support fromthe Virtus community, we sought to align the Flexus and Virtus curriculum, so that bothcommunities would be exposed to and engaged in the same curricular content. Piloting Diversity and Inclusion Content The curriculum re-development process began through revising the second-yearFlexus/Virtus seminars. The original third semester seminar focused on entrepreneurship,leadership development, and networking. The original fourth and final semester focused onmulticulturalism and diversity, negotiations, and women in leadership. In spring 2017, we tookthe opportunity to pilot new content in the fourth seminar, specifically focusing on theimportance of diversity and inclusion in engineering, while
