As a discipline at the intersection of traditional engineering disciplines, “mechatronicsand robotics engineering” (MRE) is fast-growing and future-minded but suffers similar diversityand inclusion challenges as engineering broadly. This paper explores these challenges andidentifies unique opportunities inherent to MRE to 1) increase the participation of women andunderrepresented minorities (URM) in MRE, and 2) use MRE to increase the participation ofwomen and URM in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) broadly

, I'd say that that sense of that - that technical social dualism is reinforced throughout the curriculum, but especially in the – in two large areas of the curriculum in engineering science courses and humanities and social science courses. So, while the technical engineering science courses focus and - and privilege the technical, the humanities and social science courses in many universities do just the opposite.The separation of technical and social within the curriculum reinforces the perceivedseparation in students’ minds, which is not reflective of engineering practice where the twohave to be considered simultaneously.Requirements vs. electiveSome interviewees also commented on the challenges associated with teaching ESI inrequired

[44] point out how, for example, an empathic perspective-taking may have led to a different decision about the launch of the space shuttleChallenger.Incorporating these elements into early engineering education also begins to make topicssuch as risk assessment, decision-making, and environmental life cycle analysis becomean integral part of doing engineering thinking rather than as add-ons or after-thoughts afterthe technical decisions are made. This could begin to change the ethos of engineering inthe mind of the student, and ultimately in the practice of everyday engineering. In the“capstone” type courses such as senior design and other

The students’ broad preference to imagine excellent CSR in this way suggests agreater comfort with a moderate rather than radical approach to CSR. It can also leave in place asocial/technical dualism [20] found in engineering education and practice more generally, as itleaves the core “technical” activities of industry outside the
