Abstract

Engineering students have extensive education and training in technical fundamentals and problem-solving skills but have virtually no education or meaningful insight into Equity, Diversity and Inclusion principles and no basic understanding of inclusive leadership. Recognizing this, many universities are beginning to include elements of diversity and inclusion in the engineering curricula, as tomorrow’s engineers need to have this knowledge to work in industry. This paper discusses how we have re-designed a core professional education course to embed equity, diversity and inclusion principles, in order to equip engineering students with the foundations to become inclusive engineers.
