Engineering Inclusive Engineers
The SEAONC Board, in partnership with The PEER Group, is pleased to offer its membership access to two excellent on-demand webinars on Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. SEAONC has partnered with The PEER Group since summer of 2022 where Dr. Yvette E. Pearson, PE led a session at the 2022 SE3 Symposium. Dr. Pearson then facilitated two live-virtual training sessions in the Fall of 2022. These workshops were a great opportunity for anyone looking to learn more about JEDI, but are especially valuable for those wondering why we as engineering organizations should care about and focus our thinking on the value JEDI can bring to our firms. Now both workshops will be available on-demand for SEAONC members.
Session 1: Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion: A Primer for Engineers (1 hour)
- Introduction to JEDI: Moving Beyond Diversity
- Making it Matter: JEDI and Ethics
- Climate Change: Identifying Factors that are Counter to JEDI
- Taking Action: Managing Behaviors that are Counter to JEDI
Session 2: Identifying and Disrupting Systemic Inequities in Engineering Organizations (1.5 hours)
- Getting to the Roots of Systemic Inequities
- Understanding the System: Biases and Stereotypes
- Challenging and Changing: Disrupting the System
The PEER Group recommends watching both sessions in order to have the greatest educational benefit. However, watching both sessions is not required and there are still benefits to watching just one of the sessions.
Location: Virtual Workshops
Schedule: Available on-demand until June 30, 2023
Cost: Single Course $60, Both Courses $100
