AB  - This work-in-progress paper explores implementing a stand-alone, multi-week module focused on Diversity-Equity-Inclusion-Belonging-Justice (DEIBJ) Inclusive Design (ID) considerations in engineering practice.  DEIBJ are key elements of any society. The engineering practice with an immediate and direct impact on society needs to embrace DEIBJ elements in the form of general consideration as well as inclusive design practices in all aspects - from conceptualization to design to implementation. Although, most engineering colleges and higher education institutions offer courses in engineering ethics and lately on sustainability and sustainable practices, there is a lack of consistent adoption of DEIBJ-focused courses. The authors feel that it is important to embed these concepts in multiple engineering and general education courses across the four-year degree curriculum. Still, it is even more important to start with an introduction to engineering or engineering design course. 100-level engineering courses are often students’ first real exposure to engineering, engineering design, and the engineering profession. Integrating DEIBJ and ID concepts in such courses will make them part of students’ natural thought processes and will have a profound and lasting impact on their engineering careers. This WIP paper will present a dedicated DEIBJ and ID module that the authors plan to implement in an interdisciplinary engineering design introductory course. The module will be designed to run over 3-4 weeks where students will get exposed to DEIBJ and ID concepts through their background as well as case studies for successful implementation in prominent engineering projects. The module will also engage students in discussions and activities that rely on active learning-based practices. Students will form groups to critically analyze an engineering project or product and present their findings to the entire class in short group presentations. The authors are looking to present this idea to get feedback to further improve the implementation aspect as well as to form a plan to assess learning outcomes and the effectiveness of the module.
