Paper ID #24874Exploring Narratives of LGBTQ Student Veterans in EngineeringDr. Susan M Lord, University of San Diego Susan M. Lord received a B.S. from Cornell University and the M.S. and Ph.D. from Stanford Univer- sity. She is currently Professor and Chair of Integrated Engineering at the University of San Diego. Her teaching and research interests include inclusive pedagogies, electronics, optoelectronics, materials sci- ence, first year engineering courses, feminist and liberative pedagogies, engineering student persistence, and student autonomy. Her research has been sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF
for Enhancement of Engineering Diversity and an advisor for international senior design projects in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Ash- ley received her MS in Mechanical Engineering, MPH in Public Health Education, and BS in Mechanical Engineering from Virginia Tech. Her research interests include access to higher education, broadening participation in engineering, the integration of engineering education and international development, and building capacity in low and middle income countries through inclusive technical education.Teirra K Holloman, Virginia Tech Department of Engineering Education Teirra Holloman is a doctoral student in engineering education at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State
Research (CLUSTER). In her research, she is interested in understanding how engineering students develop their professional identity, the role of emo- tion in student learning, and synergistic learning. A recent research project uncovers the narratives of exemplary engineering faculty who have successfully transitioned to student-centered teaching strategies. She co-designed the environmental engineering synthesis and design studios and the design spine for the mechanical engineering program at UGA. She is engaged in mentoring early career faculty at her univer- sity and within the PEER National Collaborative. In 2013 she was selected to be a National Academy of Engineering Frontiers of Engineering Education Faculty

In her position, she provides several different outreach programming events to engage K-12 female students to pursue STEM majors and/or careers. Dr. Rigden holds a B.A. in Liberal Studies from Cal Poly Pomona, a TESOL certificate, a M.A. in Teaching with a multiple-subject
Paper ID #24789Dilemmas in Co-Curricular Support: A Theoretical and Pragmatic Discus-sion on Current Practice and Future ChallengesDr. Stephen Secules, Purdue University-Main Campus, West Lafayette (College of Engineering) Stephen is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the School of Engineering Education at Purdue. He has a prior academic and professional background in engineering, having worked professionally as an acousti- cal engineer. His research focuses on equity and inclusion in undergraduate engineering education. He uses critical qualitative and ethnographic methodologies to investigate and improve engineering class
- hancement of Teaching and Learning (CETL) and three years as a faculty member at Olin College of En- gineering in Massachusetts. Alexandra’s research aims to improve the design of educational experiences for students by critically examining the work and learning environments of practitioners. Specifically, she focuses on (1) how to design and change educational and work systems through studies of practicing engineers and educators and (2) how to help students transition into, through and out of educational and work systems.Dr. Walter C. Lee, Virginia Tech Dr. Walter Lee is an assistant professor in the Department of Engineering Education and the assistant director for research in the Center for the Enhancement of
