/ anthropological researcher focused on equity in engineering, but a combination of showing up in a PhD and taking teaching roles, observing educational culture, and reading what the literature said and didn’t say about these topics, cemented this focus for me. I’d say stay open to those types of surprises in the first year or so of the PhD and you’ll make sure you can align your research areas with passion areas that connect to important topics for the field.9“Don’t compare yourself to colleagues / See your colleagues as allies not enemies.” This one is hard for me, I think I suffer from a tendency to compare myself, for a sense of peace of mind that I am doing ok (but “ok” tends to mean better than others).

activities. Some students were more interested in technical activities while otherstudents were more interested in professional activities. All students accepted that both areaswere important. The majority of students were intending to major in Electrical Engineering andComputer Engineering, yet the program was inclusive and involved students intending to majorin Mechanical Engineering, Biology, Physics, Chemical Engineering, Kinesiology, and others.Although possibly looking at different career fields with their majors in mind, these studentshave strong desires to better prepare themselves for applying, interviewing, and experiencing aninternship. Many students had not had an internship before and many have not even had theconfidence to apply.The

The need for global minded engineers isevident as industries have seized on globalization opportunities and it is now the norm to haveteams working across the globe. It is important for workforce development but also for humandevelopment that students learn to work on engineering project that are international and thatengineering programs
facilitate and promote aninclusive atmosphere, faculty can also start with a small but impactful step- the act of activelylistening and thus validating students’ experience with an open mind [10].Story 3: ‘School above anything else’: The Human Aspect of InclusionWhen we asked Alice to describe engineering educational culture in general, she described theclassroom as having limited “robot-like” or impersonal interactions between students andfaculty. On the contrary, when asked to identify an aspect of the engineering college that wasinclusive, Alice drew a blank for a moment, then placed the students in extra-curricular studentorganizations as a bright spot for inclusion. The engineering classroom itself and her interactionswith professors were
