3 Mile Island (1979) and Chernobyl(1986) slowed and later reversed NSE program growth [10]. NSE programs around the nationwere eliminated, including decommissioning of campus-based reactors, as student enrollmentsharply declined. In response to low enrollment and limited research funding, NSE programsacross the nation merged with other programs such Environmental Engineering or Physics. While leaders can agree that a regulated curriculum that effectively teaches STEMconcepts is important, there is no clear agreement on how STEM education is defined.

TheGROW framework engages faculty through a collection of “seeds” (i.e. easy to implement practices inequity and inclusion) that can be integrated into an assignment, project or course based on the existingDEI skillset of the instructor. To accomplish this, the GROW framework operates via four guidingprinciples that allows faculty to focus their efforts more effectively in integrating equity and inclusioninto the teaching and learning environment. These principles include: Grow relationships, Reimaginerepresentation, Optimize learning through accessibility and Work toward awareness and self-reflection.Embedded within each of these principles are a collection of research-backed “seeds” that are optimizedto
