It is the policy of NSPE to create a diverse and welcoming environment for everyone interested in the licensed practice of engineering. NSPE recognizes the benefits of a diverse population of licensed engineers in shaping the future of engineering. Promoting unique contributions and capabilities creates an inclusive environment resulting in more creative, effective, and technically respected results. NSPE proactively encourages diversity in all areas of the engineering profession and within the organization. NSPE volunteers and related business entities are encouraged to implement this policy in relevant position statements, operating procedures, and business practices.
