The paper describes a unique relationship that has developed betweenone university’s engineering curricula and the collection of an art museum on its campus. Thepaper presents a longitudinal study of engineering students at this institution who engaged withart as part of their curriculum at both the freshman and junior levels.Among our findings: • Students liked the flexibility and freedom, the self-guided discovery that using art as a starting point afforded. No students were put off by the art. • The decision to integrate art

Less than ayear later, engineering Deans of the Big Ten+ Universities urged ABET in March 2021 toinclude diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the general criteria for accreditation. DEI, theyargued, needs to be embedded within the engineering curriculum in order to create an inclusiveculture and community within engineering colleges themselves [7]. Though initially approved bythe ABET Engineering Area Delegation in October 2021, revisions approved a year later havecut important passages from the proposed definitions of “inclusion” and “equity,” leaving“diversity” unchanged.Initially, “inclusion
