Innovative Intervention to Infuse Diversity and Inclusion in a Statics CourseAbstractEngineering educators strive to prepare their students for success in the engineering workforce.Increasingly, many career paths will require engineering graduates to work in multidisciplinaryteams with individuals possessing a diversity of skill sets, backgrounds, and identities. Therefore,it is important not only for future engineers to have the opportunity to work in teams as students,but also to have specific instruction that teaches them about teamwork skills and the valuediversity and inclusion bring to engineering practice. Furthermore, it is important that thisinstruction occurs throughout their engineering coursework, giving

not unusual for discrepancies to exist when a senior plans to spendan extra semester or year as an undergraduate or when a graduating student completed therequired senior course in a previous term.Administering the survey in the month prior to commencement, while the students are still oncampus and in contact with their faculty members, obviously allows for increased opportunitiesfor contact and leverage, both increasing response rate. The disadvantage is that some studentswill not seek or obtain placement until after commencement. Thus, surveys administered sixmonths after commencement, a common practice, will typically always report higher placementthan those administered on campus before students leave.

to gain inspiration for a future design oras an initial step in revising a prior design for improvement. However, in construction, site andcode constraints make this practice less common, although it can be argued that constructionrenovation projects must fully research and document the existing design before proposingchanges to it. Nonetheless, terminology can become an obstacle in a multidisciplinary setting.Another difference between sectors is in how design methods are applied. At a high level,construction projects tend to be very similar, i.e. in the design of a building, foundations, floors,walls and roofs are all present. However, at a detailed level, construction projects all essentiallyunique, owing to differences in local soil

Evaluation of Interactive Multidisciplinary Curricula in a Residential Summer ProgramAbstract Previous studies have indicated that women account for about 18% of the engineeringdegrees awarded in the United States. Consistently low populations of women in engineering areoften attributed to discrimination, the perception that engineering is a masculine domain, and alack of understanding about the roles and responsibilities of an engineer. In order to increaseparticipation of women in engineering, universities develop outreach programs designed to bettereducate students (and the public) about engineering.
