For many within the CEEA/ACEG community, intentional enhancement of an educators’ knowledge, competency and comfort with equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) concepts, frameworks and integration is a key component to this mission. The EDI SIG serves as a space for interested CEEA members to engage in conversations about equity in their operational context within engineering education. Acknowledging that membership of the EDI SIG will consist of individuals with varying working knowledge and comfort with EDI frameworks, the SIG encourages members to:
- Share best or emerging practices for inclusive pedagogy, outreach, student/faculty support or access pathways
- Highlight equity initiatives happening within member institutions within CEEA
- Discuss EDI integration challenges and barriers they are personally facing or have heard others mention
- Critically discuss and examine engineering pedagogy itself through an equity lens
The EDI SIG is not positioned to be an advisory committee or implementation group for EDI initiatives for the CEEA Board. However, the EDI SIG acts as an advocate for its membership to the CEEA Board in order to highlight areas of concerns and development within the organization at the intersection of EDI and engineering education. The EDI SIG is also committed to sharing any resources curated and/or developed within the SIG community to the broader organization
