increase engagement in science, technology, engineering, and math(STEM). Recent studies have made significant advances in unveiling LGBTQ+ inequities andmarginalization in STEM, such as disparate retention rates in STEM educational programs [1] andprofessional devaluation [2]. These emerging studies suggest that the LGBTQ+ community ismarginalized and that the LGBTQ+ community should be included in efforts to broaden participation inSTEM.Suitably, the number of grants awarded to study and support the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender,and queer (LGBTQ+) community in STEM fields has grown over the past few decades. For example, in2020, the NSF awarded the first-ever CAREER grant that explicitly included the acronym “LGBTQ” in theproposal title

Laboratories in Albuquerque, NM. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Low-Cost Satellite Attitude Hardware Test BedAbstractRecent technological developments surrounding CubeSats and Commercial Off-The-Shelf spacehardware have drastically reduced the cost of producing and flying a satellite mission. As thebarriers to entry fall, space missions become a viable option for more students and researchgroups. Many of these missions require accurate spacecraft pointing and attitude control.Consequently, exposing students to the practical elements of spacecraft attitude sensing andcontrol is more important than ever. To help address this challenge a novel low-cost test-bed forattitude control has

considered strong enough tocapture the vision in the Libraries’ strategic plan. The lab was envisioned as a space withrelevant, current technologies, to ignite creativity in anyone who was a part of the UTAcommunity. Additionally, the opportunity to be one of the MIT-affiliated FabLabs, was seen asnot only good for enhancing students’ experience, but also as a great marketing tool for theuniversity. In short, the Libraries administration decided to build a FabLab because FabLabshave the technology and the educational focus that makerspaces do not.Although such labs are generally associated with Engineering, the Libraries’ leadership decidedthat the vision would be expanded beyond the normal STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering,Mathematics

criticisms are voiced in meetings of collegeindustrial advisory boards, industry partners and alumni established in their discipline. In aneffort to address this, the Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) Department ofYoungstown State University initiated a joint pedagogical experiment with the Department ofFine and Performing Arts (F&PA) at Youngstown State University. The goal of the experimentwas two-fold – to expose the engineer to an ‘out-of-the-box’ thinking environment and toestablish a means where effective communication with non-technical personnel was required.The experiment was jointly developed between the departments so that the students from bothdepartments would work towards their own pedagogical objectives.

Theresults obtained by reviewing these lessons indicate that 59, 62, 66, and 78% of STEP lessonsanalyzed contain components of mathematics, engineering, technology, and science, respectively(see Table 1). Interestingly, 97% of lessons at least partially contain components from at leastthree of these disciplines. When evaluating lessons that definitely contain elements from,science, technology, engineering, and/or math, 82% contain content from at least two of thesefour STEM areas, suggesting a trend that STEP lessons are interdisciplinary.More than 97% of lessons address or partially address the use of multiple learning styles, andmore than 93% of STEP lessons contain a real-world application.

When asked if the assignment would resonatewith them after graduating, they all said ‘yes’, and thus they would take theenvironmental effects as a factor when making engineering decision.1.
