biometric testing togain insight and evidence into the biases that may exist among faculty and students engaging inengineering environments. Specifically, informed by literature on microaggressions and implicitbias, an eye-tracking paradigm is used to draw evidence on existing biases related to sexism,ageism, racism, ableism, and classism. In this study, when prompted, participants are asked toselect from a pool of options based on the information presented in a specific scenario. Duringthis selection, the participant's eye movements, specifically their fixation regions and times, arecollected to later correlate with their chosen selections. Preliminary findings from this studyfound individual specific implicit biases to exist. The insights of this
