The ASEE Diversity Committee currently manages awards for two activities: Student Essay & Video Contest, and Best Diversity Paper. Please see the information below or the respective pages for more information on each.
In addition to these diversity specific awards, we encourage everyone to think broadly and inclusively as they consider nominations for ALL ASEE Awards. For the complete list of ASEE awards, go to https://www.asee.org/member-resources/awards/full-list-of-awards
Submissions Open until February 1, 2017
Students, tell us your stories and share your perspectives! The American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) envisions widespread, inclusive, and equitable environments in engineering, academia, and industry that embrace individual differences and leverage diversity for a better engineered tomorrow. The Board of Directors established the 2016-2017 year as the year to Commit to P12: When Engineering Begins. In response to this celebration and focus of P12 education, the ASEE Diversity Committee wants students from all walks of life and grade levels (graduate, undergraduate, and P12) to share their community story by submitting an entry into the essay and/or video contests. Each entry should clearly answer the prompt provided and follow all rules.
