through boththe University-wide and CoE Strategic Plans. In The Pennsylvania State University 2020-2025Strategic Plan, the university’s goals related to equity, diversity, and inclusion include to “foster aculture of respect and inclusion that values the experiences and perspectives of faculty, staff, andstudents” [1]. In alignment with this, Goal 1 of the 2020-2025 CoE Strategic Plan is to “grow apervasive, welcoming, equitable and inclusive culture and climate throughout the College’sstudents, faculty and staff that exemplifies the Penn State values” [2]. As a foundation of this goal,the CoE developed the Equity Action Plan, which contains specific action items for engagingstakeholders in the equity action process, with the goal of deepening

Research, 1979) and the development of more recentethical norms, this research project has been reviewed and processed by the author’s institutionalreview board (IRB). The author’s plan for this research is to utilize a mixed methods surveyapproach. Survey research has a long history in the realm of human subject research and has arelatively mature methodology associated with it (see, e.g., Sapsford, 2007). Mixed methods research involves both qualitative and quantitative data collection andanalysis (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2018). The use of quantitative data analysis in engineeringwork is long and uncontroversial given engineering’s historical commitment to philosophicalprinciples of post-positivism. More noteworthy is the use of

The lack of a diverse workforce in these utilities is also of concern[1] - [3]. Therefore, the overall goal of the WaterWorks project is to aid in supplementing theneed for a diverse workforce for wastewater/drinking water utilities as the current workforce isreaching

at least they have a limitedunderstanding) what surveying engineering is. This has created enrollment challenges in manysurveying programs e.g., [4], [12], [27], [28]. It is worth mentioning that some surveyingprograms (undergraduate and/or graduate) that have developed online programs haveexperienced great success [29]-[31]. In our previous work we surveyed current students andalumni, focusing on the reasons why they selected surveying as a career and how they learnedabout surveying [12]. While the survey provided many insights that are useful in refining ourrecruitment plans, current surveying students and alumni provide half of the picture, becausethey have already selected surveying as a career. They were able to learn about surveying

The methods by which the solution was developed and those to evaluatethe efficacy are described, followed by the observed results and discussion, and finally someconcluding remarks and future plans for this potential solution.Methods: As part of Penn State College of Engineering Leonhard Center-led EntrepreneurialMindset for Innovative Teaching (EMIT) Academy, I developed a potential solution to the issueand piloted it in my Fall 2022 Multidisciplinary Capstone course.

It will be important for the instructorand ICC to present themselves as a team.With an increasing population of students in our program who are underrepresented in theengineering field, it is recommended that significant impact can be made by recruiting an ICCwho has experience in supporting underrepresented students in STEM areas.ICC Role in the Classroom The logistics of the freshman circuits course, as well as alltechnical courses in our program, are favorable to having an effective ICC.
