improve the field’s diversity, adaptability, and competitiveness, the Year of Impact on Racial Equity is focused on creating organizational change to address the culture, policies, and racial and ethnic representation within engineering student organizations, colleges of engineering, and pre-college outreach efforts. These 12 months will move us beyond action to focus on the impact of the actions we take. We expect that actions in these domains will result in three concrete forms of impact: (1) empowered engineering student organizations, which will make engineering education more inclusive at the level of peer-to-peer interactions; (2) actionable organizational policies and effective practices

The findings demonstrated that the participants perceived the workshop asvaluable and enabled them to see how computing can be a medium to solve problems of humaninterest as well as a tool of self-expression. In particular, participants reported that the empatheticassistance given by the peer mentors made the learning process smoother, thus making itinspiring, engaging, and less intimidating. Going forward, more experiments and fine-tuning areneeded to continue to scale and improve the Guild.

Research has shown that implementing DLI inother subjects, such as history, has led to students showing greater mastery of historical thinking,increased ability to transfer historical knowledge to other contexts, and improved readingcomprehension compared to peers that did not receive DLI [5], cf. [6], [7]. Similar studies havebeen conducted in science [8].Research on disciplinary literacy suggests that use of DLI in engineering may increase students’abilities to engage in engineering thinking as well as lessen literacy-based barriers that preventwomen and underrepresented students from pursuing STEM pathways. To accomplish this goal,a robust model of DLI in engineering must be developed and disseminated into K-16 classroompractice.BackgroundThis
