From where we sit in 2018, wehave the opportunity to incorporate lessons learned from past efforts, to use the most effectivecurricula and pedagogy, and fight for the values we hold dear. The alt-right is trying to instillvalues of hate in our students, values that run contrary to those of our institutions and ourprofession. We need to band together and say Not in Our Town, Not on Our Campus. 20Review of Arguments for Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice in EngineeringAt their core, arguments supporting diversity, inclusion, and social justice are ethical arguments;they contain a moral “ought,” and articulate an aspirational state for which we strive. Somearguments are made from appeals to enduring principles like

Twenty years ago, Seymour andHewitt demonstrated that “switchers” and “non-switchers” had similar patterns on inadequatepreparation, work ethic, conceptual difficulty with course content, and GPA at the time ofswitching [32]. Ten years ago, the National Academy of Engineering report Changing theConversation identified the accepted representations of engineering by engineers as one of thereasons that diversifying the discipline has been a challenge [33].

I didn’t have the work [ethic] for it, for atleast, the scholarly work, in the books.” Realizing that he would not qualify for scholarships, he“needed a way to pay for college,” so he joined the military.The participants who joined the National Guard or Reserves after arriving at college indicatedthey primarily did so to pay for college.

opportunity for students toexperience how they can make a difference together through improvement of lives andcommunities (National Academy of Engineering [NAE], 2008). In most recent years, service-learning research is increasing as the number of highereducation institutions implementing new programs expands. One benefit of service-learning forstudents is the development of personal self-efficacy through community service (Reeb, Folger,Langsner, Ryan, & Crouse, 2010). Service-learning is significant as women in STEM majorsreported lower levels of leader efficacy than women in non-STEM majors (Dugan et al., 2013).Other researchers argue additional gains include social justice, ethics, and civility (Britt, 2012;Harkavy & Hartley, 2010

students were resentful and felt theyearned more scholarship or were only admitted because of their race or ethnicity. With respect to the overall academic experience, several students indicated that the schoolwas challenging; nonetheless, it is possible to get through with a strong work ethic and dedication.One reason this is possible is the strong connection between the students, faculty, and staff. Onestudent stated that they had been dismissed from the university twice due to academic issues butwas determined not to fail nor to return home. They were able to overcome these challenges withlong nights, working hard, prayer and speaking to professors and mentors. They understood thatthe overall goal was graduation even if the overall GPA

Achievements often translated in a rise in self-esteem, gainsin leadership skills through the form of contingency planning, or in the skepticism of anybenefits within a team structure.
