International Division (INTL) Business Meeting
This special session aims to further the development of the National Academy of Engineering's (NAE) “CESER” program—Cultural, Ethical, Social, and Environmental Responsibility in Engineering. CESER envisions an education and practice milieu where cultural, ethical, social, and environmental responsibility are seamlessly integrated into every facet of engineering work and is helping to bring it to fruition through workshops, collaborations, and other efforts aimed at raising the visibility of crucial issues and identifying paths forward. Building upon the exploratory nature of the 2024 ASEE CE ... (continued)

This year, we encouraged abstracts to touch on the intersection of leadership and ethics. During this session, we will have the authors of those papers present their work and transition to a panel where the presenters answer questions broadly from the audience.
The goal of this special session is to work together with the attendees to identify
strategies to support faculty, especially faculty of color, in bringing their personal identities into
their teaching. According to the National Center for Education statistics, in Fall 2022, only 28%
of full-time faculty did not identify as white. With less than 1% of full-time faculty identifying as
American Indian/Alaska Native or Pacific Islander [1]. This underrepresentation is exacerbated
by the fact that faculty of color often experience a more hostile work environment than their
white counterpa ... (continued)
