Our working definition of situatedness includes the entire communicationcontext—for example, the intended audience(s), the purpose, and the conditions of use. The levelof complexity of the participants’ involvement with situatedness ranged from those whoacknowledged a basic concern for audience (all participants) to those who attended to the fullcommunication context.

In order to improve activities and diversity efforts, one needs togather information on the issues specific to their institution and be willing to discuss the pros andcons of certain situations or classroom techniques. Improvement can be initiated by firstadmitting the possibility that we, as faculty members, may inadvertently contribute to anunfriendly climate and we must study ways to promote a healthy, welcoming environment for allstudents.Developing a diverse engineering workforce is of utmost importance for
