The forum focused on the purpose and aims of the GE program and its alignment with theexpectations and needs of the degree-granting engineering departments.

The questionsalso covered the participants’ current school level, prior experience with computer programming,their planned major in college, and career interests and preferences. From the onset of the programto the focus group (refer to the timeline of activities in Figure 1), two years have elapsed, makingthis a two-year impact study.

For example, for a lesson focused on idea generation activities,prompts in the engineer notebook included the question “What parts of today's lesson helped yougenerate ideas? What worked for you? What didn't work?”The curriculum employed a backwards design approach [15], planning each lesson to align withthe final summative assessment so that students build the necessary knowledge and skills tosucceed at this final performance task.

DEI in engineering has shifted from focusing on individuals’needs to prioritizing systemic and cultural changes [3]. Despite numerous initiatives and fundingopportunities, systemic change remains elusive, often hindered by entrenched barriers withininstitutional structures and cultures, and may face challenges in the execution andimplementation of planned interventions.To better understand the obstacles to systemic change, this case study examines theimplementation of a multi-campus systemic change initiative undertaken by four California StateUniversity campuses (Fresno State, Cal Poly SLO, San Jose State University (SJSU), and CalState LA) titled ‘Kindling Inter-university Networks for Diverse Engineering FacultyAdvancement (KIND) [4].
