The College of Engineering encourages faculty and students to partner with UW internal and external partner organizations serving communities who have been historically excluded from educational justice and science and engineering fields (eg. women, persons with disabilities, low-income, and ethnic groups—blacks, Hispanics, and American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiian, and Asian and Pacific Islander).
