This award is funded in whole or in part under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-2).This project supports the initial steps to create a Center for Equity in Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin (UT-Austin) with a centering vision that diversity, equity, and inclusion are the responsibility of everyone within the university’s engineering community. The efforts as part of this project lay the groundwork for the center by focusing on recruiting and supporting Hispanic/Latino and Black/African American undergraduate and graduate students. Rather than establishing a catalog of new programs, this effort seeks to learn from partner minority-serving institutions to establish the infrastructure to ultimately support students, staff, and faculty in contributing to building an inclusive culture that provides students opportunities to develop and hone technical and professional skills while also establishing their identities as professional engineers. Funding this effort to establish a Center for Equity in Engineering at UT-Austin will strengthen the engineering workforce by providing equitable pathways for all students, with a particular focus on increasing inclusion of Hispanic/Latino and Black/African American undergraduate and graduate students.To support our vision, the center will support UT-Austin Engineering faculty, staff, and students in doing the work of DEI as part of their regular jobs and engagement in our community. The objective of the Center is to catalyze a culture change in UT-Austin Engineering by leveraging a servingness learning organization framework to recruit, support, nurture, and matriculate a diverse community of students. An important metric will be to more closely align the representation of Hispanic/Latino and Black/African American engineering undergraduate and graduate students with that of the State of Texas population of 18–22-year-olds. Our efforts are organized around three pillars: (1) new and expanded student, staff, and faculty learning opportunities around integrating equity and inclusion into engineering professional practice, teaching, and an individual’s role in the institution; (2) intentionally designed support structures that acknowledge the priorities of the institution and its individuals, consider these priorities in creating opportunities for participation in outreach and recruiting events, and provide support (including funding) for new initiatives envisioned by members of the UT-Austin Engineering community; and (3) improved and expanded expectations and accountability for all members of the UT-Austin Engineering community, including revisions to student learning outcomes, faculty review processes, staff job descriptions, and recognitions for efforts above and beyond. The information learned from this project will be disseminated to others via presentations, workshops and publications so that the best practices learned from this project can be used elsewhere.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.

该奖项是根据2021年《美国救援计划法》的全部或部分资助（公法117-2）。该项目支持在德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校（UT-AUSTIN）（UT-AUSTIN）（UT-AUSTIN）建立工程中心的初始步骤，其中心愿景具有多样性，公平和包容性的愿景，是大学工程社区中每个人的责任。作为该项目的一部分的努力通过专注于招募和支持西班牙裔/拉丁裔以及黑人/非裔美国人的本科生和研究生，为中心奠定了基础。这项努力并没有建立新计划的目录，而是寻求向少数派服务机构学习的知识，以建立基础设施，最终支持学生，员工和教师，以促进建立一种包容性文化，以提供学生发展和磨练技术和专业技能的机会，同时还建立他们作为专业工程师的身份。为建立UT-Austin建立工程公平中心的这项努力的资金将通过为所有学生提供公平的途径来加强工程劳动力，特别着重于增加西班牙裔/拉丁裔和黑人/非裔美国人的本科生和研究生。为了支持我们的愿景，该中心将为UT-AUSTING INTIALING EASTINERIG STRAINGING INKINGIRENG INKINGIRERION ENGICALING INVERIANION EXTRAIMENT和DEI的工作提供服务。该中心的目的是通过利用服务性学习组织框架来招募，支持，护士和矩阵来促进UT-Austin工程的文化变化。一个重要的指标将是更加紧密地与西班牙裔/拉丁美洲人，黑人/非裔美国人工程本科生和研究生的代表与18-22岁的德克萨斯州人口的代表。我们的努力围绕三个支柱组织：（1）围绕将公平和纳入工程专业实践，教学以及个人在机构中的作用的新学生，教职员工和教师学习机会； （2）故意设计的支持结构，以承认机构及其个人的优先事项，考虑这些优先事项，以创造参与外展和招聘活动的机会，并为UT-Austin工程社区成员设想的新计划提供支持（包括资助）； （3）对UT-AUSTIN工程社区的所有成员的提高和扩大了期望和问责制，包括对学生学习成果的修订，教职员工审查过程，员工职位描述以及对超越和超越努力的认可。从该项目中学到的信息将通过演讲，讲习班和出版物传播给他人，以便可以在其他地方使用从该项目中学到的最佳实践。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响标准通过评估来诚实地诚实地支持。
