AB  - This paper builds on continuing research to study the impact of humanitarian engineering projects on student professional formation and views of diversity, equity, and inclusion. It is well-known that engineering lacks diversity and attempts to increase representation of women and racial minorities has not been as fruitful as hoped. The goals of this research study aim to create a more inclusive and equitable workplace environment through student involvement in humanitarian engineering projects. Thus far, the project has shown positive results through qualitative analysis of two open-ended questions from a survey [2]. The survey also employed two existing Likert-scaled instruments: the Engineering Professional Responsibility Assessment and the Valuing Diversity and Enacting Inclusion in Engineering instrument. This paper will focus on the quantitative results from these instruments in the survey from three participant groups: current engineering students at Lipscomb University, alumni of the engineering program at Lipscomb, and engineering professionals who are not affiliated with Lipscomb University. The results are compared to data from the existing instruments with a focus on connectedness and inclusive behaviors. Additionally, comparisons were made across sub-groups separated by involvement or non-involvement in humanitarian engineering projects. Interestingly, the quantitative results show significant difference from the existing instruments for the dimensions examined but little significance across the sub-groups. Data from two students who participated in the questionnaire before and after participating in a humanitarian engineering project is also presented. From these results, the authors conclude that the sampling methods may have had an impact on the mixed significance and that further qualitative methods may be appropriate for deeper study. For future work, the project team will conduct interviews with selected participants toward building a model for creating inclusive engineers through humanitarian engineering projects.
