AbstractThe IDEA Engineering Student Center at the University of California San Diego’s Jacobs Schoolof Engineering was established in 2010 to focus on engineering student diversity and inclusioninitiatives following a series of racially charged incidents affecting our campus’ Black students.From its inception, the IDEA Center aimed to focus on 1) outreach, 2) recruitment and yield, 3)academic success and enrichment, and 4) retention and graduation for underrepresented minority(URM) students. Through the lens of nonprofit organizational lifecycles, the IDEA Centertransitioned from Idea to Start-up to Growth
inengineering education must replace problem sets with question sets.” Failure – or refusal – to sotransform risked engineering educators and their alumni “acced[ing] to the longevity of feignedinnocence” all too familiar in their ancestral line.The myth of objective, neutral “rigor” in engineering education [23] is linked to the myth of themasculine, white engineer who built America [24]. Both have contributed to engineering’sexclusivity and tendency to marginalize those who challenge the myths. As Shaun Harperwarned, an education that avoids engaging with social context and, for example, conversationsabout race, risks graduating “accidental racists” [25, 26]. Amy Slaton has examined how specific“conceptions of engineering talent and rigor” have

The majority of these interactionstypically take place in the classroom, but also happen during office hours and extracurricular ac-tivities.Office hours provide a valuable opportunity for students to ask questions, obtain help for theirspecific situation, get mentoring, and engage with course content with an expert. This activeinteraction with a faculty member can provide valuable learning for students, and previous studieshave found that office hours can improve student course performance. A study by Guerrero andRod found that for each office hour attended students saw a 0.77% increase in their grade evencorrecting for overall GPA, gender, race, and family income [3]. A study
