“Inclusive Micro-Moments”

Context: A multi-disciplinary team in aerospace is discussing a new prototype design.

Event: Sofia, a junior female mechanical engineer, suggests a modification to improve safety. The senior engineers barely acknowledge her.

 

Later, a male colleague repeats the exact idea, and the supervisor praises him.

​

Context: A university-hosted engineering hackathon team is brainstorming solutions for a sustainability challenge.

​

Event: Mei, an international student, proposes a data-driven approach that incorporates local community input. The team quickly moves on, assuming it’s “too complicated.”

 

Later, a domestic student suggests a simpler solution, and it’s immediately accepted.

Context: A chemical engineering lab team is testing a new reaction process.

Event: Leo, an autistic intern, notices a potential safety risk but hesitates to speak up because the team is dominated by extroverted voices.

 

The warning is ignored, and a minor chemical spill occurs.
