The methodology is meant to guide evidence- based decisions on the appropriateness of models to mentorship for meeting known mentorship program goals. • Explore: Two independent case studies, one long-standing (and sunsetting) in an undergraduate engineering program for first-year students and a second, newly implemented program for faculty at career transitions operationalized from within an engineering department, are explored to demonstrate application of the Mentorship Program Logic Tree.2 BackgroundMentorship can be

, female students reported much less interest in pursuing a career in the Navy andcompleting the certificate program than male students.These results may be interpreted as the students thinking more critically about their willingnessto commit to a decision as the object of the decision becomes more concrete. Whereas there isno cost to possessing an interest in naval S&T challenges faced by the Navy, most studentswould need to make a decision on completing the certificate program within about a year ofcompleting the survey in order to avoid graduation delays, and it would be too late for somestudents that completed the survey. Nevertheless, the level of interest suggests that other barriersto participation may exist, which may be mitigated

(Coutinho et al., 2017). Another study by Reeping et al. (2018) explored instructorsin an electrical and computing engineering department on their curricular decisions during areform of the program. They found four themes (valuing system thinking, valuing adaptability,seeing students struggle between values of concrete and abstract, and noting students’ lowtolerance of ambiguity) that explain how instructors decide on teaching essential knowledge inthe field. Many other studies explore the topic of teaching decision-making, with some focusingon having instructors adopt certain classroom approaches (Jarvie-Eggart et al., 2021; Moore etal., 2015). Many of these studies inherently lead to understanding of the beliefs behind thesedecisions. Another

; BackgroundThere exists a great variety of research communities which aim to improve engineeringeducation through innovative, evidence-based practice. While many of these researchcommunities work to develop new educational strategies with great success, there appears to be amissing link: that between the dissemination of evidence-based educational strategies and theiruse in an actual educational environment. Although new pedagogical methods continue to bedeveloped, tested, and published, instructors can often struggle to fit them into their classrooms[1]-[3]. This gap is influenced by a few factors: resources available to faculty members [4]-[6], afaculty member’s willingness to make changes to their pedagogy [7]-[8], and the social networks(or lack

IntroductionAs organized in the Cold War and perpetuated with funding from federal agencies such as theNSF, NIH, etc. [1], [2], traditional graduate student research is often limited to an academicscope--for the advancement of graduate advisors, the continuation of students’ academic careers,and/or to be published in academic journals. Yet this knowledge rarely reaches impoverishedcommunities in need of research findings and undergraduate students eager to turn graduate-levelresearch into design and service-learning projects, especially in languages and formats that canmake it accessible and

In these cases, it's common for thefaculty members in these groups to be randomly assigned and receive the benefits of peerfeedback on their research [25, 26]. However, there is the possibility to get paired with people ofdifferent disciplinary interests and motivational levels. Despite a seemingly successfulbeginning, the lack of motivation, monetary benefits, and similar education or researchbackground still possess challenges.This professional development experience, an entrepreneurially-minded SOTL virtual writinggroup, overcomes these barriers through
