Hence, a sense ofsolidarity and mutual respect addresses the last component relational ethics in terms of thisresearch [18].5. Co-Authors' Narratives and ExperiencesGiven the diverse backgrounds of faculty, we have outlined different perspectives and experiencesof each faculty including a personal narrative focusing on specific challenges and experiences inU.S. academia.

For example, mentors may provide assistance withcourse planning, share career goal
in engineering, competency development, and understanding the experiences of traditionally marginalized engineering students (e.g., Latinx, international students, Indigenous students) from an asset-based perspective. Homero’s goal is to develop engineering education practices that value the capital that traditionally marginalized students bring into the field and to train graduate students and faculty members with the tools to promote effective and inclusive learning environments and mentorship practices. Homero aspires to change discourses around broadening participation in engineering and promoting action to change. Homero has been recognized as a Diggs Teaching Scholar, a Graduate Academy for Teaching

Open to all with free participation and registration, thisinitiative aims to make a significant impact on representation of Hispanic faculty. By offeringvaluable insights and resources, the conference seeks to empower early career faculty membersand enhance their professional journey. The provision of free participation not only breaks downfinancial barriers but also contributes to fostering a more inclusive academic community.Importantly, this initiative recognizes the profound influence of diverse faculty onHispanic/Latinx students, offering them positive role models and mentors.

Paper ID #42477Bridging the Gap: Exploring Real-Life Experiences of Engineering Facultyin Implementing EBIPsStephanie Adams, Oregon State University Stephanie Adams is currently enrolled as a doctoral student at Oregon State University, where she is working towards her PhD in Civil Engineering with a concentration in Engineering Education. Her current research focuses on the adoption of evidence-based instructional practices (EBIPs) among engineering faculty members. Additionally, she is investigating the identity development of engineering students in capstone courses.Dr. Shane A. Brown P.E., Oregon State University
inhospitable to transitions and career paths that fall outside the dominant narrative ofthat story.This research explores the professional transitions experienced by an engineering facultymember across role types, discipline affiliations, and institution types. Though personal andfamilial transitions were also occurring, the scope of the research is major professionaltransitions initiated by an engineering faculty member (e.g., change in institution, change indepartment, change in role title or type), rather than those related to tenure and promotion,administration, and retirement. Existing studies of faculty transitions tend to focus on careerprogression for tenure-track faculty members, transitions into the academy, transitions into thediscipline of
reveals significant gaps in the literature, particularly withinthe field of engineering.The engineering field is often characterized by markedly different working requirements thanother fields, which presents unique challenges for engineering faculty, particularly juniorengineering faculty. These experiences have not been thoroughly investigated [3], [4]. Juniorengineering faculty must navigate complexities in research, teaching, and identity developmentwithin the academic environment [4]. Most studies of STEM-related mentorship focus onundergraduate students, graduate students, and, to a lesser extent, postdoctoral researchers [5].The lack of exploration into the challenges engineering faculty encounter in their early careerstages reinforces the
