Most significantly, to support University and CoE diversity, equity andinclusion strategic plans the orientation has been revamped to make inclusive teaching trainingmore central. In the 2017-2018 academic year, we embarked on a pilot program to learn moreabout the experiences of GSIs, and to see if the orientation was meeting their needs, especiallyrelated to the inclusive teaching professional development.

Undergraduateengineering students can fill this need by learning how to be effective leaders during theirformation as engineers. Unfortunately, many engineering students graduate with littledevelopment of leadership skills; engineering educators do not currently have asufficient understanding of how engineering students develop into leaders.This NSF ECE supported project seeks to improve educators’ understanding of the interactionbetween leadership and engineering identities in the formation of undergraduate engineers.

Computing Identity and Persistence Across Multiple Groups Using Structural Equation ModelingAbstractDespite the projected growth of computer and information technology occupations, manycomputing students fail to graduate. Studying students’ self-beliefs is one way to understandpersistence in a school setting. This paper explores how students' disciplinary identity sub-constructs including competence/performance, recognition, interest, and sense of belongingcontribute to academic persistence. A survey of 1,640 students as part of an NSF grant wasconducted at three South Florida metropolitan public universities. A quantitative analysis wasperformed which included a structural equation model (SEM) and a multigroup SEM. The

As part of alarger study on the ESI education of undergraduate and graduate students, this paper exploresESI through a hidden curriculum lens using an ex post facto design and mixed-methodsapproach.
