Session Description

Did you know…
- 1 in 5 LGBTQIA+ students fear for their physical safety on college campuses? 1 in 3 LGBTQIA+ students are made to feel uncomfortable in our classrooms?
- LGBTQIA+ engineering students are more likely than women, underrepresented minorities, and non-LGBTQIA+ peers to report a chilly climate?
- STEM departments are lagging way behind other disciplines in the adoption of LGBTQIA+-inclusive practices?

Session Description

As engineering educators, we understand that to prepare the next generation of engineers, we must move beyond those practices that fostered the success of a narrow demographic and produced engineers with limited experience in how to collaborate in a diverse world, lead across differences, and draw on multiple perspectives to innovate creatively. The concomitant importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in a successful engineering education program is increasingly reflected in accreditation criteria related to DEI. What strategies can we consider to meet these criteria while complying ... (continued)

Session Description

This panel session provides a preview of the "International Handbook of Engineering Ethics Education," slated for release by Routledge in late 2024. As the field of Engineering Ethics Education (EEE) continues to mature and attract a diverse cohort of researchers, the handbook constitutes a valuable resource for those knowledgeable in the domain as well as newcomers.

The handbook provides a comprehensive review of the existing research on EEE, serving as a central repository for teaching, research, and curriculum management in engineering and its specialized subset of engineering ethic ... (continued)
