and how classroom and institutionaldesign can mitigate the effects.1 IntroductionThere is a growing call to diversify the pipeline of engineering students to meet the need oftechnological development and to advance equity in Science, Technology, Engineering, andMath (STEM). To achieve this goal, academic institutions are looking introspectively tounderstand how their campus environments are designed to foster student success and equity.This work seeks to identify gaps in engineering student success through a ten-year study ofacademic performance correlated to student identity and course attributes.The work of Tinto [1], [2] has been built upon to show that a students’ sense of belonging isrelated to their propensity to persist in higher

relevant due to thepersistence of the field’s domination by men and masculinity. Mainstream discourseon gender in STEM, however, has been kept in a “black box” for decades according toAllison Phipps [1]. She states that the reliance on a simplistic gender binaryunaccompanied by racial, cultural, or sexual identity nuances may be undermining itsown political aims of gender equity. One large gap in our existing body of genderresearch and discourse is how the highly gendered landscape of engineeringeducation is experienced by those who are transgender or gender nonconforming(TGNC).[1] A.

One area of competence where students might benefit substantially pertains totheir development of what administrators refer to as “professional” skills. This sentiment is alsoendorsed by a variety of corporate stakeholders across the engineering industry. For example,Dianne Chong, vice president of engineering, operations, and technology at the BoeingCompany, expressed that while “most schools are doing an excellent job producing the technicalskills that we need… employers want more than that” (Benderly, 2015). Therefore, our goal is tohelp students develop these additional skills desired by employers.In addition to the work already being
