Experiences of Black Graduate Students at a Southern Research University [10].This topic generated rich discussion that brought into sharp focus areas where the Fellows’preconceptions about URM students’ experiences differed greatly from the students’ reports oftheir experiences. The discussion generated ideas that Fellows could use for preparing facultymembers to be mentors and giving incoming doctoral students ideas to promote their success inthe program.In November, the process evaluator administered surveys to faculty and graduate students in thesix departments represented by the Fellows. The surveys were designed to measure perceptionsof the department climate for diversity from the perspective of both faculty and students,opportunities afforded

ergonomics. Fraser’s 121 credit hour “generic”plan of study, which she feels describes most IE programs, includes two related courses: threecredit hours of “work methods” and three credit hours of “human factors.” Some portion of theseIE programs require only one three-credit-hour course that covers both work methods and humanfactors topics. IE programs may also offer advanced topics in ergonomics that are available aselectives to undergraduate students. There is also a subset of IE undergraduate programs thathave no required courses in these areas; Fraser’s numbers indicate that this is only about 10% ofABET accredited IE programs.Under the premise that ergonomics is an important subject in an undergraduate IE education, theinitial goal of this

In many ways, engineeringrepresents a microcosm of the institutional and structural barriers to persistence traditionallyunderserved graduate students face in higher education across all majors, resulting in adverseeducational outcomes [11].

. Graduate technically competent engineers who expect to engage in lifelong learning in the profession. To be competitive in the employment market, engineers must have a solid, fundamental technical education in their discipline which meets ABET general and program criteria; this cannot be accomplished with less than 96 units of technical content. However, to meet the level needed for an entry-level engineering professional, their programs need not be so specialized that they are unable to communicate with either the public or other technical professionals in different disciplines. 2.

40% of undergraduateswho enter college intending to receive a STEM degree graduate in a STEM field1. This issue willbe exacerbated as women, underrepresented minorities (URM), and first-generation collegestudents, who traditionally earn fewer STEM degrees than white men, continue to grow as themajority of collegians. A recent report by the President’s Council on Science and Technologyprojects the United States will need one million more engineers in the next decade than we areon track to produce. Increasing STEM graduation rates from 40% to 50% of interested studentswould create roughly 750,000 of the million-needed engineers.1The percent of underrepresented minorities in engineering and science has historically beendismally low. Based on a
survey on the impact of additive manufacturing on engineeringeducation. The consequences from the survey present that there is an increase in the ease oflearning, perceived interest and motivation amongst mechanical engineering graduate studentsafter being able to get hands-on access to AM technologies. Such findings could provide a basisfor engineering professoriate to build a case for Additive Manufacturing education. The paper alsosuggests that an early exposure of future generation designers to AM techniques can aid in thedevelopment of a “think-additive” style to product design. Inferences from this paper could beused as cases for universities to explore the option of including AM education in freshman andsophomore curriculum.Concepts like

This initial informationwill help inform our conversations in this workshop and beyond toward our ownrecommendations of change and ways to establish informal networks.Root Cause AnalysisDue to deep-rooted issues of inequity, as laid out by Gonzales, [6], Chua and many othersexamining issues of equity and diversity within engineering education and academic institutionsmore broadly
