attributed to the development of value systems andvery high ethical standards, teaching others to generate knowledge, and the use of creativity anddiverse backgrounds to bring “unique perspective[s]” to research problems. One engineerdescribed the need for diversity in engineering in order to innovate: “The advances come whenyou’re sort of looking at—you’re applying something new to a different area and you’re bringingin people who haven’t looked at it before.” Others refer to the importance of collaborations andcollaborative work in generating advances in technology, especially between different fields (ex.mechanical engineering and psychology to advance mental health technologies), collaborationsbetween university research facilities and industry

that the Broader Impacts criteria of NSF grants in theCAREER program require a teacher-training plan26. Wankat goes further and links engineeringfaculty training with whether the faculty have the qualifications necessary to perform their jobfunctions in teaching26. He cites the AIChE Code of Ethics, which states that “Members shall:Perform professional services only in areas of competence.” The question here is obvious: Is itethical for a chemical engineering faculty member who belongs to AIChE to teach if they are notcompetent in that area? Of course, the next question is: what defines competency in the area ofteaching? Is it competency in the material or competency in the material and the delivery of thematerial? The former has been the

Engineering Design Service Projects various Public Policy Professional Organizations various Ethical Responsibility Engineer Interactions various Lifelong Learning“Students-Teach-Students,” These lectures place responsibility on students to teach new coursematerial to their peers. Students are assigned a course topic, which necessitates considerablepreparation and understanding in order to teach their peers. Student presenters are encouraged toprovide handouts, notes, and/or PowerPoint presentations, plus use approaches to keep theirclassmates engaged. The professor is on-hand to assist students through lecture material, ifnecessary

quantitative thinking [22; 23; 24]. In light of the persistence of this issue, we argue that the engineering education community is 2 uncertain “about what matters”, both in the sense of why this problem matters (e.g. is diversity a question of equity and ethics? Or putting together a more diverse and thus competitive American workforce?) and how to address the problem (see discussion of polarization below).Polarization “[that which
