Title: Eponyms Matter: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for Quality in Engineering Sciences.
Authors: PETERSON, M. L.1

Subject Terms: *Scientific communication, Newton's laws of motion, History of science, Ground penetrating radar, Ohm's law
Abstract: The article "Eponyms Matter: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for Quality in Engineering Sciences" discusses the historical tradition of naming equations, constants, and units after individuals in engineering science. It highlights the lack of representation of underrepresented or non-European scientists in these names and suggests replacing eponyms with technically descriptive names to reduce bias. The article also emphasizes the importance of inclusivity in engineering education by incorporating diverse historical figures and processes rather than relying on eponyms. Overall, the elimination of unnecessary eponyms can enhance understanding, interdisciplinary communication, and inclusiveness in engineering and science. [Extracted from the article]
