Toimprove the DEI knowledge of educators, participants shared learning experiences includinginformal training events and reading groups and provided materials and time to colleagues toensure representation in course readings and presentations.Even though there have been efforts to improve DEI in engineering education [9], [14], theseefforts have mainly focused on student representation and retention. By also developingapproaches to educating students about the impacts of DEI on the engineering design process,students would become more aware of the potential impacts, whether positive or negative

; Considerations The E-CADEMY program, has shown promise in exposing diverse middle and highschool students to engineering careers and practices while increasing their interest andconfidence in pursuing engineering as a future profession. Given the age of the program, there isno data on success rate of students matriculating through higher education, although over half ofthe graduating seniors to date have chosen an engineering career path by applying to anengineering program at a post-secondary institution. Post-secondary data collection is a part offuture study plans. Key considerations from the first four years of this program include ensuring keypartnerships are established with organizations like the National Society of Black Engineering

The grant we got for the summerproject was for one year only, but we plan to seek additional funding from the TBR and othersources to continue the summer program in the coming years. This is to increase the sample sizeand better verify the true benefits of our program, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic.All participants of the summer program participated in the research activities remotely over theInternet.

As seen previously, the use of robotics was able to capture the attention of these studentsand enabled them to learn in a cooperative environment. Moreover, assessments suggested thatstudents with Down syndrome exhibited improvements in cognitive functions such as visuo-spatial working memory and mental planning after completing a robotics challenge [18].

Their responses were found to be generally simplistic, forexample, engineers were commonly depicted as workers who constructed buildings or repairedcar engines, though older participants more frequently mentioned engineering design tasks. Themost common stereotypical actions youth perceive engineers to do are to design, plan, and orperform physical labor. Common images included tools, cars and computers. Consistent findingswere reported by a number of subsequent investigations using similar data collection methods(e.g. [1], [9]–[12]). Further, youth displayed signs of

difference between asset mapping and needs assessment [22] is key todeveloping effective blended IASM and ABCD mapping projects for engineering education. Aneeds assessment conducted for engineering is normally limited to providing a technical solutionrooted in community needs as grasped by engineers. As such, needs assessments usuallyestablish the hierarchical mindset and encourage delivery of engineering solutions irrespective ofa community’s ability to sustain it after the intervention is completed. ABCD solutions, on theother hand, focus on incorporating the community’s context-specific strengths into theengineering plan. The resulting plan itself provides a roadmap for the community to sustain theintervention long after completion.Our work in
