four engineering-intensive organizations, asking them to identify 3-4 senior engineers with a range of career pathswho had graduated prior to 1992. We also asked them to be mindful of demographic diversitywhere possible. The four organizations represented the following industries: Chemicalprocessing, manufacturing, consulting/mining, and software. To ensure the inclusion ofengineers who had followed less traditional paths, we also reached out to senior engineersemployed in public service, finance, university leadership and social impact enterprises. In theend, 28 senior engineers consented to participate. Despite our intention to diversify our sample

project that helped them with their presentation skills.We chose the project based on the students' background and passion and with having their degree,general engineering, in mind. Students at Cornell College are heavily involved in artistic andathletic activities. The students involved in this project had recently taken the engineering circuitscourse and have a musical knowledge background. The technical goal of the project was toconstruct a gesture-controlled piano that could recognize the distance from an object to the sensorand translate it into musical notes. The idea came from an open-source project designed by AndyGrove. The students built upon the open-source project and expand its capabilities. They addednew features to the initial

organizations, low levels ofretention and promotion of racial minorities and women in the workplace indicate a lack ofinclusion within workplace cultures (Cook & Glass, 2013; Giscombe & Mattis, 2002; Hom &Ellis, 2008). With this in mind, ABET’s approach to Criteria 3 specifically identifies the abilityto create inclusive environments in engineering teams. Creating these inclusive environments requires individuals to practice behaviors thatfoster individuals’ feelings of belonging. Shore, Randel, Chung, and Dean (2011) go one stepbeyond belongingness in their definition of inclusion to include “the degree to which anemployee perceives that he or she is an esteemed member of the work group throughexperiencing treatment that satisfies

Because best practices suggestlimiting course outcomes to six or under [7], [8] it is unrealistic to think that faculty canadequately assess all thirteen learning outcomes for engineering laboratories described in Table3. This report based on responses from faculty supports the notion that not all lab learningoutcomes are equally important and points towards candidates for a focused set of outcomes thatshould be more thoroughly assessed.
