This program benefits K-12 students withtutoring, STEM competition coaching, and other support. Ambassadors learn essentialprofessionalism, communication, and leadership skills.1-6. Engineering Learning Communities (ELCs)The UCD developed ELCs, integrated with peer-mentoring, and implemented this interventionfor all scholars. The ELCs included a series of three common courses in which scholars wereenrolled, beginning with their first semester. The goal of the ELC initiative was to establish acommunity of like-minded peers and create a sense of
size to collect demographic data for students in theSURE class, allowing comparisons to other schools and programs.A potential pitfall when interpreting the results involves the specificity of the instruments used tomeasure student perceptions. The measures of belongingness, self-confidence, and academicengagement developed by Yorke [26] focus on student perceptions within an academic program.We implemented the instrument, as well as our questions about belonging in school and majorand feeling like an engineer, with this idea in mind [7]. It is difficult to directly compare thescores between these two instruments because one uses a 5-level Likert scale and the other uses a7-level Likert scale. We chose to keep the original scales for

With this in mind, we present a practicalvision for institutionalizing transformational practices as the project comes to a close amidstmulti-level transitions in leadership.IntroductionThe Revolutionizing Engineering Departments (RED) initiative provides a pathway for visionaryleaders to create groundbreaking transformations of the
with no sense of how to be a good teacher, the authors counter with this hopefulthought. "The examples of exemplary university-level mathematics professors, those whoseteaching practices are unique and engaging, make us realize that complete trivialization (ofteaching) is not inevitable." [18, p. 38] Their more hopeful tone affirms that integrated teacheridentity successfully exists and, therefore, is possible to help graduate students obtain.With this in mind, the current study aims to find what shared meanings can be found thatintegrate the professional identities of engineer, researcher, and teacher using autoethnographicmethodology. Autoethnography leverages personal (auto) experiences to study and interpretcultural or group (ethno

spatial thinking skills inundergraduate engineering students [7]. A study conducted by Wood, Goodridge, Call, andSweeten determined that an engineering statics course, the first course in a typical engineeringmechanics series, significantly improved spatial ability in engineering students [7]. Furthermore,proficiency in the statics concepts of shear and bending diagrams, vectors, and complex freebody diagrams have been correlated with spatial ability [8]. However, research on the correlationbetween the understanding of engineering mechanics concepts and spatial ability is still limited.Spatial ability is a mental construct that encompasses the skill of visualizing and manipulating2D and 3D objects in one’s mind. There are many aspects of spatial

of all majors is one way of beginning tobridge this gap.First-year students often do not have a solid understanding of engineering and its differentdisciplines. Many students enter college without a clear direction, and others will change theirmajors; thus, exposing them to different types of engineering can be valuable as they determinethe paths they want to follow. Some majors appear more human-focused than others (e.g.,biomedical engineering) and may attract more equitably minded students. Further, interest inequity topics such as social justice has been found to be higher among female students and thosefrom racial and ethnic backgrounds historically underrepresented in engineering [e.g. 5]. Thisself-selection is detrimental to efforts to

Ratherthan learning these concepts in courses, students tend to rely on their peers to navigate unclearsituations or suspicious interactions, especially with their mentors [11]. Nevertheless, this study aimed to establish foundational knowledge concerning theconcept of self-awareness by starting with STEMM faculty mentors that engage in theserelationships. Focusing on the key components in the faculty's responses that describe whatsomeone can do to be more self-aware resulted in a process that begins with a conscious actoccurring within the mind, and this act eventually becomes a thought that takes place in thephysical by way of self-regulation.
