collaboration across various fields, including community engagement,medicine, food science, psychology, environmental science, etc. As such, the contemporaryand future-ready chemical engineer must be able to work effectively in teams with people ofdiverse backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and specialties. This requirement makesstrong teamwork skills one of the most sought-after abilities by prospective employers andclients. This expectation can also be seen in the accreditation conditions of professionalbodies like Engineers Australia [2] that require graduate engineers have the capability to leadand participate successfully in teams.

Thepapers were categorized into 4 different education interventions: programmatic configurations,curricular settings, pedagogical approaches and learning activities. The programmaticconfiguration category refers to integrating equity methodically into the most important elementsof education programs, for instance curriculum design, admission process, internships, andteaching. The program curricula category refers to off-campus experiences and academic courses.The pedagogical approaches category refers to fundamental rules, models, or educational teachingstrategies. The

The majority of these interactionstypically take place in the classroom, but also happen during office hours and extracurricular ac-tivities.Office hours provide a valuable opportunity for students to ask questions, obtain help for theirspecific situation, get mentoring, and engage with course content with an expert. This activeinteraction with a faculty member can provide valuable learning for students, and previous studieshave found that office hours can improve student course performance. A study by Guerrero andRod found that for each office hour attended students saw a 0.77% increase in their grade evencorrecting for overall GPA, gender, race, and family income [3]. A study

However, the engineering education system is still challenged to be moreinclusive of women and underrepresented minorities to reflect the demographics of society [3].According to the Census Bureau, women were slightly more than half of U.S. residents, andminorities constituted 36% of the U.S. population in 2010 [4]. The projections also suggest thatminorities will be about half of the resident U.S. population by 2050 [4]. However, womenrepresented 21.4% of enrolled engineering undergraduates, 24.1% of enrolled Master’sengineering students, and 26.2% doctorate students in the United States in 2015 [5].

As aresult of this meeting, new partnerships were formed and plans were made to move forward withthe pursuit of a regional center. In 2011, a planning grant (NSF Award #1104083) was receivedand utilized to develop the foundation for the creation of the Midwest Photonics EducationCenter (MPEC).
