Session Description

Despite decades of national investment in STEM diversification, Black males continue to earn only approximately 2.8% of engineering bachelor's degrees in the United States — a figure that has remained stubbornly stagnant. This keynote address argues that the persistence gap is not a talent deficit but a structural failure, and that the engineering education community must move decisively from deficit-oriented thinking toward an assets-based model of student support.
Drawing on current research in engineering education, this address examines the lived experience of Black male engineering stude ... (continued)

Session Description

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion starts with us, but individual awareness and action are not enough. In order to transform our institutions and organizations to be more diverse, equitable, and inclusive, we must understand the larger systems we construct, operate within, and sustain. In this session, we will introduce a systems-thinking framework through case study analysis to assist us in identifying organizational successes and opportunities for improvement as we become catalysts for institutional change. We aim to raise the collective awareness of institutional biases to promote shared accountability to create equitable engineering education communities at every organizational level.
