University Dr. Nadia Kellam is Associate Professor in the Polytechnic Engineering Program at Arizona State Uni- versity. Prior to this position, she was an Associate Professor at the University of Georgia, where she was co-director of the interdisciplinary engineering education research Collaborative Lounge for Un- derstanding Society and Technology through Educational Research (CLUSTER). In her research, she is interested in understanding how engineering students develop their professional identity, the role of emo- tion in student learning, and synergistic learning. A recent research project uncovers the narratives of exemplary engineering faculty who have successfully transitioned to student-centered teaching

The traineeship consists of core coursesand a suite of elective courses, co-curricular activities, professional development, and mentoring thatsupplement the research component of the program. The intent is to facilitate the development of thetrainees’ technical and communication skills, professional identities, and build professional networks. TheNRT provides fellowship funding for trainees and strongly expects participation from non-funded trainees(students that participate in all programmatic activities and complete all requirements without NRTfunding). Bridge trainees are integrated into all of SEAS activities and

can be difficult to internalizeand discuss in an open forum, the course builds towards these topics, starting out withrelatively easier topics (e.g. Mindset and Bloom’s Taxonomy) and moving towards issues ofbelonging and identity by the end of the 15-week semester.An important aspect of the course is that it is incorporated into the students’ general educationrequirements and is not an extra burden of credits taken in addition to required program andgeneral education coursework. RIT requires students to take a course that addressesidentification of ethical questions, and the Metacognition course addresses the outcomes andhas assessments that examine students’ ability to identify and address ethical scientificquestions through case study
