introduces students to the notion of inclusion and equity inengineering and has them reflect on the importance of these elements to their development, bothas students and professional engineers. By building awareness of inclusion, equity, andprofessionalism early in students’ academic career, the authors aim to create more inclusive andequitable learning environments that lead to a more diverse engineering student body andultimately, engineering workforce, by increasing student sense of belonging. This paper includesa detailed description of the orientation session, a summary of student feedback, and a discussionon how the orientation has been adapted for online participation.Introduction & BackgroundImpact of Freshman Orientation

, engineering has a diversity problem in terms of who is in the workforce andwhose voices are being heard at the engineering table. Because of the largely homogeneousengineering population, the designs the field produces also fail to reflect a wide range of culturaland linguistic competencies. When not confronted with diversity, the training of engineers tendsto leave out broader social issues [5], [6], [7], [8]. And to be clear, these issues are not simplymatters of social justice; researchers have argued that the inclusion of traditionallyunderrepresented voices and the development of sociocultural competency in engineering is aneconomic and national security imperative [1].The importance of considering various perspectives and broadening

For example, I start every class by playing music from a playlist that contains all thestudents’ favorite songs and we promote discussions around that. I try to incorporate as much oftheir experiences as I can and to demonstrate that there are no good or bad examples, there arejust different examples.I think it is also important to help students learn how their own development of racialconsciousness is linked to mastery of professional competency. For example, if they weredesigning cars, I ask them to think about what problems they will face if they design the car forpeople that are exactly like them.All these practices also demand for me to work on myself.

without implicitly placing theonus for change on students” [8, p. 576]. A focus on student success within institutions thatweren’t built with them in mind is important for reframing the narrative regarding “achievementgaps,” but this theory can also be helpful for illuminating misalignment between assets possessedby students from groups systemically marginalized in STEM fields and the capital valued byacademic institutions. In doing so, we can identify levers for institutional transformation thatcould help elevate the value of community cultural wealth beyond counterspaces/ethnic enclaveswithin the university setting.By identifying areas of misalignment between student assets and institutional values reflected inpolicies, we can illustrate the

AbstractIn this research paper, we explore student responses to Utility Value Interventions in staticscourses. Introductory engineering mechanics courses (e.g., statics, dynamics) are critical pointswithin a curriculum, and student performance in these courses can have a strong influence onfuture success. And while these courses are often thought of as “weed out” courses, the ubiquityof these courses for engineers is what makes them an important place for students to develop themotivation to persist through their engineering education. One particularly promising tool for thisdevelopment has been Utility Value Interventions (UVIs) in which students are given opportunitiesto reflect on how their coursework aligns with their lives through short writing
