocracy, or the hardest worker will receivethe

In addition, priorresearch has shown that EIF want to develop and implement learner-centered, culturallyresponsive instructional designs, but lack the support given to their tenure-line counterparts atfour-year institutions [18].Given the recent growth in these positions, researchers have called for universities to addressdepartmental and university-wide culture and policies around hiring, developing, and promotinginstructional faculty [34], [35], [36], [26].

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.

Despite the availability of a rich collection of published research on womenfaculty that has increasingly used an intersectional lens, these conversations rarely meaningfullyaddress strategies to make faculty careers more welcoming and accessible to women withdisabilities. Further, as the professoriate ages, there will be an increasing number of faculty withdisabilities, and the pandemic has a disproportionate impact on many faculty with disabilities

Over time and generally speaking, engineering faculty put moreeffort towards research, teaching, and service and played less of a role in enrollmentmanagement activities (such as call centers and visits to high schools). Eventually, engineeringfaculty were not involved in admission decisions, and the college’s enrollment managementoffice oversaw the entire admissions cycle. There was growing interest to broaden participationin engineering, but historical admissions data demonstrated that, despite efforts to diversify
