Some of these include engineering and design,production and operations, research and development, quality management and improvement,information technology, marketing and sales, management, human resources, and evenworkplace safety and health. Thus, bio-based industries are very germane to engineering andtechnology disciplines. Bio-based operations require skill sets similar to traditionalmanufacturing settings, but also have a need for additional knowledge in biological sciences,which can vary according to the specific product(s) produced at a given facility (i.e., energy,fuels, chemical, or products). For example, equipment, processes, and unit operations must bedesigned; these systems must be optimized, modeled, and simulated; and

Thus,students may be strongly affected by the overarching contexts in which they have come tounderstand engineering.More acute encounters (i.e., specific project characteristics) have also been shown to affectstudents’ innovation-related capabilities, knowledge, and awareness. One key factor seems to bespecific pedagogical interventions. For example, students who have participated inentrepreneurship courses often report greater knowledge, skills, and attitudes related toinnovation17,18. Further, students who received targeted training in empathic design producedmore innovative concepts on a follow-up design task21. Additional project characteristics,including team composition and

overothers, this can create a “chilly climate” for disadvantaged groups, deterring members of thesedisadvantaged groups from persisting in engineering education and beyond.Research on “chilly climates” within engineering education largely focuses on the experiences ofwomen and racial minorities. In the former, researchers have found “chilly climates” which areunwelcoming to women and can have negative impacts on women’s sense of self-efficacy withinengineering school.15, 16, 17, 18 Researchers investigating the experiences of racial and ethnicminority (REM) students have also found chilly climates which are biased against minoritystudents, particularly African-Americans, Latinos and Native-Americans.15, 19A key mechanism for the facilitation of
findings in future publications. These findings can also beextrapolated to encompass students’ GPA, Co-op opportunities, job availability during Co-ops,and post-graduation salaries.

Therefore, it is imperative thatmore research and practice focuses on NTSE to better understand how to support them towardscompletion of an engineering degree.The ability to create proper support structures for undergraduate students relies, to a large extent,on the capacity of different stakeholders, teachers, advisors, and administrators – tosimultaneously respond to different student needs and characteristics. For nontraditional studentsin general and NTSE particularly, success in their classes is often a function of being able tomanage other elements of their lives such as finances, commitment to family, commitment tojob, and the ability to find peer support.

If, for example, one “googles” the keywords “engineering school diversity professor student,” one will easily find a number of universities addressing the diversity of their student populations. When students work together, “it remains a big challenge for students with different educational backgrounds, practical experience and ethnic backgrounds, to coordinatetheir knowledge, thinking and activities”17.

The goal of this projectwas to understand student thinking about diversity and inclusion with the long-term aim ofimproving culture for females and under-represented groups. The engineering workforce andengineered products, infrastructure, and services can certainly benefit from designs created bydiverse teams.
