Abstract

It remains the case that the engineering profession fails to reflect the diversity of people impacted by its work, and issues of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) continue to be a key area of interest within engineering education research (EER). In this work we aim to understand the focus of DEI within engineering education: we applied a scientometric content analysis to EJEE and JEE articles published in 2023. Three authors independently screened each publication (using the title and abstract) for inclusion in the subsequent analysis and synthesis stage. The abstract of each paper was then evaluated to determine the primary DEI issue(s) covered. Findings indicate that DEI is currently a major focus for US scholars with 42% of the 71 publications in JEE addressing DEI in some form. Articles studying underrepresented racial groups (43% of DEI articles identified) made up the largest part of these publications while 23% considered gender related under-representation. In the case of EJEE there were fewer DEI related papers overall in 2023: 15% of the 86 publications addressed DEI in some form. Of these publications 77% referred to gender related under-representation, which suggests that this area of DEI is currently the most studied by EJEE-published researchers.
