SketchWhile many engineering educational programs teach teamwork skills, especially in first yearengineering courses, teaching inclusive, collaborative and productive behaviors for working inteams composed of people with diverse backgrounds is challenging [1]. For students frommarginalized or minority populations, many interventions focus on preparing them to workwithin a majority-focused and sometimes unwelcoming culture [2]. Supported by NSF funding, ateam of researchers investigated a different approach. They infused existing engineering andcomputer science curriculum with small, but impactful, changes or additions to help studentsdevelop inclusive professional identities. That project approached diversity holistically,including different life
