The purpose of this paper is to share how a structural mentoring hub for BIPOCxcontingent faculty in engineering was conceived and designed. While the mentoring hub is yet tobegin, the authors believe that sharing their conception process, that led to an NSF-funded project,can better support others to create similar types of initiatives at their home institutions.

Education, 2023 Workshop on Global Engineering Design for Low-Resource SettingsBackgroundGlobal engineering is becoming more prevalent as technology increases communication andcollaboration worldwide [1]. To keep up with the ever-evolving society, global engineers mustwork on cross-cutting issues and bring a diverse mindset to work nimbly across differentenvironments with changing resources [1,2]. This adaptability requires being comfortable withdesign skills and being open to new ideas and international relations [3]. The design process iscrucial for students to experience and understand how to meet a population’s needs and iteratethrough feasible and culturally appropriate solutions.Undergraduate engineering curricula have significantly

Introduction Globalization has increased the importance of foreign markets and internationalcommerce making the American workforce more globally interdependent. This has necessitatedthat engineers of today work in collaborative environments to solve problems in global contexts.Undergraduate engineering education needs to focus on training engineers who can work ineffective teams whose members are diverse in geographic location, origin, skills, and culture [1],[2], [3], [4].

Innovative design is iterative, requiring continuous learning and improvementas well as consistent effort after setbacks without succumbing to self-doubt, which are thehallmarks of a growth mindset. Interestingly, the standard chemical engineering curriculum, ingeneral, does not have any built-in initiatives to develop a growth mindset in undergraduatestudents. Therefore, we decided to address this gap as part of curriculum improvement in theDepartment of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering (ChemBE) at Johns Hopkins University.
