Collaborative Research Intersections between Diversity

项目摘要

Efforts focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and ethics are often siloed in engineering. While generally pursued as separate lines of investigation, we hypothesize that the aims, objectives, and goals pertaining to ethics and DEI often overlap. By investigating this potential overlap, we hypothesize that we can help improve overall efforts at promoting DEI and ethics in engineering. Our primary research objective is to synthesize intersections between ethics and DEI among engineering academic and workforce communities. In this study, we begin with a systematic literature review that explores potential overlap in literature in ethics and DEI. Second, we will study how engineering academics view (consciously and subconsciously) ethics and DEI as related. Finally, we will study how industrial practitioners view (consciously and subconsciously) the potential overlap between ethics and DEI. Collectively, this study will enable us to compare how literature, academics, and practitioners view ethics and DEI as related. We will use findings to generate curricular and workforce training efforts to better integrate ethics and DEI in engineering. This study will benefit society by promoting the formation of engineers who can engage with different values and perspectives in ethical ways.Despite various models, initiatives, and pockets of innovation by scholars and programs, we have not realized widespread changes in the diversification of the engineering workforce. We theorize that one barrier to change is the disjuncture between lines of scholarship from engineering education researchers in the intersecting spaces of DEI and engineering ethics. This study seeks to find ways for these communities to support one another by making explicit hidden structural issues that mask the intersections between ethics and DEI in the context of engineering. This study is comprised of three phases, addressing the following respective research questions: (1) How are engineering ethics and DEI related based on theoretical and empirical understandings of affective and cognitive development of students and practitioners within these communities?; (2) How are engineering ethics and DEI related based on mental models elicited from academics active in these two areas of research and scholarship?; and (3) How are engineering ethics and DEI related based on mental models elicited from a diverse cross-section of industrial practitioners? To address RQ1, we will use systematic literature review procedures to synthesize peer-reviewed scholarship on approaches to, and outcomes of, interventions centered around ethics and DEI. To address RQ2 and RQ3, academics (Phase 2) and industrial practitioners (Phase 3) will respond to an ethics/DEI challenge in multiple formats, including graphically, textually, and verbally. We will critically analyze the literature and mental models via a discourse analysis approach, guided by seven building tasks identified by Gee (significance, practices, identities, relationships, politics, connections, and sign systems). We will triangulate Phase 1, 2, and 3 findings to identify how discourses vary across the academic and industrial contexts. This triangulation will enable us to generate actionable modalities for supporting educational efforts aimed at the intersection of ethics and DEI both in curricular and workforce contexts. We will adopt an activist-oriented approach to disseminate findings to the research community and professional organizations through multiple mechanisms. This will directly benefit society by facilitating the professional formation of engineers who are more ethically adept and capable of engaging with difference.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.

致力于多样性，公平和包容性（DEI）和道德的努力往往是孤立的工程。虽然通常作为单独的调查线进行，但我们假设与道德和DEI有关的目的，目标和目标经常重叠。通过调查这种潜在的重叠，我们假设，我们可以帮助提高整体努力，促进DEI和工程道德。我们的主要研究目标是综合工程学术界和劳动力社区之间的道德和DEI之间的交叉点。在这项研究中，我们开始与系统的文献综述，探讨潜在的重叠文献中的伦理学和DEI。其次，我们将研究工程学者如何看待（有意识和潜意识）伦理和DEI相关。最后，我们将研究行业从业者如何看待（有意识和无意识）道德和DEI之间的潜在重叠。总的来说，这项研究将使我们能够比较文学，学者和从业人员如何看待伦理和DEI相关。我们将利用调查结果来产生课程和劳动力培训工作，以更好地整合道德和工程DEI。这项研究将有利于社会，通过促进工程师谁可以从事不同的价值观和观点的道德方式的形成。尽管各种模型，倡议，和口袋的创新学者和程序，我们还没有意识到广泛的变化，在工程劳动力的多样化。我们认为，改变的一个障碍是在DEI和工程伦理学的交叉空间中，工程教育研究人员的学术路线之间的脱节。本研究旨在找到这些社区相互支持的方式，使明确隐藏的结构性问题，掩盖了伦理和DEI的背景下，工程之间的交叉点。本研究分为三个阶段，分别针对以下研究问题：（1）基于对学生和从业人员在这些社区中的情感和认知发展的理论和经验理解，工程伦理和DEI是如何联系在一起的？(2)从活跃在这两个研究领域的学者所得出的心智模型来看，工程伦理学和DEI是如何联系在一起的？以及（3）工程伦理和DEI如何基于从不同行业从业者中引出的心理模型相关联？为了解决RQ 1，我们将使用系统的文献综述程序来综合同行评审的奖学金，方法和结果，围绕道德和DEI的干预措施。为了解决RQ 2和RQ 3，学者（第2阶段）和行业从业者（第3阶段）将以多种格式回应道德/DEI挑战，包括图形，文本和口头。我们将通过话语分析方法批判性地分析文献和心理模型，由Gee确定的七个构建任务（意义，实践，身份，关系，政治，连接和符号系统）指导。我们将对第1、2和3阶段的研究结果进行三角分析，以确定话语在学术和工业环境中的差异。这种三角测量将使我们能够产生可操作的模式，以支持旨在课程和劳动力环境中道德和DEI交叉的教育工作。我们会采取积极主动的方式，透过多种机制向研究界及专业团体发放研究结果。这将通过促进工程师的专业形成而直接造福社会，他们更擅长道德并能够与差异打交道。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估而被认为值得支持。
