2020 “Taste of EDGE”

  • Deans Panel

The 2020  “Taste of EDGE” webinar was held on Wednesday May 6. The format for this year’s event originally scheduled to be held at EDI in Las Vegas, was revised in response to COVID-19. Link to recording below.

Deans Panel Discussion on the COVID-19 Crisis: Challenges and Opportunities in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

A candid conversation with a panel of  engineering deans moderated by Dr. Yannis Yortsos (USC), Dr. Sharon Walker (Drexel University), Dr. Scott Ashford (Oregon State University) , Rudolph Buchheit (University of Kentucky).

The unprecedented COVID-19 crisis has disrupted engineering education at a fundamental level. This session will explore challenges as well as opportunities associated with Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) at the faculty level, and how engineering schools address them. Examples include: (1) working from home while also caring for dependents (children, elderly); (2) opportunities for mentoring and growth; (3) on-line vs. in-person engagement; (4) research productivity and growth. We will also address DEI issues in a post-Coronavirus future.
