Case studies are included that particularly shine a light onengineering teams in which a lack of diversity contributed to adverse consequences. The coursewas designed for engineering students, co-taught by faculty with complimentary backgrounds inengineering and education. In this paper, we discuss the evolution of this course offering fromwhat was originally a single credit hour course taught from solely an engineering perspective anddesigned to primarily emphasize women in engineering, through multiple offerings to its presentformat, as a three-credit technical elective focused on all historically marginalized engineers,leveraging collaborative faculty expertise in engineering
