. universities on 2,966 individual faculty assistantprofessors in science and engineering who were hired since 1990 [4]. Results showed that theretention probability of any given faculty member in science and engineering departments overtime was less than 50% [4]. Additionally, the median departure time was 10.9 years after enteringthe academic workforce as an assistant professor [4]. Due to the declining trend that U.S,- trainedPh.Ds. are less likely to secure a faculty position, universities began to collect data on the careeroutcomes and started assisting science and engineering graduate students in obtaining internshipand networking opportunities [3].Out of the instruments reported in the literature around workforce skills development, The GlobalSet

In an effort to illuminate these variations, we report on research thatexplores some details of the educator experience. In this paper we ask: what does it look like tobe an educator working to adapt an existing curriculum for a new term, in our case a curriculumpreviously taught in Autumn 2021 and adapted for use in Winter 2022?

Her mom had a friend who was a lawyer andran for office. She recalls her mom sometimes questioning her friend’s decisions, but other timesshe was very proud of her. Even though her mom left teaching to stay home, Louise thought shewould continue working once she had children (script, exploration stage). However, she didn’thave any role models or examples to guide her in how this could work. When graduating fromcollege, a pregnant woman interviewed her for a job.

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

promising findings of this research and the encouraging feedback of the student community motivated him to pursue this line of research in his NSF CAREER award in 2017. Since then, he has built a coalition within the university to expand this work through multiple NSF-funded research grants including IUSE/PFE: RED titled ”Innovation Beyond Accommodation: Leveraging Neurodiversity for Engineering Innovation”. Because of the importance of neurodiversity at all levels of education, he expanded his work to graduate STEM education through an NSF IGE grant. In addition, he recently received his Mid-CAREER award through which, in a radically novel approach, he will take on ambitious, transdisciplinary research integrating

Graduate training remains focused on preparing students to addressdisciplinary knowledge gaps valued in a shrinking pool of faculty positions.

example, teams can gothrough multiple rounds of ideating, prototyping, and testing their designs to iteratively developa solution that is co-created with community members. As another example, during producttesting the teams may learn more about the users and the community that may support anupdated definition of the problem statement. Thus, teams must document their design process tocreate a compelling set of evidence to support their design decisions and tell an impactful designnarrative.Community stakeholder participation is crucial for a successful design project. Students aretaught to use a stakeholder map to identify how individual community members are involved inthe design process. For example, some community members are highly involved

Engineering EducationIntroductionThe transition from high school to college can present significant challenges for students, creatinga need for a strong support system. In modern engineering education, mentoring has emerged asan important component in supporting the growth and success of undergraduate students. It isgenerally recognized that relationships with faculty members impact student success[1].Mentoring has gained significant attention for its role in providing personalized guidance andfostering a sense of belonging within the community.Mentors play an important role in helping students navigate academic challenges and makewell-informed decisions[2]. Furthermore, the mentor-mentee relationship establishes a nurturingatmosphere dedicated to

Oncerequired as learning outcomes, faculty would benefit from training on teaching these professionalskills and assessment methodology for professional skills development.The site has already added acquiring an entrepreneurial as a student learning outcome andteaches entrepreneurial mindset in stand-alone courses. Still, recent research suggests it shouldbe integrated into technical content. It seems dangerous to off-load these important professionalskills to be only taught outside of the engineering curriculum in either humanities or other stand-alone courses. A more integrated approach is needed. Engineering programs can consider addingentrepreneurial mindset to the engineering

Had the RAA been used, the investigation might havebeen able to better deconstruct the precise beliefs that comprise students’ attitudes andperceptions. For example, rather than survey items aimed at subjective norms and attitudes – themain constructs in the TRA [52], [53] – an RAA-based questionnaire would attempt to delineatebetween the many beliefs and factors pertinent to the doctoral process, like career goals,encouragement from family, friends, and faculty, and STEM identification [54].The scarcity of inquiries in engineering education research adopting the RAA may be attributedto its relative novelty or the frequent reuse of established behavioral theories within the

Beyond professional roles, eachperson within a network will also identify as a mentor, mentee, and peer mentor depending on therelationship with another person. From a teaching perspective, the mentorship relationshipsbetween faculty members and graduate students are crucial in developing future educators andleaders [6]. This aspect of faculty mentorship is often undervalued and essential to enhancing thegraduate educational experience.

Do participants’ critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creativity/problem solving change from pre- to post-semester in an engineering design capstone course? 2. Do participants’ self-ratings and reflections throughout the semester align with any quantitative changes resulting from question 1? 3. How do students perceive their growth in communication
