EDI Bookcase
Our department now hosts an EDI bookcase! Staff and students can borrow a variety of fiction and non-fiction books touching on topics related to equality, diversity and inclusion. You can also suggest to us more titles you think we should add to the collection.
EDI in Engineering Module
In 2022/23, the department is trialling an optional module titled ‘EDI in Engineering’. This module is a product of an undergraduate research opportunity programme (UROP) project that proposed and designed the module.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion is an important part of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and is something we consider in our strategic decisions and everyday activities. With staff & students dedicated to the fair processing of essential activities, we strive to encourage equality in everything we do; from admissions & recruitment and supporting our existing staff and students in their studies and career ambitions, to working with other College teams and external training providers to ensure that all members of the department are active bystanders and trained in unconscious bias.
On these webpages you can find out about some of the work that the Department has been working on, in conjunction with our Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Culture (EDIC) Committee, including:
- Initiatives for staff and students
- Department actions towards Race Equality
- Information about Gender Equality, our Athena SWAN award and 2019 action plan
- EDDCC membership and key contacts
