Research summary
AI-generated

Héctor Rodríguez-Simmonds studies engineering education, focusing on the experiences of underrepresented and marginalized practitioners and students in engineering, including those who are LGBTQ+ or neurodivergent (e.g., ADHD). Recent work uses qualitative and autoethnographic methods (researchers reflecting on and analyzing their own lived experiences) to document and counter deficit-based narratives about who belongs in engineering. This research aims to broaden understanding of diversity, identity, and inclusion within engineering education and the engineering workforce.
