Underrepresented and equity‐seeking groups face barriers to inclusion in research, particularly at the postgraduate levels. It is incumbent upon engineering faculty members to seek to diminish and remove these barriers. To this end, the federal tri‐council has established the Dimensions Program to help us understand and address barriers to participation in research that are related to equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI). This talk will outline the obstacles and barriers faced by equity-seeking groups in engineering research, and what we, as faculty members, can do to help dismantle them.
