When planning the first-ever overnight engineering camp forhigh school girls hosted at Boise State University, the planning team decided to embracemarketing methods to create realistic images about engineering that are relevant to the lives ofgirls. The planning team represented a partnership among Micron Technology, the southwestIdaho Society of Women Engineers section, Boise public school staff, and Boise State Universityfaculty, staff and graduate students. The team defined four messages that formed the foundationfor curriculum development and communications with prospective participants: 1) Engineershelp the world; 2

Second, the linkage between goals and methods needs to be documented in order toprevent a gradual drift away from the goals as incremental changes are made to lesson plans. Atransparent methodology supports the process of collaboration as colleagues discuss courseobjectives and redesign lesson plans.

But knowledge of the process is essential for amanufacturing engineer and therefore should be taught to students in theundergraduate courses. Work holding is an important part in manufacturing planningand is readily affected by the manufacturing process chosen. It influences thematerial-form choice and the number of settings required. In order to educate thisimportant activity to the students an exercise that can demonstrate all these aspectswas needed.

The principle ofstages is needed to ensure that all four axes advance in a parallel, synchronized fashion thatavoids bottlenecks. Refinement is based on analysis of progress towards the next intermediate stage alongeach axis.

Hence, we put forth the idea of education for all at our engineering college as a means tocounter those biases and develop excellent engineers who can contribute to the solutions of oursociety’s big challenges. In our approach, five community teams were established to developproposed plans on DEI education, starting with a focus on race and ethnicity, for all students,faculty, and staff at the college. It was one of the most far-reaching DEI efforts at a college ofengineering. The plans were developed over one year, grounded in the literature around DEI andinput from our community.This lessons learned
