Session Description

The Inclusive Mindset report went live at last summer's Annual Conference. This special session is an opportunity for members of the Engineering Technology Division to discuss the blueprint for implementing the recommendations of the Inclusive Mindset project. Members are either already doing some of the innovations that have been recommended or may be interested in finding ways to do so. This session will connect members of the blueprint writing team with division members to gather feedback and to help engage members in ways they could be part of the mindset movement. Find more information about the Mindset report at https://mindset.asee.org.
