While the proposed projects could be grand in vision, the DEI Task Forcemembers selected projects that could first be implemented at a smaller scale in the mechanicalengineering department.Projects were also selected in part based on their ability to create systemic change in thedepartment, rather than activities relying solely on the DEI Task Force itself. The overarchinggoal is for projects to become self

Goldman & Coussensfurther asserted that a CBPR strategy emphasizes respectful co-learning and empowering partnershipsamong researchers, practitioners, and communities. Partnerships can be strengthened by the jointdevelopment of research agreements regarding design, implementation, analysis, and dissemination ofthe results.Benefits of CBRP with unique considerations for communities:Many times, the concerns or needs of underserved/vulnerable populations often are not sufficientlyconsidered during the planning, implementation or recovery phases. CBPR provides them anopportunity for their voices to be heard and provides them a chance to give their opinions, thoughts, etc.about

The activity instructions andsupplementary materials are housed on a website so that they can be freely accessed and used byanyone wishing to engage in engineering outreach. Additionally, parent information resourceswere included on the website to empower the parents to continue the engineering conversationwith their children.

narratives.Conclusion: This project highlights lessons learned for faculty in the areas of student support,accommodations, inclusive practice, and student perceptions of classroom practice. We present thisproject as methodological innovation for qualitative research, and as future work, we intend to keepinvestigating impact on faculty via faculty focus groups, surveys, and workshops. We also highlight thisresearch as a metaphor for the empathic understanding that each faculty member can gain by listening tostudents, individually and collectively, and distilling lessons for their practice.The Need for Innovation in Broadening Participation Research “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” 1

Developed within theapplied disciplines of organizational theory and project management, engaged scholarshiprequires researchers to cooperatively interact with practitioner-stakeholders to identify,understand, and improve upon “complex social problems that often exceed our limitedcapabilities [as researchers] to study on our own” [18, p. 37]. Organizational engaged scholarshiphas been likened to design-based research in education, wherein education researchers team upwith a variety of education practitioner-stakeholders to iteratively advance the theory and designof an intervention to a complex educational problem, and is considered useful for researchersseeking to advance both scientific and practical knowledge together [17]; [20].Participants

In fact, according to Hanover research, one key element forretention practices among higher education institutions in the United States and Canada is socialconnectedness [4].College students not only develop the knowledge and skills needed to prepare for a professionalcareer after they graduate, but also explore social connections throughout their collegeexperience. Most universities provide many opportunities for students to join various studentorganizations on campus. For example, some of the engineering organizations include studentchapters of professional organizations, including Society of Women Engineers
