Abstrakt: The historical exclusion of Black and Brown students from engineering can be linked to systemic racism embedded into engineering education. Rectifying this issue will require Colleges of Engineering to adopt a holistic change strategy to overcome this challenge. While existing scholarship has explored the barriers racially/ethnically minoritized students face in engineering and the change strategies that promote pedagogical innovations in engineering education, this CAREER project sits at the intersection of both topics. This CAREER Award is a multi-case study exploring five institutions that serve as exemplars for recruiting, retaining, and graduating the most Black and Brown undergraduate engineers over a recent decade. This executive summary presents insights about the first year of this study and is organized around four key topics: the project design, two key outputs of year one, preliminary insights from year one's pilot interviews, and looking ahead to year two.
