GROW: An Equity-Minded Framework to Support the Integration of Equity and Inclusion in Learning2020 brought awareness to many issues surrounding equity and inclusion across the nation. In collegesand universities around the country, open forums on systemic racism and gender bias allowed newvoices to shine through and strategic plans on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to be reimagined. Acommon theme that has emerged from these discussions is the critical need to effectively integrateequity and inclusion into the teaching and learning environment. As equity-minded institutions, we havea responsibility to not only meet our students where they are at, but also our faculty. Thus, wedeveloped a framework that provides faculty with a self

Session 3170 Bridging the Diversity Gap: Fours Years of Success Luis Santos-Rivas, Dana Newell, Mary Anderson-Rowland, Ronald Roedel Arizona State UniversityAbstractSince 2000, the Minority Engineering Program (MEP) in the Ira A. Fulton School ofEngineering has held an incoming first year student Bridge program in July. Thisprogram has averaged a one-year retention rate of 80% or higher for the past four years.This paper will provide information on the Bridge program such as program componentsand activities.The MEP SUMMER BRIDGE PROGRAM (SBP) prepares underrepresented ethnicminority students for success in
institutions.Many of these challenges mirror issues of society-at-large but are sometimes overlooked byprofessionals who deal with these students. To facilitate a student’s personal journey toward enhanced development andtransformation, engineering professionals must keep in mind that many of the experiencesencountered by students create some cognitive dissonance and challenge thought patterns,behaviors, and self-identity. To respond more effectively to their needs, the professional focusmust support a student’s need for a sound identity and awareness of issues that might impacttheir academic performance. Some of their issues might include academic, economic,motivational, family background, societal, diversity, and values challenges. Although

Session 2261 The Role of the Humanities in Distinguishing Science from Engineering Design in the Minds of Engineering Students Charles C. Adams Dordt CollegeAbstractEngineering problems differ from scientific problems. Therefore the proper identification,formulation, and solving of engineering problems require an understanding of the distinctionbetween engineering and science. In this paper it is argued that the humanities and socialsciences (H&SS) play a major role both in the distinction between engineering and
Out of the Mix: Native Americans in Information Technology Roli Varma University of New MexicoThe number of Native Americans − the original peoples of the United States of America −pursuing education in information technology (IT) related disciplines is low. For instance, the1999-2000 Taulbee Survey found that Native Americans earned 31 (0%) of computer science(CS) and 4 (0%) of computer engineering (CE) bachelor degrees.4 Under-representation ofNative Americans in IT is critical for the American society, which promotes equal access toeducation and employment.
