Diversity
- The ME Fall Festival, sponsored by the department’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Working Group, celebrates the diversity of cultures within the department.
- Ahmed Ashmaig (MechEngr'23), the president of ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder's chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), has received the university's Ripple Award. The award is given by the ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder's Center for Inclusion and Social Change in collaboration with the Dennis Small Cultural Center.
- The future of engineering at ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder is one of inclusivity, diversity, and resilience. Since our first female graduate in 1903, our women students and faculty have stood on the cutting edge of research and innovation. We celebrate our past
- The Committee for Equity in Mechanical Engineering invited freshmen from Arrupe Jesuit High School to campus, where they built robots and toured the Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory.
- The racial reckoning in summer 2020 led to an awakening in our consciousness – a need for everyone to look inward and tackle our own unconscious biases. Professor Janet Tsai is asking students to question these preconceived notions when it comes to mechanical engineering as well.
- The Department of Mechanical Engineering’s Fall Festival highlights the holidays and observances that various groups recognize during the fall season. Students, faculty and staff joined to share their own traditions.
- The Committee for Equity in Mechanical Engineering wants to expand its outreach in the 2021-22 academic year and needs help to do it. The only qualification to join the team of graduate students is a willingness to be open.
- The full-time graduate students of STEM Routes – a student organization founded in 2018 and run by traditionally low-income, under-represented and first-generation graduate students – provide invaluable mentorship to the next generation of first-generation and underrepresented graduate students in STEM.
- What does a ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä engineer look like? Let us show you! The Department of Mechanical Engineering and entire College of Engineering and Applied Science, in collaboration with the BOLD Center, has joined the #ILookLikeAnEngineer campaign to showcase the diverse range of people who pursue engineering.
