AB  - LGBTQ+ students face similar barriers to those that hinder women and students of color from persisting and thriving in engineering disciplines, such as gender-related microaggressions and an overall chilly climate. However, LGBTQ+ students are not thought of as underrepresented because few institutions, much less engineering departments, gather fully descriptive demographic data related to gender and sexual orientation. That is, LGBTQ+ students are not counted in the same way that students from various NSF-defined racial and ethnic categories are. This study addresses this lack of broad information by using climate survey data from one large, Midwestern, public university system in which detailed gender and sexual orientation data were gathered from respondents. In this sample, students in engineering disciplines were about half as likely to be LGBTQ+ as students in non-engineering disciplines. Based on the underrepresentation of LGBTQ+ students in engineering in this sample, future directions for broader population research as well as implications for equitable practices regarding LGBTQ+ students and colleagues are discussed.
