Someindividual goals – for example reducing team conflicts that an instructor with a project-heavyteaching assignment will need to handle, or increasing the number of publications in the area ofresearch in engineering education – tended to be recognized after joining the team rather thanbeing a motivation for initially joining.

Developing comfort with discomfort, working collaboratively with peoplefrom other disciplines, and attaining agency through their individual talents and skills were allarenas where we saw significant student growth, particularly articulated in the Final Projectpresentations. Students also expressed gratification at the opportunity to work acrossdisciplines, learn from each other, and even share strengths with each other. For many it wasthe only class that held space for that experience in their University career. While timeconsuming to plan, the rewards for students and faculty are worthwhile

The first phase, led by a multidisciplinary team of university faculty,career scientists, staff, and supported by students, saw the implementation of a year-roundbiodiesel generation capability [7]. The project’s rationale stemmed from the institution’s sizeableagricultural operations (UMES is an 1890 land grant institution) which were undertaken by heavymachinery operating on copious amounts of traditional diesel fuel (Figure 1). Biodiesel, on theother hand, is a renewable alternative which can be produced by virgin oils extracted from oilseeds, or used oils, such as the waste oils from the university’s cafeteria.

curricular content makes a difference in shaping the beliefs and expectationsstudents hold as they transition into their professional careers. Such an assumption is warrantedgiven the way other topics appear in the curriculum. For example, if an emphasis on teamworkand problem-solving were not perceived as relevant to professional practice, then one would notexpect them to receive as much attention as they do4,5. Similarly, engineering ethics is anothersuch pivotal topic, and therefore one would expect it to appear in undergraduate courses. Yet,this is not uniformly the case.

(e.g., TexasA&M University, University of Georgia, and University of Florida). The overarching goal of forming STEM education focused programs across the UScampuses is to enhance the quality of the college students’ STEM learning experiences andattract diverse student populations to choose STEM as their careers. For this purpose, the STEMfaculty, who are the major actors in the students’ learning experiences, play a central role. It is critical to ensure that STEM education faculty in general and engineering educationfaculty in particular in the university levels are well informed about the evidence-basedpedagogies. Evidence-based pedagogies are often the ones that are student-centered and learner-oriented. An essay
