While there are numerous efforts toencourage and promote inclusive teaching in engineering (some within ASEE), relatively littleremains known about faculty and student beliefs and experiences surrounding inclusive teaching.The purpose of this paper is to examine faculty and student beliefs surrounding inclusive teachingand to draw out themes that emerge across these groups. To accomplish this goal, we present apreliminary analysis of a subset of engineering student and faculty interviews.In the following sections, we will introduce some relevant literature on inclusive teaching in STEMand engineering education, including current efforts and challenges.

Overall, we know that at least40% of all doctoral students do not complete their programs, and much of this attrition could beprevented and is not reflective of student capability [8].Simultaneously, doctoral degrees awarded in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) continue to be disproportionately awarded to white students. In the 2019-20 academicyear, 71.3% of all STEM doctoral degrees awarded to U.S. citizens and permanent residentswere awarded to white students, even though the U.S. population is approximately 59.3% white.Only 4.3

Riddle Aeronautical UniversityKatrina Robertson, Embry Riddle Aeronautical UniversityTrey Talko, Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Small Shifts: New Methods for Improving Communication Experiences for Women in Early Engineering Courses Abstract: This paper outlines methods and initial data from an educational intervention based on previous research published at ASEE. Students in introductory engineering courses face challenges communicating and integrating their ideas in team projects. Often these challenges with team communication fall along gendered lines, where women students experience marginalization in team settings. This paper builds from previous research in the field of engineering education which integrated
