Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

MechSE is a community of change-makers, where being inclusive of individuals from different personal, cultural and disciplinary perspectives is a prerequisite for success. Increasing the diversity of our faculty, staff, and students is fundamental to our mission of developing engineers who will work together to address major societal challenges. Doing so improves and accelerates the rate and impact of our academics, research, and reputation. We invite you to learn more about our accomplishments and efforts to create a diverse, equitable, and inclusive MechSE.
