Evidence of gendered and race-baseddiscrimination is particularly robust, indicating that women and faculty of color experience arange of overt and covert inequities throughout their professional careers when compared to menand white faculty respectively [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] [11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20].Covert inequities and microaggressions as they play out in 2020 in colleges and universities inthe U.S. are often very difficult to address because they are subtle, even invisible (especially tothe often well-intended perpetrator); other equities are still far from subtle. In STEM fields,gendered discrimination issues have often been described with the “leaky pipeline” metaphor:women leave STEM fields in greater

teaching practice in order to see sustainable change in engineering schools. This study examines the contrast between STEM education research on the positive impact of faculty on diversity and inclusion and some engineering faculty’s lack of actual involvement with these issues. We examine the faculty of an electrical and computer engineering (ECE) department at Purdue University using Fishbein and Ajzen’s reasoned action model for behavior to determine factors in the department that influence faculty’s intention to make change for diversity and inclusion. We conducted interviews with ECE faculty about diversity, inclusion and department culture, and then an inductive thematic analysis

URM students lag considerably behind White and Asian students in degreecompletion and faculty appointments. One intervention widely touted as effective in promotingpositive outcomes is mentoring however URM students often lack access to mentoring and justas importantly mentors lack culturally responsive knowledge, skills and dispositions required tobe effective mentors to URM students. A qualitative study was conducted to better understandhow the knowledge, skills and dispositions of STEM faculty align with culturally responsivementoring. Three themes were constructed from the

A very public graphic example of this is the Google echochamber case, where an employee was dismissed due to expressing viewpoints that did not alignwith company values [5]. Professional engineering bodies are increasing the obligations onmembers to report breaches to their code of ethical conduct and making it more difficult formembers to avoid disciplinary processes, for example Engineering New Zealand changed theircode so that “engineers must take action if they observe something of concern” and they mustreport if they “suspect another engineer has significantly breached the code” [6].

This allows for feedback on the goals of the program to be fully exchanged with the presenting faculty and students. Each year, new modules have been introduced, and mentor and student feedback helps faculty decide if they are offered again the following year. Following the lab activity, the women have a lunch with the Dean, who welcomes them to engineering at Lehigh.

perception is prevalent among engineering professionals(Faulkner, 2007). When mapped onto a space such as a classroom or professor’s office hours orstudent group project meeting, the techno-social dualism may cause conversations and discourseto center around technical issues instead of social issues such as ethics, diversity/inclusion, andmental health as an engineering student. These forms of discourse lead to what Cech (2014) callsthe culture of disengagement, where she finds that engineering students are less concerned withpublic welfare issues as they get socialized to the profession.
