In just this past year, IEF supported programs have allowed for 18 dedicated workshop sessions, providing nearly six hundred total participants with focused training on anti-racism in engineering, diversity and inclusion, best practices in hands-on education and remote labs, and networking opportunities with ECE faculty at R1 institutions.

In addition, planning was conducted to develop two substantial programs – the iCASE program to support minority participation in areas that contribute to autonomous systems and the ECE@HSI program to support broadening participation for Hispanic Serving Institutions in electrical and computer engineering.
