Conclusions from the 2018 SE3 reportseek to inform engineering firms as to how to improve work place culture in order address areasof inequity within the profession and understand how to retain talent from a diverse populationof engineers. This paper examines how these findings can be used to prepare a similar diversegroup of students to enter the workplace with the tools to craft a successful career path. Further,it discusses how engineering management education programs can incorporate the topicshighlighted by the NCSEA SE3 committee concerning strategies that firm leadership canimplement on the management level to address employee values that the report shows to beundervalued.
