1. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: ASEE 90-day Equity Challenge

The ASEE 90-day Equity Challenge is underway!

 

Engineering and engineering technology (E&ET) student organizations offer opportunities for students to develop peer networks, gain valuable co-curricular experiences, apply knowledge acquired in the classroom to real-world challenges, and prepare for future success in the workplace. Participation in engineering student organizations can offer students access to career opportunities including mentoring, internships/co-ops, job opportunities. The access and experiences that these opportunities afford are valuable and formative for an engineering student’s success and persistence. But the question we should ask ourselves is: are all students able to take advantage of, and benefit from, these opportunities?

 

In this 90-day Equity Challenge, ASEE’s Commission on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusivity has challenged the leaders of student organizations to identify and address barriers that exist within the local chapter of their organization which may prevent equitable and inclusive engagement by all students.  At the end of the 90-day challenge, fifteen (15) teams will be selected to win a $1,000 prize for their organization, have their work highlighted on a national platform, and be featured in multiple press releases.

More information can be found here: https://diversity.asee.org/deicommittee/yire/90-day-challenge/

Happy April, Student Division!

 

Can you believe that it’s April already? For many of us, final exams and summer break are fast approaching! I’m most looking forward to being able to visit friends and family that I haven’t seen in far too long. Even if you’ll be working through the summer, I hope the conference opportunities and the time away from classes serve as a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the fall and spring. Although we don’t have much in the way of division-specific announcements this month, we wanted to extend a warm thanks to Adrianne for planning and hosting our virtual escape room event last month, as well as those who participated. We couldn’t have pulled it off without you all!

 

We’re still in the process of updating our Twitter, Facebook, Slack, Discord, and website to have more consistent streams of relevant information. We’ll use these platforms to deliver programming that focuses on topics like mental health, diversity and inclusivity in engineering education, and promoting student chapter growth and development.

 

Finally, as always, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Adrianne (awheel13@depaul.edu) or Cassie (cswood@umich.edu) with any questions or concerns regarding the division or the annual conference, or to Skyler (me@skylerausten.com) with questions about adding a listing to our monthly newsletter. Until next month’s newsletter, stay well and take care! Good luck with your courses and projects.

 

Best,

2. SEMINAR ANNOUNCEMENT: Learning in the Time of Coronavirus

ASEE Webinar: Learning in the time of coronavirus, March 30, 2021 – 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM ET. – https://resources.asee.org/course_catalog/learning_in_the_time_of_coronavirus/

The past year has signaled a monumental change in engineering education with the near universal shift to remote learning. Although this shift occurred suddenly, engineering education has undergone several shifts in the past 100 years. In this webinar, Karl Smith (Purdue University) and Rocío Chavela Guerra (American Society for Engineering Education) will summarize major shifts in engineering education, such as the shift to outcomes-based accreditation and an emergent shift to address justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion. They will share insights, lessons learned, and will discuss implications for the current shift to remote learning. The webinar will close with recommendations for course redesign to enhance learning in the time of coronavirus.

To register, see https://resources.asee.org/course_catalog/learning_in_the_time_of_coronavirus/

10. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: Queer Student Panel Recruitment through ASEE Student Division

Our names are Brandon Bakka and Madeleine Jennings. We are both queer graduate students interested in studying the queer engineering experience.

We are emailing to request panelists for our panel entitled “Student Panel: Understanding Queer Experiences in Engineering.” We are seeking participants in a graduate or undergraduate engineering program, who identify in any way with the LGBTQIA+ community, and who reside at the intersections of other marginalized identities. We recognize that queerness is not the only identity that is marginalized in engineering. We also realize that queerness intersects with other marginalized identities and that our current sociopolitical climate mandates now more than ever that we as scholars pay attention to these intersections of identity. Therefore, we would like to be intentional about elevating the voices of queer engineering students who reside at the intersections of marginalization, and particularly our queer, Black colleagues.

This panel will serve to educate faculty about the experiences and challenges that LGBTQIA+ undergraduate and graduate engineering students face both personally and professionally. This panel will be organized and executed entirely by students. This innovative approach provides a platform for a traditionally marginalized student group to share their stories and to educate allies. This panel will also serve as a pilot for a new type of training that reinforces allyship and advocacy for the queer community through participatory action and story-telling. This training is also designed to build empathetic connections through the sharing of real experiences that students have had in engineering. By grounding this panel in LGBTQIA+ student experiences and empathetic learning outcomes, we intend to educate our participants beyond just LGBTQIA+ terminology. The goal of this panel is to help participants empathize with the realities of navigating in engineering as a marginalized individual.

Finally, we would like to acknowledge that sharing our stories as queer engineers can be both therapeutic as well as difficult. This panel is intended to be impactful precisely because we anticipate it to be raw, honest, and emotional. In the event that you do not feel comfortable serving as a panelist, we are also collecting statements and stories from queer engineering students to include in our training packet that participants will receive.

If you are interested in participating in this panel, please fill out the following survey. https://utexas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0p7BamP9JVysZJX

We look forward to hearing from you!

Kind regards,

Brandon Bakka, He/They (bbakka@utexas.edu)

Madeleine Jennings They/Them (mfjenni1@asu.edu)

11. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: Commission on P12 Engineering Education Survey

The ASEE Commission on P12 Engineering Education is collecting information about activities and programs that support engineering education in the pre-college space.  These could be activities taking place with students or with teachers; held in-school, extracurricular, or in informal environments; working with just a few individuals, or reaching large groups.  The goal is to create a central resource so that all working in the P12 space can share with and learn from each other.  Below is a link to a short survey.  The information collected from the survey will be shared through a map and hub on the Commission’s website and to select programs to be highlighted in a “spotlight” section periodically.  No information will be shared by the Commission without first securing the approval of those who filled out the survey.  Everyone is asked to share this survey link with others they know who are involved in the P12 engineering space, whether they are members of ASEE or not.

Survey link: https://forms.gle/b6GreyywCLJBfon37

Please contact us if you have any questions.
