The Paul M. Rady Department of Mechanical Engineering actively contributes to the CU Boulder College of Engineering and Applied Science’s commitment to create a diverse environment and inclusive culture. We aspire to engage all members of our engineering community and to meaningfully and equitably support students, facultyÌýand staff whose identities have historically been underrepresented, underservedÌýand marginalized in engineering. It is only by valuing and respecting the merits of diverse cultural backgrounds and identities that we are able to facilitate innovative and inclusive approaches to advance scientific breakthroughs, launch new technologiesÌýand educate engineers capable of addressing societal challenges. We aim to contribute to greater equity and inclusivity in engineering research and industry by equipping graduates with the knowledge and tools to be effective leaders and innovators.Ìý

Our department community and culture continue to evolve and adapt as we grow individually and collectively to be better teammates, learners, educators, researchers, colleaguesÌýand citizens. We welcome feedback and dialogue as we want all members of our community engaged. If you have ideas, suggestions, or input related to enhancing diversity, equityÌýand inclusion, please contact Janet Tsai, associate chair for diversity, equity and inclusion, atÌýjanet.tsai@colorado.edu.
