They felt less concerned about how they wereperceived by the graduate student and better empowered to ask “dumb” questions that wouldultimately benefit the research.Finally, the program had an unexpected benefit in its focus on ROTC students. Megan describedhow she “… didn’t get a chance to do an internship or anything with my summer trainingschedule… it gave me some work experience… more of a professional level instead of just theclassroom setting.” By participating in the

It is designed to give students an early start in their engineering majors and helpbuild a community of students, faculty, and staff across different engineering disciplines. Forhigh school students this is an opportunity to further explore their interest in engineering whilebuilding networks with students and mentors in the university.Workshops, programs, and other initiatives to bring awareness to issues related to diversity,equity, and inclusion (DEI) in an organization (a workplace or an academic institution) havebeen around since the 1960s [3], [4], with questionable outcomes [5], [6].

Another issue wasthe time associated with keeping track of wires, probes, and other small items. It was decidedthat these would simply be left out for students to use. A similar policy is followed with solder,wire, and other expendables. The most serious issue arose with the number of electroniccomponents to stock in-house; a balance between availability and expense needed to be reached.To resolve this issue new components are initially stocked at a low level and usage is trackedover time using the e-commerce software.The final effective change to the design environment was in response

Age-old stereotypes that influence theway that engineers perceive themselves need to be investigated, modified, and in many casesdestroyed.When the science revolution took place in the 1700s, the movement to divorce the scientificworld from the arts was loudly applauded by liberal studies activists. Science was trying to carveits place in the world and, therefore, had other issues to consume its time, Complaints over thepast decades have reflected upon this separation of disciplines. We have been deluged with "rightbrain, left brain" concerns, with cries that
