The '''''Conference on Diversity in Engineering''''' (CDE) is presented by the [[CFES|Canadian Federation of Engineering Students]] (CFES) in collaboration with universities from across Canada. It aims to encourage discussion and collaboration between engineering student leaders and professionals around the theme of diversity in engineering. The conference will encourage and aid students in developing knowledge surrounding the variety of individuals, cultures and perspectives found within engineering communities to better address the multidisciplinary issues of society. Their goal is to foster an open and welcoming environment that values the differences within engineering groups to improve the quality and inclusivity of engineering design. | The '''''Conference on Diversity in Engineering''''' (CDE) is presented by the [[CFES|Canadian Federation of Engineering Students]] (CFES) in collaboration with universities from across Canada.
