Among first-generation college students, campus mentorscan provide meaningful messages that influence their decisions throughout their college careersand equipping them with the ability to deal with academic challenges [19]. Therefore, thesupport students receive from both faculty and peers can affect decisions to remain in theirmajor, their confidence, and their decision to remain in college.

This exercise aimed to recognize from the outset that people arrive with different livedexperiences and values, and there can be a space created for people with different perspectives toshare ideas and have conversation on social and political topics. There was recognition thatfostering discussion and facilitating personal reflection with engineering students poses a greaterchallenge than other disciplines where students are regularly expected to engage in thesepractices. Therefore, the establishment of ground rules would be especially important in order toachieve buy-in from class members and create a space where all voices would be welcomed. Forthe purposes of the

WIP: Developmental Relationships in EngineeringAbstractThis work in progress paper discusses a study exploring informal faculty development ofengineering faculty leaders. Specifically, the purpose of this study is to better understand howmentoring relationships help promote faculty career advancement. Higher education rarelydevelops the capacity of its leaders in an intentional way: “colleges and universities, unlike manysimilarly sized corporations, do not view talent development as a strategic priority” [4]. Thecomplexity of higher education, as well as the increased demands and challenges, require betterprepared leaders. Despite this need, there is little research on informal one-on-one leadershipdevelopment tactics in higher education. To

Statistics predicts growth of 13.4% from2014 to 2024 in jobs for STEM-related post-secondary teachers [1]. Women are a growingpercentage of PhDs in STEM but are not proportionately represented among assistant professors[2]; to support this employment growth it will likely be necessary to attract more women to thefaculty. Of even more significance is that STEM faculty play a critical double role in the healthand gender make-up of the future STEM workforce. Research shows that role models have animportant impact on career pathway decisions made by women engineering students [3].
