AB  - The importance of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) have become incorporated into the culture of engineering and ASEE has established a diversity recognition program to recognize Schools that have incorporated these aspects into their mission, a piece of which is the curricula.  In addition, the revisions to ABET criterion 5 (curriculum) now includes the need to address DEI.  To accomplish part of the curricular component, we have been working on hands-on activities that are scalable from a first-year program to upper level courses in engineering.  The University is situated in a region that represents a very diverse community and the students in our engineering programs mirror this diversity. For example, the School boasts a 63.7% enrollment of Persons of Color. In addition, we do not have a separate admission to the School.  The combination of our region and less restrictive entrance to the program results in a larger proportion of first-generation students with diverse academic backgrounds prior to entering the University. To aid students who experience academic challenges we have developed two activities that are introduced in the first-year curriculum and then revisited in an upper-level course.  The idea is that this will create connections from the first-year courses to upper-level courses and give the students some familiarity with the topic.  The activities will also address aspects of equity, accessibility, and inclusion.   One activity addresses equity and water infrastructure through a water filtration activity.  The second activity introduces the concepts of noise measurement and logarithmic calculations to bring awareness to hearing and the importance of OSHA standards in the workplace. This paper will measure the impact of the activities on building awareness of DEI and success in communicating the subject matter through Likert surveys of the students.
