It was validating to be in a group with like-mindedindividuals who believed as engineers we are not excused from ethics and social issues, butrather need to be accountable for our language and actions that affect others that aren’t includedin the dominant narrative.While creating a space for open dialogues for underrepresented students, The EE diversityProject also provided space for community and inclusiveness. The organization has put onseveral events in hopes of creating community for other students, and to hopefully prevent thatsense of Isolation. Some of those events include a

Twenty years ago, Seymour andHewitt demonstrated that “switchers” and “non-switchers” had similar patterns on inadequatepreparation, work ethic, conceptual difficulty with course content, and GPA at the time ofswitching [32]. Ten years ago, the National Academy of Engineering report Changing theConversation identified the accepted representations of engineering by engineers as one of thereasons that diversifying the discipline has been a challenge [33]. Through explicit and implicitmessaging shared with students, such as engineering students study all the time or engineers lovemath and science, engineering faculty perpetuate

- Year Students as of 2009 The reasons for the low retention in the minority undergraduate students were identified in the literature as lack of academic preparedness, campus climate, lack of commitment to educational goals and the institution, problems in social and academic integration and the lack of financial support [5]. The authors’ institution, the only HBCU with the Water Resources Management and Environmental Engineering majors, has a professional and ethical obligation to change this situation by providing financial support and academic guidance through the faculty and peer mentorship to the African American students, especially the female students from the low-income families.

policies. Currently, the federal government is threatening to rescind theDeferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program. Consequently, at the time ofsubmission, there was more disagreement than consensus regarding DACA recipients andimmigration policies in general.This political climate is important because SCC is located in a state with a large population ofDACA recipients and a large population of immigrants. When creating the recruitment survey,our research group initially wanted to ask questions about US citizenship, but given the largeimmigrant population at our study site, ethics, and overall empathy, we decided not to includethis question on the survey. Additionally, we believe that this political climate might influencesome students

Someprograms also use these courses to foster engineering ethics, writing and communication skills,teamwork competencies, and to develop community and engineering identity within students toaid in retention of engineering students [11], [12]. In other words, first-year engineering designstudents are typically gaining other competencies beside academic objectives (the what part ofengineering) in addition to learning how competencies are enacted within the engineeringdiscipline.While all engineering programs may structure their first year and design experiences differently[11], engineering education and design literature concurs that the emphasis on authentic andexperiential

[7].Emotion has been taken out of engineering education, which in part drives the need to “re-humanize” engineering through multiple perspectives and diverse thought [8]. Dym et al., (2003)expand further by identifying the importance of reframing problems in engineering design. Byfocusing on the non-technical complexity of the problem, students learn not to oversimplifyproblems, but to design with social, ethical, and multi-disciplinary concerns in mind [8].Encouraging students to flex their creative skill within their respective classes, rather than solelythrough sparse elective requirements is vital to enhance their approach problems such that itincludes a multitude of perspectives. Framing a problem can often be the most difficult part
