Islanders.Our vision of a fully inclusive program includes students, faculty, and staff from all backgroundsfeeling comfortable and fully engaged in the educational process and having equal opportunitiesto be successful. We would like to see improvement in the recruitment and retention of the bestand brightest minds, regardless of sex, ethnic background, or sexual orientation, in our studentand faculty bodies. We envision a learning community that demonstrates its culture of inclusionthrough (i) providing training to the student body in cognitive empathy to foster a more inclusive learning environment (ii) encouraging more engaged participation from female and underrepresented students and faculty on extracurricular engineering

Danielle (Class A) summed up the HCD orientation of theprogram that emerged throughout many of the students’ descriptions of their everyday work onthese teams: That’s the thing that I really enjoy about [this program], is the human-centered design aspect and always keeping the stakeholders in mind, kind of drilling that into our heads

EngineeringContrary to hypothesis 1e, there was no clear increase in the number of students who planned topursue MS or PhD programs in engineering. However, there were changes in students’ planswith some students initially planning to pursue an MS or PhD who changed their minds afterparticipating in the program, and others who initially did not plan to pursue an MS or PhDprogram changing their plans to pursue a higher degree in engineering. There also was variabilityin students’ plans to pursue education and training in engineering labs after the program (seeTable 4).Consistent with the quantitative findings, the interview data indicated students did not change,but rather solidified their engineering education plans after participating in the IRES program(70

Reference chart below. As can be seen, both men and women show equalpay upon entering the profession. As years of experience grow, the pay gap tends to widen, withmen earning more than women. However, survey evaluators found that at all levels except forPrincipal, the gap is not statistically significant and can be explained by secondary factors. Thereport gives
