FacultyAbstractThe past decade has witnessed increasing interest in attracting and retaining a more diverseworkforce in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, includingexpanding the participation of women and racial-ethnic minorities and, in fewer cases, to peoplewith disabilities. Despite the availability of a rich collection of published research on womenfaculty that has increasingly used an intersectional lens, these conversations rarely meaningfullyaddress strategies to make faculty careers more welcoming and accessible to women withdisabilities. Further, as the professoriate ages, there will be an increasing number of faculty withdisabilities, and the pandemic has a disproportionate impact on many faculty with disabilities

We are failing to bring enoughstudents to full fluency with the concepts that underpin many of the technical ideas thatengineers use to solve problems. Furthermore, there is a growing concern that the pedagogyneither embraces current technology—both in teaching and in professional application—nor doesit adequately embrace what is now known about how people learn [7] – [9].The foundational mechanics courses are generally taken by engineering
