At the end of the process, participants develop an actionplan to address their concerns about the study’s topic and disseminate the photographs tocommunity stakeholders [12]. Photovoice has been widely used in public health [13], but it isbecoming a popular research strategy in engineering [14]–[17].The objective of this pilot study was to explore the experiences of Black undergraduateengineering students using photovoice. The research questions guiding this work were: 1) What does it mean to be a Black student at the University of Florida? 2) What does it mean to be a Black engineering student

someone memorable. After looking over my resume, the first question they asked was if I could explain what “a focus in sustainability” meant. They had never heard of a sustainability designation and were intrigued by the unique skillset I could bring. … They were impressed by the curriculum, and … [o]ne interviewer said, ‘I wish I had that when I was in school.’ I became memorable.”L. S.

[S]o I had to seek feedback on both sides…in terms of the [first field of study] world, how am I doing? in terms of [second field of study], how am I doing?.. [T]he issues I had [with P&T] were related to that. How you’re reviewed when you’re …. interdisciplinary is a headache.” [R7]As R7 illustrates, faculty with interdisciplinary research are often evaluated by faculty across twodepartments and must uncover the hidden curriculum in both. In other cases, faculty are expectedto meet tenure expectations that may be

This program positions undergraduate students to work in the industryfor one, two, or three six-month cooperative education experiences. The number of Co-op cyclesdepends on whether a student prefers to graduate in 4 years (2 cycles), 5 years (3 cycles), or choosesto enter a combined BS/MS program (1 cycle). Co-op provides students with real-world employmentopportunities to develop expertise in their area(s) of interest. Students apply what they have learnedin the classroom and try out aspects of a

They are typically direction-checking and/or educational in nature. • Presentations – There is an audience of more than one person (typically >4-5). These are typically longer in duration than an update, such as a topic in a staff meeting, and are accompanied by slides and/or documents. The objective can be for decision-making or education.They were then asked to rate the importance of

The current model ofSTEM PhD was designed at the end of World War II (WWII), when a report by Vannevar Bush[1] set the direction of federally funded scientific research in the USA. It considered curiosity-driven basic research as the starting point from which technological applications emerged throughbasic research → applied research → development → production → marketplace. This model ofresearch as well as doctoral training appeared to work well when there was steady growth of basicresearch at private companies until the early 1990’s, the golden era of (corporate) research [2,3 ].Then the US industrial research enterprise
SelvesThe psychological concept of possible selves, developed by Hazel Markus and Paula Nurius,examines how people use both positive and negative imaginations of the self to guidemotivation, behavior, and identity construction, including ethical formation [4]. According to theauthors, possible selves facilitate self-knowledge informed by “the ideal selves we would verymuch like to become” as well as “the selves we are afraid of becoming” [4]. As such, possibleselves function as “cognitive manifestation[s]” of persistent “goals, aspirations, motives, fears,and threats” and operate as “the essential link between self-concept and motivation” [4].Importantly, the authors argue that the possible selves people construct, though numerous andvaried, are
