ASEE believes that diversity and inclusiveness is essential to enriching educational experiences and innovations that drive the development of creative solutions in addressing the world’s challenges.  In order for the engineering discipline to reach its full potential, the engineering education community and the engineering profession must better include all segments of our society. In particular, engineering must actively engage and help promote the pursuit of engineering education and engineering careers with those individuals who have been historically under-represented within engineering. The ASEE Best Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Award strives to enhance the visibility and sustainment of actions in support of diversity and engineering, which is empowering society in unprecedented ways.
