Dear CEE community,
The CEE Committee on Diversity and Inclusion is proud to offer a new7 seminar-based course entitled “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Civil and Environmental Engineering” in Spring 2022. We will host seven speakers who will share their expertise on topics such as LGBTQ+ inclusion in engineering, gender equity in access to energy, environmental justice in the Flint catastrophe, infrastructure accessibility and DEI training in the engineering curriculum. The talks will be remote and open to the whole CEE community. The roundtables between the talks will be reserved to students enrolled in the class. We will be meeting as a cohort every Wednesday 5pm-6pm. A draft syllabus is attached. The scope of the course and a detailed syllabus for the writing assignments will be posted later.
