Diversity in Engineering (DivE) advocates for the retention, inclusion, and interests of systemically marginalized groups in engineering. Through research, programming, outreach, and promotion of best practices, we take an intersectional approach to achieve a supportive environment that fosters the growth and learning of all students. DivE offers a welcoming, educational, and supportive environment for students to meet like-minded peers and work towards a brighter future for engineering. Our main external events are panels where we talk to industry members about facets of identity, and internally we foster important conversations about self and engineering and host events to build community. 

Diversity in Engineering began in 2017 to combat diverse issues in the Faculty of Engineering that result in and/or are caused by a non-inclusive environment and to amplify the voices of underrepresented groups through events, advocacy, and supporting local charities with similar values & goals. Specifically, our goals include:

1. Creating systemic and cultural changes in Engineering through advocacy, research, and outreach.

2. Using transparent research methods to monitor and measure diversity and inclusion among students in the Faculty of Engineering.

3. Empowering, encouraging, supporting, and involving students of all backgrounds.

4. Engaging and consulting with external stakeholders and groups with intersecting goals.

5. Creating a supportive, accessible, and transparent network of advocates and allies within the Faculty of Engineering.

6. Using our work to create policy recommendations to active stakeholders with the capacity to create the necessary changes to improve diversity and inclusivity in engineering.
