Resources

Resources will be added here organized for faculty, staff, and administrators at all types of institutions. Additional content will be coming soon!

• The ASEE Diversity Committee publishes a newsletter twice annually. Winter 2015 is here.
• Consider adding an inclusivity statement to your syllabus. A sample one that can be adapted as necessary is:
  The diversity of the participants in this course is a valuable source of ideas, problem solving strategies, and engineering creativity. If you feel that your contribution is not being valued for any reason, please speak with me privately. If you wish to communicate anonymously, you may do so in writing or speak with _____. We are all members of an academic community where it is our shared responsibility to cultivate a climate where all students/individuals are valued and where both they and their ideas are treated with respect.

• Additional archived resources are available here.

Please share your best resources by visiting http://www.aseesurveys.org/s/OnlineDiversityResources/

The ASEE Diversity Committee invites members to submit up to three “Best of the Best” diversity resources -- links to journal articles, websites, and white papers that provide practical guidance on actions to recruit, retain, develop, and advance diverse students and faculty/instructors in engineering education, engineering technology education, and the engineering profession.

Please note that we seek resources to inform practice in all areas highlighted by ASEE’s definition of diversity (i.e. the inclusion of individuals that represent variations in gender, race, ethnic background, disability, sexual orientation, age, socio-economic status, nationality and other non-visible differences).
