The paper also stateshow this could be modified for any undergraduate program. IntroductionEngineers play an essential and unique position in the society as their influence over resources willhave long-term consequences on the communities they service. They are uniquely placed toaddress systemic obstacles, but to do so, they need to have a nuanced grasp of social aspects. Toaccomplish this, engineering education must include topics that investigate equality, diversity, andinclusion. (EDI). Students will be able to gain a grasp of how their
