. Research on gender in engineering has typically framed gender within a rigid,essentialized cisgender binary. Current literature is lacking detail on the processes used bygender diverse students in the transgender and gender nonconforming (TGNC) community asthey navigate the gendered engineering field. We wish to highlight the experiences thatundergraduate engineering students have had in relation to their social support and perceptions ofgender as it relates to engineering culture within their undergraduate programs. Two studentsparticipated in autoethnography as a method of data collection to meet this objective.Collaborative autoethnographic methods position the students as coauthors and coresearchers toensure the validity of analysis alongside

where we plan to start our efforts: academic success and preparation, feeling of inclusion, climate of success and enjoyment, and ability to make transitions. Early discussions are happening in the math department developing courses at the lower levels based on individual students demonstrating mastery of skills. This would promote necessary strong foundations in mathematics as well as added confidence to move forward in the engineering or computer science curriculum. We are also connecting with a university wide committee that is just beginning to look at what a summer bridge program might look like. Currently, that is not exclusively engineering related, but it is important for us to be part of that discussion and make sure there is a part
Paper ID #24991Black Men in the Making: Engaging in makerspaces promotes agency andidentity for Black males in engineeringMr. Michael Lorenzo Greene, Arizona State University, Polytechnic campus Michael Greene is a PhD Student in the Shifting Perceptions, Attitudes and Cultures (SPACE) Lab at Arizona State University. He is pursuing his degree in the Engineering Education Systems and Design program concurrently with a Master’s degree in Engineering. Michael received his B.S. in Mechanical en- gineering from the University of Pittsburgh in April 2018. His research interest lies in diversity, inclusion and K-12
inclusion in engineering and computer science, not as asimple topic or afterthought, but as central, pressing, and complex intellectual and politicalterrain (Secules, Sochacka, & Walther, 2018a; Zoltowski, Buzzanell, Brightman, Torres, &Eddington, 2017). Within our collective work, there are persistent challenges related to race andgender, where visible markers of representation in the disciplines are constant reminders of slowprogress and continuing challenges. There are also hidden (i.e., less- or non-apparent) identitiesthat are growing in attention and focus in scholarship and practice communities. New andimportant conversations that expand our concepts of diversity have emerged surrounding hiddenidentities such as LGBTQ, language
