bachelor’s degrees in engineering has increased in the last decade;however, the growth has been slow, increasing from 17.8% in 2010 to 22.5% in 2019 [4].Additionally, the percentage of Blacks or African Americans earning bachelor’s degrees inengineering has remained around 4.2% since 2011. With women making up 50.8% of thepopulation and Blacks or African Americans making up 13.4% of the population [5], the severityof the underrepresentation is clear. Since it is not reasonable to expect to build demographicallydiverse teams, engineering educators must work to build capacity for diversity by cultivatinginclusive cultures and curricula [6], [7].Building inclusive classrooms is one component of building culture [8].

somewhat remarkably, there has been very littleinvestigation into the impact of these breaks on students. At the University of Waterloo, a two-day fall break, following the holiday Monday of Canadian thanksgiving (the second Monday inOctober) was added on a three-year trial starting in 2016, with the stated goal of helping studentmental health by allowing a time to catch up on classwork before the stressful midterm period.Fall break was extended to be a full week at UWaterloo beginning in fall 2019 on a three-yeartrial, based on the resounding positive response captured in institution-wide student surveys.In 2017, the authors noticed a reduction in midterm grades for specific populations of first-yearengineering students following the fall break
