all participants were cognizant that diversity issues can be highlysensitive and chose their words carefully when discussing diversity issues. Some participants whowere comfortable with discussing diversity were surprised by the thoughts and opinions of theirpeers about diversity issues, and then reported being more mindful of voicing their thoughts andopinions with others based on this experience. Page 12.558.11Based on these findings, we have the following suggestions for engineering educators who want toconsider diversity issues in their teaching, and faculty developers who provide resources forhelping engineering educators consider

scientist, engineer, or poet is accomplishedthrough hands and minds on a task. Just think of the contrast between the activities ofapprentices in a workshop and the passivity of pupils in a lecture hall.If we refocus our efforts on learning, professors can exploit information technology toprovide data, scholarly references, and simulated problems for cognitive workshops. Inthose workspaces, student investigators will work side by side with faculty. Togetherthey will learn to create, evaluate, improve, and apply knowledge. Students will learn tobe experts and faculty will sharpen their expertise.There won’t be “a” talking head, but scads of conversations. There will be studentstearing into problems with all the vitality of youth. And there will be
