©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) in ET programs in the USAbstractInstitutions in the US that provide Engineering Technology (ET) degrees prepare both 2-year and 4-year graduates for careers in government, industry, and/or business. Graduatesfrom ET institutions are one of the most diverse of the science, technology, engineering,and mathematics (STEM) fields. The 2-year ET graduates employed in technician rolesalign well with the 15.XX Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) codedesignations, the corresponding US Bureau of Labor Statistics occupationalclassification, and employers have a good understanding of their role.Diversity is a strength

Though ChatGPT usage might present challenges such as academicdishonesty and students have to be careful with the ways in which ChatGPT embeds biases andstereotypes, I outline design recommendations that instructors can pursue to guide studentstowards using ChatGPT to arrive at a more level footing to other classmates. At the end of the day, ChatGPT is a tool that has the potential to both do good and causeharm. It is up to instructors to educate and support students in leveraging it for the good it canbring, and avoid causing harms that it can perpetuate.

Each was powered by disruptive new technologies. In the 18th century, Industry 1.0transformed manual production methods to machines that used steam and waterpower. Industry2.0 occurred a century later with the electrification and
with deficitperspectives (e.g., inadequacies of the home) and meritocratic ideologies. These resultssuggest that engineering educators that seek to address issues of social justice need to firstdeconstruct the complexity of social issues and the nuances involved in technical work.Decoding complex social issues is important in order for students to see themselves as agenticactors that can contribute to social justice through engineering design.IntroductionSocial contexts in engineering are often seen as tangential to problem solving, thusexacerbating the problematic ways in which engineering problems are framed as decoupledfrom society and social justice. Yet, most engineering educators in the US are familiar with thestudent outcomes set forth

The useof responsive pedagogy should be further refined in the African context, mechanisms forbuilding self-efficacy in young African engineers should be elicited, and they should beconsidered equally alongside interventions focused on improving learning outcomes.IntroductionMost countries that have achieved sustainable development have done so through a concertedfocus on technology and innovation. Existence of an innovation-driven economy dependsdirectly on the quality of education available for the rising generation. Although the WestAfrican nation of Ghana recently achieved lower-middle income status [1], its potential forsustainable development continues to be limited by its educational system’s
