The field and study of human-animal interaction (HAI) have experienced substantial and ongoing growth in scientific rigor and, public awareness. Yet, considerations for the role of diversity in the field have thus far remained limited, and efforts to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in HAI are critically needed. As one of the first steps to improving DEI is to conduct a baseline assessment, the present study sought to address two questions: (1) what is the representativeness among field leaders (i.e. directors of HAI research and education centers)? and (2) what are their perceptions about the status and importance of DEI in the field? Surveys were completed by Human-Animal Bond (HAB) center representatives and directors regarding center and director demographics, and perceived importance of DEI and diversity among professionals and clients in the field. Themes from DEI-focused discussions with expert panels at the 2021 CHAB Conference, were used to interpret and frame the implications of these survey results and make recommendations for the next steps to actively promote and support DEI in HAI. Results indicated racial homogeneity among center directors, with some limited representativeness in other facets of diversity (e.g. sexual orientation, disability, religion). There was limited perceived diversity among field professionals and the communities served, but high perceived importance of diversity in the HAI field. Finally, results suggested inconsistencies in the understanding of barriers to DEI in HAI and a lack of knowledge about strategies for promoting DEI in the field. This manuscript provides a summary of current DEI in the field along with existing resources and guidelines from DEI experts.

Engineering graphics and design teachers need a pedagogically viable teaching approach that can assist with planning and implementation procedures. This chapter explore EGD teachers' mastery of content representation (CoRe) when teaching civil drawing. A qualitative research approach was employed, and descriptive research design was used for this case study. Furthermore, Loughran notion of content representation guided this chapter through data collection and analysis of documents and semi-structured interviews. This chapter found that EGD teachers demonstrated low levels of mastery of content representation when teaching civil drawings. This was drawn from the disproportionality of their written and verbal responses. As a result, teachers could not perceive civil drawings as a means to advance equity and inclusion. This study recommended the use of a multi-user CAD (MUCAD) system which is virtual and allows for real-time collaboration with the potential to expand the learning outcomes and teaching methods for teaching civil drawing using CAD.
