The coursedevelopment was highly supported by the Dean of the School of Engineering (SoE), theEngineering Management, Systems and Technology Department chair, the EngineeringManagement Graduate program coordinator, the SoE’s Diversity and Inclusion program, and theother department chairs

. What are the barriers in the pathway for the diverse range of engineers within theprofession? Do they all define “success” in the same terms? How can the management of anengineering firm impact this with the goal to yield more recruitment and retention? In short, theSE3 report looks at a way we can broaden the impact of how engineers approach engineeringmanagement to include a consideration of diversity and inclusion, not merely because it is the“right” thing to do, but because the attraction and retention of a diverse work force allows us toemploy the best engineers from all backgrounds, leading to a more robust and talentedgeneration of engineers.History behind the report In 2016, the Structural Engineers Association of Northern

In some cases, the practices werefer to are extant in the education literature, but not ones that we have tried as yet; however, weplan to examine them in upcoming semesters and, possibly, incorporate them into our ownclassrooms. We also indicate how several of these practices help meet the requirements ofagencies that accredit engineering

best practices and beliefs about extrinsic motivation have been failing for decades --and that it is time for a new approach?2. High Employee Turnover (Employees move on for different reasons): With the absence of Deming's SoPK lens, high levels of turnover should be expected because employees are not engaged, nor really a part of the team. Research shows that high pressure tactics, used by some managers to demand or control certain behaviors of employees, increases the voluntary turnover [10]. Absence of Deming's Leadership approach means managers cannot really tap into the talents of people by setting up learning PDSAs. Lacking an understanding of the variation between people means that managers are taught to believe they can
