This paper describes the framework of ongoing interventions on diversity and inclusion in an engineering classroom though Sustainability Development Goals (SDG) focused team projects. Some available literature on classroom diversity and its effect on educational outcomes is discussed. SDG-focused project-based learning and students design work products are presented.
