Of this group, about half are unaware of the unearned advantages linked totheir social location, while the other half articulate an understanding of their privilege.International students and students of color generally expressed a lower sense of belonging in theunit and experiences of marginalized status.

Faculty play a unique and potent role because they are the ones who construct theactivities, classroom environments, and assessments that so deeply affect students. The in-classexperience is often lacking in important but subtle ways that can drive away capable students. Mostfaculty members are unaware of how they can redesign the educational experience to enable studentsto succeed. Unfortunately, this inattention represents missed opportunities to retain more women,underrepresented minorities, and first-generation students in engineering.Modern university classroom experiences are often cold, impersonal, and demotivating.
