ways to addressthis issue as they worked to develop mentoring structures. Several early career faculty remarked about the benefits of cluster hiring. In addition tohiring large cohorts of faculty together, institutions who implemented cluster hiring, they alsoensured there were events to enable the new hires to meet one another and that there were otherculturally-relevant supports on the campus to sustain the faculty. Faye shared, [Campus C] did a very good job with mentoring, inviting me to several events for faculty of color. I made great connections with the director of [Latinx Office], and he introduced me to several others, Latinx community in the university. We came here as a big cohort, so there are two

The first casestudy begins a few minutes before the start of department faculty meeting. The chair is engagedin deep conversation with a small group of faculty while a relatively new faculty member entersthe room and is largely ignored. She is excluded from the conversation and when the chair makesan announcement of recent faculty successes, her accomplishments are not noted. The secondcase study centers on student complaints about an international faculty member, digging intohow the chair engages with the faculty member to address these concerns. The third case studytakes place at an annual faculty retreat where hiring plans

integrating gender equality issues within highereducation. In Chile, Ministry of Education Law No. 21.369 promotes the establishment of safeand inclusive environments for all members of higher education academic communities,irrespective of their sex, gender, identity, or sexual orientation. Numerous studies have revealedthat non-cognitive and affective factors significantly influence students' academic progress andsuccess. Therefore, it is essential to explore the perceptions and perspectives of students andfaculty in the School of Engineering regarding gender, equality, and roles. This pilot researchaims to delve into the views held by students and faculty members of a prominent EngineeringSchool in Chile concerning gender-related topics. The

These barriers encompassed severalchallenges, including inadequate job flexibility, familial responsibilities, insufficient support forchild care, and teaching-related concerns, such as negotiating workload.4) Underrepresentation of women faculty: About 20% of the literature highlighted anunderrepresentation of women faculty in many areas of academics.

Thompson describe an “aspirational approach” which centers the value of diversityaround advancing the well-being of people [15]. Creating an environment where all people feelsafe and included is an ethical issue that all humans should be concerned with while workingtoward social justice, fairness, equality, and equity.To make meaningful changes on this front, we argue that universities need to highlight and modelthe value of DEI throughout engineering departments (e.g., in engineering classrooms, having adiverse faculty in engineering departments, numerous opportunities for students to learn about DEIand ethics, etc.).5.3.Discussion on Interventions for Improving the Culture Climate in Engineering at the University LevelIn our literature review

courses forover two decades, it has become apparent to the authors and verified in studies that studentconfidence and feelings of belonging have profound impact on their ability to functioneffectively on a team [6]. While faculty may have some control over behaviors inside theirclassroom, it is the student behavior outside of the classroom and in the industry that are ofgreatest concern since they are no longer under the influence of their faculty. How do facultyfacilitate students’ understanding of the importance of inclusion? How do we convince studentsthat being inclusive has an important impact not only on the individual teammate, but on theperformance of the team as a whole?Additionally, the retention of engineers in the workforce

Furthermore, WOC who attendwomen's colleges and pursue STEM-related degrees are not only situated in a white campusclimate but in a field that lacks cultural and racial diversity [3]. Using a case study analysis, thepurpose of this study is to examine the mis/alignment of student needs and faculty perceptions ata women's college and a small university located in an urban city in the northeastern UnitedStates. To encapsulate and validate the issues of broadened participation, racial equity, andcultural diversity through a combination of student experiences of the campus climate andfaculty perception, student interviews and focus groups formed our data

].Despite ongoing progress towards gender parity in engineering disciplines in higher educationand the workplace, the gender gap still exists. The underrepresentation of women (and otherminority groups) in engineering in Canada leads to untapped opportunities for innovation,economic growth, and a just society where the design and development of new inventions embedthe needs and differences of diverse populations. While many researchers have examined variousequity, diversity, and inclusion issues in undergraduate engineering studies, the historical andongoing EDI issues in graduate degrees have remained intact. The small number of women inengineering graduate degrees raises concerns about an equitable workforce in higher-levelengineering positions

Earnings disparities also persist,with women in academia earning 82% of their male counterparts' salaries in the U.S [9]. Thisunderscores the ongoing need for concerted efforts to address gender inequities and promoteinclusivity within academic institutions.Research indicates that women in academic settings confront significant challenges that includegender bias, stereotypes, and systemic inequalities. In particular, gender disparities persist inSTEM fields, with women facing issues such as sexism

Achieving a critical massof women in these fields could pave the way for greater representation in both educationalinstitutions and industry and alleviate critical upcoming labor shortages. This, in turn, mighthelp mitigate or eliminate obstacles linked to stereotypes, stereotype threat, and a sense ofbelonging. Stereotyping is a perception that certain groups of individuals possess lesser academicability, a notion that can significantly impact their engagement in educational pursuits.
