in the first engineering class (fall 2017) was about 26 (15% of whomwould be women). On the first day of engineering class, 55 students had enrolled (more thandouble of what was expected). Within three years, Wake Forest Engineering had nearly 200students, of whom 40% were women and 25% were students that brought racial and ethnicdiversity. There were 43 inaugural WFU Engineering graduates in May 2021 and the newdepartment was already the 4th largest and the most diverse among the 30 departments in theCollege of Arts and Sciences. This paper shares the story, from the perspective of the foundingchair, of building Wake Forest Engineering and some the strategies that led to (a) an inclusiveand diverse student and faculty body, (b) a flexible

, African American mencontinue to have markedly lower attainment than African American women and White students ofboth sexes [15]. If we have small numbers of Black or African American male and female studentsmatriculating into graduate programs in their major, it is our duty as researchers to gain expertisein methods that allow them to learn from small numbers of participants [16].B. Data Collection Participants were sent IRB-approved documentation via email with an overview of thestudy and their roles in the study. Pseudonyms were selected by the participants at the end of theirinterviews.

had a lot of group work. So [there were] all these guys and then us in our little three group. . . and the teacher just hated us. He just hated us. Personally, I feel like it was because we were, you know, all the girls that group together, we didn't branch off, we were our own group. Literally doing assignments, an [all-guy] group would do the exact same thing as us. Exact same thing, he would tell them the exact same thing, they got an A versus we got a B. So you could definitely tell that there was the bias. And we all saw it. And we all knew it in the way that he talked to us treated us. . . . I mean, you know, at the end of the day, we're all here to be engineering students. He made that
