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
