: “The steady integration of technology in our public infrastructures and lives will call for more involvement by engineers in the setting of public policy and in participation in the civic arena” (pg. 4). I can tell that NAE is describing engineers as possessing technical knowledge that isbecoming increasingly intertwined with society. This seems logical and is somewhat on trackwith my current perceptions of technological growth. As technology makes its way into morefacets of daily life, engineers should naturally be expected to engage deeper with society becausethey have the knowledge and responsibility to create and implement technological solutions. Then my thoughts shift to a place of self-reflection: As of now, I

qualitative interview datawith individual faculty, which constitutes a fruitful avenue for future research.Nevertheless, some generalizations can be made based on the data at hand. First, there is noevidence of stand-alone civil engineering courses being offered on accessibility. A scan ofuniversity-level information and communication technology programs similarly found anabsence of separate courses dedicated to accessibility, which the authors concluded indicated alack of faculty interest, student interest, or perceived need for expertise on the topic [11]. Giventhe amount of coursework required in typical civil engineering undergraduate programs, theabsence of individual courses is not surprising. Both students and faculty are often resistant

Diversity in organizations has been shown toincrease innovation and financial returns (Hunt, Layton, and Prince, 2015). There is anopportunity to change representation of these groups in STEM-related agriculture, as highereducation programs are predicted to have half of their graduates in science and engineering fieldsof agriculture be female (Goecker, et. al., 2015). Minority groups are also rising in populationlevels rapidly. In Nebraska, the Hispanic population is projected to double by 2050 (Linares andDrozd, 2013) and there will be more people from this group seeking higher education andemployment opportunities. However, there is a projected shortage of

are almost twice aslikely to drop out of high school as their peers [1]. The lack of high school graduation for thesestudents can be attributed to several factors such as school engagement, home and classroomenvironment, social and peer pressures, and academic problems [2]. Additionally, minority studentsand women who persevere in high school and elect to attend a college or university may selectScience, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) majors; however, they tend to choosefields such as life and health sciences. The underrepresentation of women in engineering and earthsciences is chronically low at 20% and 40% of these majors, respectively. Black and Hispanic/Latinxstudents’ representation is less than half of what would be
with disabilities in engineering. I join the call for greaterattention to the cultural and structural barriers to full participation evidenced by this and otherresearch.IntroductionEngineering education and engineering work that does not include robust representation from thevery publics it purports to serve is both inherently exclusionary and intellectually and creativelyimpoverished [1-3]. For decades, social scientists and engineering education scholars havedocumented the under-representation of women and people of color in science, technology,engineering, and math-related fields, and, more recent work has extended that investigation toinclude sexual and gender minorities [e.g., 4-7, 20]. However, the experiences and voices ofpersons with
science aims to more deeply connect engineering design and practice with science conceptsusing inquiry-based methods. The framework relates science to students’ everyday lives, ensuresstudents learn about being careful consumers of scientific and technological information, andprepares them with the skills to enter careers in science, engineering, andtechnology. Curriculum must harmoniously integrate the three dimensions of science learninghighlighted by NGSS: core ideas, science and engineering practices, and cross-cutting concepts.While the core ideas are similar to past standards, the emphasis on students’ understanding of theapproach and methods employed by engineers and scientists, and the demand that engineeringand technology be integrated

However, despite this increasedexposure and a diverse understanding, students from diverse backgrounds (e.g.,racially/ethnically diverse and women) still pursue
