RQ1A will be the focus of this paper.II. MethodsA qualitative method approach is required as there has been relatively little research examiningthe experiences of people navigating engineering environments as it relates to faculty interactionwith marginalized students and their perceptions of these groups. The scenarios, derived from theliterature review and data from focus groups interviews, addresses issues such as ableism, genderstereotypes, homophobia, racism, etc., and presents experiences shared by multiple people to 5represent common encounters to specific groups in engineering rather than unique individualexperiences that may more likely

resurging interest in the presence and impact of implicit bias in both formal andinformal engineering environments. Implicit bias refers to the unconscious associations andstereotypes an individual ascribes based on affiliation with a particular identity that impactsattitudes, actions, and behaviors. Though individuals may hold egalitarian views, they can stillact in ways that reflect an implicit bias that is incongruent with their greater beliefs and/orintentions. While literature and tests on implicit bias exist, to our knowledge, a method tospecifically gauge biases that exist in the perceptions and dynamics relating to engineeringenvironments, more directly, does not.This study introduces a novel mixed-methods approach that incorporates
