The Inclusive Engineering Consortium Stakeholders' Workshop

包容性工程联盟（IEC）计划于2019年7月在俄勒冈英特尔校园为来自历史上的黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）和西班牙裔服务机构（HSIs）的利益相关者举办一次研讨会。IEC代表了20多个电气和计算机工程（ECE）项目的集合，其总体愿景是成为少数民族服务机构（msi）的合作，共同推进ECE企业。它是一个在教育、学术和服务方面具有广泛优势的虚拟超级部门。总的来说，IEC可以像任何ECE项目一样发挥作用，通过获得单独无法获得的资源和机会，完成更多的工作，对学生、教师和工作人员产生更大的影响。对于IEC来说，这是最早期的阶段，所有利益相关者都必须充分参与创建组织支持结构和实现IEC宏伟愿景所需的初始活动。这次讲习班将使教育和教育委员会开始努力使管理学院更充分地参与美国的教育和研究事业；培养更多、更有准备的少数族裔工程师；提高msi的效率和生产力；发展可持续和有效的基础设施，以支持所有大学的少数民族学生、教师和工作人员。随着时间的推移，IEC小组将不断壮大，正在开发的模型可以复制并应用于其他学科。在过去的6年里，HBCU的13个ECE项目一直在合作，共同实施以实验为中心的教学法（ECP），以改善所有合作机构的学生学习体验。这一努力的经验教训和最佳做法鼓励13个合作伙伴扩大合作范围，以解决学生、教师和工作人员的全面学习和工作经验，并扩大该小组，以包括其他少数民族服务机构，欧洲经委会和类似的项目。最近，该小组已扩大到包括另外两个hbcu和两个hsi，并正在讨论再增加几个。这种合作成功的关键是通过定期会议，包括每周的视频会议和通常在一个伙伴机构举行的讲习班，发展一个坚实的虚拟工作实践社区；在线资源共享，以及高度协作的成果出版/传播，特别是在ASEE会议上。当最初的13个合作伙伴继续巩固和维持ECP对改善学生学习体验的影响时，新增加的小组正在开发新的技术研究合作，一个领导工作组正在探索如何为不断发展的联盟实现最有效的工作基础设施。通过确定未来成功的主要障碍，很明显，如果要像ECP这样的MSI合作作为一个整体一起工作，就需要一个新的支持组织。在电气与计算机工程系系主任协会（ECEDHA）的协助下，该小组创建了一个新的包容性工程联盟，由核心合作者和来自其他大学、行业和专业协会的更大的附属成员组成。IEC的第一次面对面会议将于2019年7月与英特尔（IEC的第一个创始合作伙伴）HBCU联盟会议协调组织。计划的会议包括广泛呼吁方案；投资于领导者/未来领导者；战略关系;基础设施;建立IEC。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Inclusive Engineering Consortium (IEC) is planning a workshop for its stakeholders from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs) to be held at the Oregon Intel Campus in July 2019. IEC represents a collection of 20+ Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) programs whose overall vision is to be a collaboration of Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) Working as One to Advance the ECE Enterprise. It is organized as a virtual super department with broadly based strengths in education, scholarship and service. Collectively, IEC can function as the equal of any ECE program, accomplish more and have a greater impact on its students, faculty and staff through access to resources and opportunities not available individually. It is the earliest of days for IEC and essential that all stakeholders fully participate in creating the organizational support structure and initial activities necessary to realize IEC's grand vision. This workshop will begin IEC's efforts to more fully engage MSIs in the US education and research enterprise; graduate more and better prepared minority engineers; increase efficiency and productivity at MSIs; and develop a sustainable and effective infrastructure to support minority students, faculty and staff at all universities. In time, the IEC group will grow and the model being developed can be replicated and implemented for other disciplines.Over the last 6 years, a collaboration of 13 HBCU ECE programs has been working together to implement Experiment Centric Pedagogy (ECP) to improve the student learning experience at all partner institutions. The lessons learned and best practices of this effort encouraged the 13 partners to expand the scope of their collaboration to address the full learning and working experience of students, faculty and staff and to expand the group to include other minority serving institutions with ECE and similar programs. Recently, the group has expanded to include two additional HBCUs and two HSIs and is in discussions to add several more. Key to the success of this collaboration is the development of a solid virtual working community of practice through regular meetings including weekly video conferencing and workshops usually held at one of the partner institutions; online resource sharing, and highly collaborative publication/dissemination of results, notably at ASEE conferences. While the original 13 partners continue to solidify and sustain the impact of ECP on improving the learning experiences of their students and the newly augmented group is developing new technical research collaborations, a leadership working group is exploring how to realize the most effective working infrastructure for the evolving consortium. By identifying the primary barriers to future success, it has become clear that a new support organization is necessary if MSI collaborations, like ECP, are to work together as one. With the assistance of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Heads Association (ECEDHA), the group has created a new Inclusive Engineering Consortium, consisting of a core group of collaborators and a much larger group of affiliated members from other universities, industry and professional societies. The first face-to-face meeting of the IEC in July 2019 will be organized in coordination with the Intel (IEC's first founding partner) HBCU Consortium Meeting. Planned sessions include Broad Appeal Programs; Investment in Leaders/Future Leaders; Strategic Connections; Infrastructure; and Building IEC.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
