The decision-making modelfollows a modified version of the structure proposed by Hatipkarasulu and Gunhan for a job offerscenario [17]. The decision-making process has three major stages: the event (noted as "theoffer/challenge" by Hatipkarasulu and Gunhan [17]), the dilemma, and the decision. Thismodified model can be adapted for different scenarios and can be extended for furtherdiscussions.THE SCENARIO AND FRAMEWORKUsing the modified model, the example in this paper is built on a straightforward

Toimprove the DEI knowledge of educators, participants shared learning experiences includinginformal training events and reading groups and provided materials and time to colleagues toensure representation in course readings and presentations.Even though there have been efforts to improve DEI in engineering education [9], [14], theseefforts have mainly focused on student representation and retention.

Given the age of the program, there isno data on success rate of students matriculating through higher education, although over half ofthe graduating seniors to date have chosen an engineering career path by applying to anengineering program at a post-secondary institution. Post-secondary data collection is a part offuture study plans. Key considerations from the first four years of this program include ensuring keypartnerships are established with organizations like the National Society of Black Engineering

A further contention is that extra creditassignments can induce a moral hazard (Wilson, 2002). In this situation the fear is that byoffering students extra credit they perceive less risk in performing poorly and will not study asthoroughly, as they will have the option to make points up in the future. The proponents of extracredit tout its ability to give students a second chance, rectify an exam which may have been toodifficult, or explore topics in further detail than scheduled
