of changein the development of engineering education (EE). This event is subsequently followed by theannual congress of WEEF (World Engineering Education Forum), which is organized by IFEES(International Federation of Engineering Education Societies) and other partner organizations.Apart from the GSF, our principal event, we organize forums on national levels, such as theIndian Student Forum (ISF) or the Argentinian Student Forum (ASF), as well as regionalworkshops on an annual or provisional basis.The goal behind our work as a students’ organization is to connect like-minded people andstudent leaders who are eager to implement changes to their EE environment. These studentsmay also be interested in sharing opinions and co-constructing

our overall goal for the session was to initialize a globalcollaboration to advance diversity and inclusion in engineering education, it was crucial that ouraudience be empowered to continue these conversations following the session. This trainingconsisted of two parts: 1) a definition of biases, explicit and implicit, including examples ofconsequences of implicit biases within a variety of contexts and 2) an interactive activity throughan anonymous PollEveryWhere.com survey in which audience members shared their experienceswith implicit bias within engineering spaces.In part one of the training, we defined bias as habits of mind--preferences, inclinations, orpatterns of thought. Biases play a pivotal role in shaping how we navigate judgments

comparison for project-minded professionals. Both groupsshould have very similar attitudes as expected. However significant and interestingdifferences have been found and are discussed in the paper.A strikingly higher emotional discomfort level was found in Indian male participants for crosscultural diversity. In addition this study studied the differences between male and femaleresponses across cultures. Finally the results of these two studies were compared to the resultsof surveys with engineering students from U.S.A., Germany, Poland and Russia fromprevious cross cultural diversity studies conducted by the authors.BackgroundIn the age of global grand challenges, engineers are likely to work in international teams so asto find good opportunities
