Abstract
This paper contains a summary and review of the Best Diversity Paper nominations from 2015, 2016 and 2017 – since the inception of the Best Diversity Paper, established in 2015. These papers included nominations from 35 different groups, including 30 divisions, one committee, and four regions, representing a wide-angle perspective on how individual professions study their engineering education profession as it relates to diversity and inclusiveness. Each year, the nominations resulted in five or six finalists arising from different divisions which included the K-12 and Pre-College Engineering, First Year Programs, Liberal Education/Engineering and Society, Mechanical Engineering, Entrepreneurship and Engineering Innovation, and Multidisciplinary Engineering Divisions in 2015, the Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Educational Research and Methods, Engineering Ethics, Women in Engineering Division and the Pacific Southwest Section in 2016, and the Aerospace Division, Diversity Committee, Liberal Education/Engineering & Society Division, Mathematics Division, and Student Divisions in 2017.
