Summary: The history of look-a-like and think-a-like engineers means those who look or think like a “stereotypical engineer” may feel more welcome in engineering and may be why engineering has attracted and graduated similar students. This workshop considers the unique ways of being, thinking, and knowing—what we call latent diversity—that can be highlighted and valued. We will explore these through students’ narratives and engage educators in reflecting on ways to promote inclusion.
