andinformal methods to revise curricula that focuses on the professional formation of engineers(Downey, 2014). One area of competence where students might benefit substantially pertains totheir development of what administrators refer to as “professional” skills. This sentiment is alsoendorsed by a variety of corporate stakeholders across the engineering industry. For example,Dianne Chong, vice president of engineering, operations, and technology at the BoeingCompany, expressed that while “most schools are doing an excellent job producing the technicalskills that we need… employers want more than that” (Benderly, 2015). Therefore, our goal is tohelp students develop these additional skills desired by employers.In addition to the work already being

that Hispanic students in our study were more likely to give thehighest rating to their facilitators for showing concern, dividing time equitably, and providingmentorship. On the other hand, Asian students were much less likely to give the highest ratingfor each of those questions. Additionally, we did not find a statistically significant effect whenexamining the intersection of facilitator and student racial and gender identities on sense ofbelonging. Overall, emergent patterns from this paper show that we have made great progresstowards creating inclusive learning communities that support all students across genders andethnicities.IntroductionDespite the high rate of growth in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)jobs and

the world. Developments overthe past decade have focused on sustainable long-distance aviation technologies, urban airmobility, low-cost access to space, and the commercialization of human spaceflight, to name buta few. These and other projects continue to demand talented engineers to support their researchand development. The NSF REDO-E grant supporting this study identifies several ways in whichdiversity in engineering consistently yields improvements across many facets of the discipline.Groups with higher diversity consistently demonstrate improved overall performance [1] as wellas improved understanding of relevant subject matter [2]. Such groups are also more adept atmaking ethical decisions [3], which is of especially critical
