bereferred to as general engineering (GE) seminar. This paper will provide reflections of paststudents who took the GE course series. It will also provide reflections of the three students whoare currently in the STEM Ed pilot version of the series.Overview of the Seminar CourseThe GE seminar course series is a set of three, one-credit-hour courses that all engineering Ph.D.students must take as part of their curriculum. This includes all of the engineering Ph.D.concentrations which are cyberspace engineering, engineering/STEM education, engineeringphysics, materials and infrastructure systems, and micro/nanoscale systems. The GE courserequires students to attend research seminars where topics are discussed that often do not relateto STEM

challenges, this study amplifies the clarioncall for fostering participation and inclusivity in engineering doctoral programs.IntroductionPromoting diversity within the engineering workforce is a critical national priority, underscoringthe need for broader participation and the cultivation of inclusivity [1]. The infusion of diversityinto the field of civil engineering in the United States yields numerous advantages, including amultifaceted project perspective, heightened project value, the enrichment of knowledge, talent,and ideas, access to expansive networks, and the production of superior final products necessaryfor global competitiveness in infrastructure [2]. Consequently, achieving this imperative requiresa comprehensive examination of the
