As a result of this feedback, DEIinstruction was tied to ABET SO 5 as part of the program’s continuous improvement plan. Tyingthis instruction to student outcome assessment does two important things: 1) it makes DEI inengineering a permanent feature in the program so that all students see the content and 2) it willbe assessed and improved upon each year as a part of ongoing improvements to the institution’sengineering program.In 2020, the DEI instructor was again the course instructor, and the module extended over aperiod of three days.

This practice has been used extensively within the learning disability (LD) communities to helpstudents advocate for themselves in the creation and implementation of their IndividualEducational Plans (IEPs). A comprehensive review of evidence-based practices for teaching self-advocacy within the LD communities found that there are three critical factors that, whencombined result in increased academic success: empowerment or a sense of agency (havingcontrol over decisions and life events), strong self-awareness (knowing what is right for oneselfand setting goals based on this criteria), and social justice (knowing how to

Acommon theme that has emerged from these discussions is the critical need to effectively integrateequity and inclusion into the teaching and learning environment.

barriers to graduating and extend the time to graduate for transferstudents. To support transfer students, 2- and 4- year universities need to establish articulationagreements that guarantee credits will transfer toward required coursework within the major. Forexample, the state of California has well-defined agreements between community colleges and theCalifornia State University system (CSU) as well as the University of California system (UC) [5].Students can build their transfer plan of study on the ASSIST.org platform based on the existingagreements by defining their 2-year college and the major they would like to transfer to in the 4year university[5]. Other aspects that facilitate the transfer process are the possibility of
