. Again, ASEE was the full sponsor for the booth.4. Highlighting Scholarly ActivityIn 2017, the Diversity Committee introduced traditional publish-to-present paper sessions at theASEE Annual Conference. This was in part a response to the papers nominated for the BestDiversity Paper award. The Diversity Committee maintains a position of supporting a broaddefinition of diversity and recognized a need to provide a space for papers on diversity-relatedtopics that were not the historical focus of other divisions within the organization. That year,twenty-two papers were accepted for presentation at the annual conference; this was above andbeyond the papers submitted to the Minorities in Engineering Division (MIND), the Women inEngineering Division
and influential authors with historical developments that might have motivated them.As Philip Wiener put it in his preface to his five-volume Dictionary of the History of Ideas:Studies of Selected Pivotal Ideas (1973), “the historian of ideas makes his [sic] particularcontribution to knowledge by tracing the cultural roots and ramifications of the specializedconcerns of the mind” (p. vii).Search engines such as Google Scholar and databases of publications have made the quantitativeanalysis of large bodies of texts far less labor-intensive than it was in the days of card cataloguesand print bibliographic resources. Although it is possible to do sophisticated assessments of theimpact of publications, for this initial analysis we used

]. At the same time, a large proportion of oursample was first year engineering students in a general engineering program where a portion ofthe content focuses on choosing academic majors so this may have been on student’s minds. Ofparticular note is the perceived importance (or lack thereof) of sexual orientation on the qualityof engineering solutions. Such a result is challenging to interpret; for example, the low score forthe importance of sexual orientation does not necessarily imply that respondents do not “value”diversity in sexual orientation, though it could. Instead, a low score might imply that respondentsdo not understand how or why someone’s sexual orientation might influence the quality of anengineering solution. In this way

Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN). The KEEN framework [5]is based on the premise that an entrepreneurial mindset is characterized by a persistent curiosityof all things, the skills to make connections between seemingly unrelated things, and an ever-present goal to create value. The dimensions of curiosity, connections, and creating value areoften referred to as the 3C’s. In addition to these three dimensions, the KEEN framework addsopportunity and impact as complementary skills within the realm of the entrepreneurial mindset.The framework provides specific learning outcomes for the five dimensions; see Table 1.

universities well to remember that industries are the sine qua non of real engineering activities (33) .Be broad minded and think long range.In this vein, the major engineering problems of local industries along with theirpotential solutions should be focused on, properly framed, and clearly identified inopen forums (e.g. through technical seminars, capstone courses and projects, theseswork, etc.). This would help to set the stage by: disseminating relevant information,generating technical debate, and examining potential solutions from differentperspectives. To come to grip with the needs of the industry and develop the potentialto tackle industries’ main problems and concerns, universities have to reach out,market their services, and do a better
