ASEE envisions widespread, inclusive, and equitable environments in engineering, academia, and industry that embrace individual differences and leverage diversity for a better engineered tomorrow.
To increase visibility and discussion of diversity issues.
To help develop inclusive and pervasive environments for all engineers to thrive.
To facilitate and encourage use of translatable strategies that enable both bottom up and top down empowerment.
ASEE is committed to helping members create and foster environments where every individual is respected, and no one feels marginalized. We envision widespread, inclusive, and equitable environments in engineering, academia, and industry that embrace individual differences and leverage diversity for a better engineered tomorrow. The Committee on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion actively supports this commitment and recognizes engineering education scholars whose research in diversity, equity, inclusion and social justice has been attacked. These Champions of Diversity expand our understanding of how we can move forward to a more equitable future and we celebrate their work as they name and address root causes of inequity in engineering education. Please take the time to benefit from their work by visiting our resource pages and by exploring best papers.
