The Mechanical Engineering Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee began as a taskforce in 2020 as a direct result of George Floyd’s murder. Students were looking for a place they could discuss societal and current issues with the department to help better the community for underrepresented groups in Mechanical Engineering. The mission is to create a transformative environment for all members of the MechE community, regardless of status, race, ability, gender, national origin, or other affiliations. We aim to embed this in all that we do; in classrooms and curriculum, in workshops and events, and in 1:1 and group interactions. For additional information and the full Vision, Mission and Values, you can visit our their TartanConnect Page.
Events include:
- Community Conversations
- Inclusive Teachings Fellows
