In academics, women and other minorities areunderrepresented and attain tenure and other faculty positions at lower volumes and rates [8].Women in undergraduate engineering programs describe feelings of not belonging based onexperiences of microaggressions in the environment [9]. These are just a few examples of whenunconscious bias can have a negative and lasting impact.More than merely reducing the negative impacts, mitigating unconscious bias can have positiveimpacts on engineering. Reducing implicit biases in hiring increases diversity in staff and teamdevelopment. Diverse teams create better products to address broader customer needs [10

What’s Next? From Analysis to ActionAbstractThis paper describes how data-driven examination of barriers to successful completion ofundergraduate engineering degrees amongst female-identifying and under-represented minority(URM) students at Seattle University has shaped the development of new policies and programswithin the College of Science and Engineering to better support students from underrepresentedor marginalized groups. This study is a continuation of a project in which we first analyzedgraduation data to extract characteristics that differentiate students who do or do not successfullycomplete degrees within engineering. We followed the data analysis with a survey to betterunderstand the experiences of students from underrepresented or

The misalignment of skill deficits related to communication between whenstudents enter and leave engineering programs has led many engineering programs to take action.Many universities have introduced assignments and projects focused on technicalcommunication skills into courses across engineering curricula (e.g. [16], [17], [18]). Many FYEprograms have taken an active role in working to improve students’ technical communication -and
