Paper ID #40680Challenges and Opportunities to Address Diversity, Equity, and Inclusionwithin the Professional Construction IndustryMr. Andres Nieto, Virginia TechDr. Homero Murzi, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Dr. Homero Murzi (he/´el/his) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Engineering Education at Virginia Tech with honorary appointments at the University of Queensland (Australia) and the Univer- sity of Los Andes (Venezuela). Homero is the leader of the Engineering Competencies, Learning, and Inclusive Practices for Success (ECLIPS) Lab, where he leads a team focused on doing research on
Tech. His research broadly focuses on inclusion, diversity, and educational equity—particularly related to students from groups that are historically marginalized or underrepresented in engineering. Lee received his Ph.D. in engineering education from Virginia Tech, his M.S. in industrial & systems engineering from Virginia Tech, and his B.S. in industrial engineering from Clemson University.Dr. Homero Murzi, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University Homero Murzi (he|´el|him|his) is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering Education at Virginia Tech with honorary appointments at the University of Queensland (Australia) and University of Los Andes (Venezuela).
