Students kept their posters for presentation at national or regional conferences and to display in their home departments to facilitate recruiting.

Byembracing DEI, the engineering discipline is better positioned to tackle the grand challenges ofour time, from climate change to equitable access to technology, with solutions that are as variedand complex as the issues themselves [14], [15]. In essence, the integration of DEI into theengineering discipline enhances the field's ability to generate transformative solutions that areequitable, sustainable, and reflective of the needs of all segments of society. It is not just an idealto aspire to but a practical necessity for the continued relevance and progress of the engineeringprofession.Chemical Engineering, like many engineering fields, grapples with the underrepresentation

However, in some cases,engineering designs and products benefit some at the detriment of other groups [1], [2]. Withjustice issues affecting millions around the world, many engineering programs have startedintroducing modules and themes in their curriculum to educate students on such injustices andoffer approaches to help them address these issues. The environmental engineering discipline isuniquely positioned to recognize environmental injustice, understand its adverse health andeconomic outcomes, and advance ethical approaches and solutions to

Students will understand that teamwork promotes: a. Development of an ethical mindset and ability to seek assistance to get the job done. b. Collaborative skills, experience, and knowledge to solve challenging problems. c. Credibility of solutions derived from multiple perspectives. d. Learning from and professional development for team members. e. Better communication, trust, support, and a positive working environment. 4) Communication: Students will exercise their communication skills in oral and written
