ASEE Engineering Deans' Gender Equity (EDGE) Initiative

The issue of diversity is critical for ASEE and our members, and reflects ASEE’s core values. ASEE recognizes that to optimize innovation and global competitiveness, the engineering community must actively encourage, support, engage, and advance a diverse, equitable, and inclusive community. Currently barriers exist to full engagement in engineering by underrepresented groups such as women, especially women of color. ASEE's Engineering Deans’ Gender Equity (EDGE) Initiative, a 3-year program funded through a 2018 National Science Foundation ADVANCE Adaptation award (# 1760002), provides tools, strategies, and resources to support academic engineering deans in identifying and removing barriers impeding recruitment, retention and advancement of diverse women in engineering higher education.
