Further, according to [4], “Even whenopportunities for faculty to learn about research-supported educational strategies arise throughworkshops, webinars, and presentations, various forms of resistance remain intact. Theseinclude lack of resources, faculty skepticism toward alternative teaching strategies, facultytrepidation of negative teaching evaluations and engineering faculty mistrust in educationalexperts from outside the engineering disciplines.”Today, higher education (and specifically engineering programs) must rise to the challenge andincrease awareness of issues regarding diversity; students must be informed citizens.

The analyses of the intersection of race and gender that have emerged in the research literature [12], [13] suggest that significant insights may be gained in applying this analysis to local contexts. 2. Adjusting practices. Informed by an analysis of current practices, practitioners could adjust diversity support practices in minor ways, or use theory to help make subtle design choices for programs in the future. For example, if a tutoring program is vital towards an academic preparation goal, but also seems to position students as fundamentally needing help, perhaps small adjustments could keep much of the benefit while removing drawbacks: adding a short critical

communication and information technology are reshaping our society inunparalleled ways. With the ever frequent reengineering and restructuring of corporate America,engineers are often working in disciplines that transcend their formal education. For example,many engineering graduates follow diverse career paths in medicine, financial engineering,management, public policy, and other fields that require a systems-oriented analysis andsynthesis ability. In addition, the highly complex and multidisciplinary nature of modernengineering systems demand synergies between various engineering and science disciplines anda strong synthesizing approach.
