, American Society for Engineering Education 2 IntroductionAs scientific and technological exploration and advancements continue to become increasinglycomplex and interdisciplinary, there is a growing need for a workforce that is multidisciplinaryand broadly knowledgeable of relevant important topics such as climate change, which iscontemporary for our time. With this in mind, it is essential for the growing workforce in science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields to include a diverse range of individualsto expand the workforce of STEM fields. For this to happen, there must be more efforts made inhigher education to cultivate the

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

As womenenter engineering programs in pursuit of degree attainment, they may feel unwelcome, lackprogram support, and encounter negative gender stereotypes. Women of color face additionalchallenges outside of gender such as experiences with prejudice, discrimination, and differencesin cultural values and socialization [3] that may hinder their confidence and effect their pursuit ofan engineering degree [7].Women of color attending predominantly White institutions (PWIs

technology the engineering schools must be focused on providing a strongeducation to students in technical fields. Our college takes this issue seriously by providingstudents with a very strong foundation of engineering education that allows them to transfersuccessfully to any four-year engineering programs. Engineering students in an academic setting do not have the environment, theresponsibilities, the demands, or the interactions with other members of an engineering team, nordo they face the real-life situations and challenges that a practicing engineer faces every day.Therefore, our program decided that our mentorship initiative must have as many professionalengineering aspects as academic ones. We built the mentoring role to be part coach

It is here where thenext generation of profession members—engineering students—are socialized into this cultureand learn to “become” engineers, “think like” engineers, and to problem solve in an “engineeringway” [11-12].At first blush, abstract beliefs within the professional culture may seem a degree removed fromthe day-to-day processes of inequality within engineering departments.
