experiences within theEFRI_REM Mentoring Catalyst Initiative and identify best practices in mentorship training andcommunity building.Goals and Components of the Mentoring Catalyst Initiative The EFRI-REM Mentoring Catalyst initiative has three main goals, which are: 1) Providemeaningful and effective training of ERFI-REM faculty, graduate students, and post- doctoralmentors to impact the overall research experiences of their mentees; 2) Build a peer-mentoringcommunity for EFRI-REM mentors to share ideas and provide support for real-time mentoringissues; 3) Strengthen mentoring relationships between faculty mentors and their graduate andpostdoctoral mentees. There are four major activities associated with the EFRI-REM MentoringCatalyst

This course was an interdisciplinary introductoryengineering course. The course is traditionally taken in the first semester of the first year, so thisis one of the first experiences the students have at the college level.Literature ReviewOnline learning has consistently received limited attention from researchers in comparison totraditional classroom environments [1]. This lack of research on various virtual classroomengagement methods has made it difficult for instructors to decide how to best cater to theirstudents and how to maintain a classroom community despite changes in delivery modality.Some studies prior to the

alsorevealing evidence of increasing efforts to promote and institutionalize multidisciplinary engineering education,including courses, capstone design experiences, and entire degree programs. Yet while lots of attention has beenpaid to multidisciplinary engineering education, few if any efforts have been made to survey the overalllandscape of multidisciplinary efforts in engineering education, including to identify effective approaches andpractices. Due to this lacking and even ill-defined picture of multidisciplinary engineering education, effectiveefforts and best practices might be overlooked by both researchers and educators. To address this gap in theliterature, a comprehensive review of multidisciplinary engineering education is needed to make

characteristics, and required deliverables. Project selection criteria mayinclude fulfilling institutional objectives, matching available student disciplines with projectneeds, and fulfilling educational objectives. The faculty agreed that projects available for seniordesign would come from four sources: 1. Intercollegiate competitions 2. Funded research projects needing design development 3. Industry projects 4. Humanitarian/service projectsAdditional observations for our courses include the following: 1. A wide variety of project types have existed. Not all projects will have the same scope or requirements. Flexibility is essential. 2. Ideally, the original client should submit a written RFP (Request for

knowledge aboutthe process, but lacking confidence in procedural knowledge required in each stage of theprocess. The worksheets were developed using Bloom’s Taxonomy of hierarchical learning withthe premise of factual and conceptual knowledge would improve students’ data visualizationcapacity. Factual and conceptual knowledge maps to lower-order skills in Bloom’s Taxonomywith procedural knowledge aligning with higher-order thinking skills. The relationship betweenhigher-order skills and fact learning remains an open area for research. Agarwal [8], reportedbuilding a foundation of knowledge via fact-based retrieval practice may be less effective thanengaging in higher order retrieval practices. Agarwal used a mixture of methods (fact questions

[6]. In order for future engineers to produce efficientfunctional texts, they must acquire specific features of academic training in their undergraduateeducation that mirrors the demands of professional engineering career paths [7]. Research alsoproposes that students are lacking in projects that enhance their communication and teamworkskills [8]. This highlights the importance of the role of engineering educators as they are requiredto make careful selections of teaching material that both develops the student’s general writingskills and provides students with relevant practical experience in project-based learning andopportunities to work and write together as a team.The Technical Writing and Experimental Design course at the University of

Educational Effectiveness.Dr. Daniel J. Laxman, Arizona State University Building on existing research, I use advanced statistical analyses and research methods to answer ques- tions regarding parenting, family relations, disabilities, and other topics. I also use these skills to evaluate the effectiveness of programs. I use R and other statistical software for my analyses and reports. I am continually expanding my skill set in statistics and data science to best answer research questions. Leaders in science, policy, and business committed to evidenced-based decision-making embrace the refrain, ”Data or it didn’t happen.” I have adopted this refrain as a guiding principle in my life and work

isneeded.The National Academies of Sciences (NAS) report [10] emphasizes that using a piecemealapproach to data science curriculum development may result in content coverage but also ‘lackeducational and cross discipline cohesion’. While programs need to address data science skills,they should also prepare students for the actual ‘data challenges they will face in their careers’[10]. The NAS report also calls out the need to include high impact educational practices such asfirst year seminars, undergraduate research, common intellectual experiences (common andintegrative core knowledge), writing intensive courses, collaborative projects and assignments,and capstone courses. Important findings to note within the NAS report [10] include enhancingthe

Situated in asenior engineering design capstone course, results show that students’ VMC fluency improved.When subjected to rubric-based intervention strategies and repeated exposure, engineeringstudents gained enhanced audience awareness and practical knowledge. This study contributes tounderstanding how communication development emerges and is best fostered in engineeringstudents. Key research impacts include a feature-based model of successful VMC interactionsand recommended rubric-based best practices for curricular inclusion of VMC.As engineering students’ academic and professional lives unfold increasingly online due to theglobalization of labor, engineers will need to become fluent in using VMC to manageprofessional

university that offers bachelor’s andmaster’s degrees in engineering, business, user experience, and nursing. Unlike a liberal artscollege, students at Milwaukee School of Engineering generally declare their majors uponacceptance. Programs are designed for students to start their specialization almost immediately,with the guarantee that if they do so and stay on track, they will be able to graduate in four years.The advantages of this model are clear, mainly financial (the faster students graduate, the lessmoney they will spend). There are however some unintended consequences of this institutionaldesign that we believe need to be addressed. The following are the most salient traits of thecurrent campus culture: Utilitarian approach to learning

This program is not ABET accredited and preferable for students who do notintend on practicing engineering in the workplace, such as pre-professional degree students. Thesecond path is designed for “students who want to practice engineering around a focusedconcentration by combining or involving several academic disciplines. Both pathways involvestudents developing their plan of study or adapting a well-established plan of study and integratingtheir interests outside of engineering with various combinations of engineering disciplines.PositionalityTo illustrate the importance of providing context when situating research, I will share mypositionality as a
