Thisre-coding will help inform the discussion topics and activities we design for the CoNECDsession, although the workshop will be equally shaped through conversation among the attendingparticipants. We have also identified, via network analysis, the importance of connections andinformal networks across disciplines to create support and enact change. 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
