Resources
Within Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London, we aim to interweave Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) throughout our teaching and our learning environment. As such, we teach EDI in several of our core modules and have an elective module focussed entirely on EDI in Engineering.
Based on our EDI practice we have developed and implemented a variety of resources to support learning and teaching in this important area.
If you are interested in learning more about EDI, or want to embed it into your own teaching practice the links below provide materials for teaching, staff training, and wider reading.
If you don’t find what you need today, keep checking back; our collection of resources will only continue to be expanded and refined to further advance EDI. We would also welcome you getting in touch to help us identify gaps in the collection, as well as collaborations to help fill those gaps!
Here are some resources that may be helpful:
Teaching
Within our department, we incorporate EDI content through our core Professional Skills modules as well as an optional EDI module.
Click below for videos, lesson plans, lecture slides, notes and other resources for teaching EDI within professional skills modules, induction weeks, EDI modules etc.
Staff Training
An inclusive learning environment requires inclusive staff. Mechanical Engineering has carried out training for staff within the department, as well as sharing good practice more widely.
Resources in this section include workshops, seminars, and interactive sessions designed to enhance staff understanding and implementation of EDI principles.
Recommended Reading
Staff and students can explore our list of fiction and non-fiction books that delve into topics related to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. These can be used to support specific topic teaching and learning, or just to broaden your horizons and improve allyship.
We also welcome suggestions for new titles to add to our collection!
