classrooms which are focused on student team dynamics are well documented [3], [9][10], [11]. However, it is critical to provide guidance on the value and importance of leveragingthe benefits of diverse teams [12]. When the benefits of diverse teams are not pointedlyaddressed, the effectiveness of a diverse team can be diminished. One prime example of this isinequitable distribution of work and tasks due to gender bias [9], [10], [12],Similar to [12], this work focuses on the integration of activities designed to help students see thevalue and importance of diverse perspectives in engineering design.

From the very conception of the engineering collegiateculture in 1862, minoritized groups have been ostracized and unwelcomed. Engineering as amajor was not created with Communities of Color in mind.
