The Engineering Case for Diversity: “As a consequence of a lack of diversity, we pay an opportunity cost, a cost in designs not thought of, in solutions not produced.” -- William A. Wulf, former president of NAE
ASEE Statement on Diversity • . . . . ASEE is committed to increasing the participation of diverse individuals in all venues where engineering [and engineering technology] is taught, practiced and supported.These include pre-college, college and industry environments as well as within professional organizations that support engineering. . . . • This statement is backed by specific participation goals (at the undergraduate, graduate, and faculty levels) for women and each URM group.
