Given the diverse engineering student population that Engineering PLUS targets, networking is a critical component, especially for our women and BIPOC Fellows. Therefore, these collaborations and personal interactions are desired and can be measured with evaluation instruments. Fortunately, evaluation data already show that Fellows are benefiting from such collaborations within stEm PEER Academy, within Engineering PLUS, and within their own institutions.Deliverable #2: Data One of the most important deliverables of stEm PEER Academy has been exploring publicly available data in the national

Doors for All: Creating an Inclusive and Equitable Engineering Education Model Inspired by the ASEE Mindset ReportI. IntroductionIn recent years, ASEE, in partnership with other national organizations such as the NSF, NAE,NAB, and the broader engineering community, has engaged in a multi-year effort to create a setof high-impact recommendations to transform the landscape of engineering education in the 21 stcentury. The 2018 ASEE and NSF report, Transforming Undergraduate Education inEngineering [1], emphasized that the engineers of tomorrow must possess “deep expertisewithin a single domain, broad knowledge across domains, and the ability to collaborate withothers in a diverse working environment.” This vision has been echoed in
