This workshop in engineering education will bring together a panel of experts to address the chronic question of why under-representation persists in engineering degree programs. The participants of the workshop will identify the technical, social, political, and/or economic impediments to implementing decades of prior recommendations on mechanisms to enhance racial and ethnic diversity in engineering and develop potential strategies for overcoming these impediments.The results of this workshop can potentially inform more effective efforts to draw on the diverse population of the United States and thus improve both the number and quality of engineering graduates, as well as prepare a more diverse 21st Century workforce. This project overlaps with NSF's strategic goals of transforming the frontiers through preparation of an engineering workforce with new capabilities and expertise. Additionally NSF's goal of innovating for society is enabled by creating results and research that are useful for society by informing educational policy and practices.

这项工程教育研讨会将汇集一组专家小组，以解决为什么不足的工程学位课程持续存在的长期问题。 研讨会的参与者将确定实施数十年的有关数十年的先前建议，以提高工程学的种族和族裔多样性，并制定克服这些障碍的潜在策略，以使该研讨会的结果能够逐步提高各种各样的努力，从而使两者逐渐逐渐发展，以便在两者中逐渐发展，这是工程的更多努力，从而逐渐熟练，这是工程的更多努力，以提高这些障碍的结果。劳动力。 该项目与NSF的战略目标重叠，即通过准备具有新能力和专业知识的工程劳动力来改变前沿。 此外，NSF通过为社会创造的成果和研究来实现对社会的创新目标，这些结果和研究通过为教育政策和实践提供信息而对社会有用。
