masculine culture may not functioneffectively in gender-diverse teams.17 These same factors are likely at play in limiting thediversity of engineering competition teams.Major technology and engineering based companies recognize diversity as beneficial and arecommitted to building a diverse workforce. To achieve those goals, many companies activelyidentify and recruit candidates with diverse backgrounds. For example, Boeing holds recruitmentactivities at minority serving institutions and advertises job opportunities through various media.ExxonMobil reaches out to potential candidates through outreach programs and companypartnerships with diversity organizations, such as the Hispanic Heritage Foundation and theNational Society of Black

engineeringthinking. The visual representation of physical ideas allows engineers to manipulate the ideasand meaningfully add increasing levels of detail. Consequently, facility in interpreting thesevisual communications is a fundamental skill for most engineers.Typical engineering documents are visual, however simply seeing the document is not enough tobe able to interpret, reason, and communicate with it. The engineer must be able to internalizethe information into a mental map of some sort and appropriately interpret the features.This case study examines how a blind mechanical engineering student was taught and learnedbasic concepts of engineering graphical representation. Assistive technologies replaced theubiquitous computer and paper visual interfaces

for the company to get involved with the engineering program. The connection wasinitiated immediately after its relocation in 2007. However, one critical factor for the sustainedpartnership is due to the commitment of the company’s technology leader, Dr. Sun, who was anengineering faculty and who believes that it is mutually beneficial to have a strong academia-industry collaborative program.Starting with Dr. Sun, several people from Turbocor’s leadership team got involved with theschool serving in advisory councils at university, college and department-levels. While servingas a MEAC member, Dr. Sun began to sponsor senior design projects immediately after therelocation. Since 2007 until this year, the company has sponsored a total of nine
