Further, there had been a couple of experiences atconferences in my professional field where other researchers dismissed or diminished ourgroup’s work. I was experiencing Imposter Phenomena9 episodes during conferences that hailedback to my days in graduate school. My students and I had recently received a scathing,unprofessional review for a manuscript10 and my satisfaction with the research treadmillplummeted, I came to the conclusion that I should instead focus on commercializing our workso that it didn’t remain buried in the literature and could be translated to improve society. Thesecond conclusion I came to was that if my

Internships andcooperative opportunities (although the latter are not discussed in this paper) have long beenlauded as a meaningful practice for increasing student retention in computer science andengineering [14]. In fact, some research has found that a single internship experience cansometimes mean the difference between taking a job after graduation or choosing another field[15]. Generally, these experiences are representative of what a student might be doing in thefield as they learn the various tools, practices, and workflows of industry. Beyond hands-onpractice in the field, in a 2013 study, Samuelson and

Thegroup now consists of tenured professors, associate professors, librarians, and two of theUniversity’s first teaching professors that have been promoted to the associate level.This paper will explore best practices for forming and maintaining similar peer mentor groups.Topics covered will include group composition, meeting structure, process for new membership,and group expectations. Themes that the group has grappled with include teaching strategies atvarious scales in STEM, mentoring graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, cultivatinghealthy relationships with colleagues and collaborators, navigating university politics as womenin STEM

But where is it guiding us?Robyn Paul, University of Calgary Robyn Paul is a second-year PhD student at the Schulich School of Engineering at the University of Calgary. Her work is looking at using best practices from ecofeminism to deconstruct the culture of engineering education and bring awareness to engineering’s hidden curriculum. Robyn also has a master’s degree in engineering education where she studied engineering leadership education, and she has managed the engineering accreditation process for three years at her University.Prof. Laleh Behjat P.Eng., University

One is studying how strategies of engagement and feedback and internet tool use affect conceptual change and impact on students’ attitude, achievement, and persistence. The other is on a large-scale NSF faculty develop- ment program and its effect on change in faculty teaching beliefs, engagement strategies, and classroom practice. Recent honors include coauthoring the ASEE Best Paper Award in the Journal of Engineering Education in 2013 and the ASEE Mike Ashby Outstanding Materials Educator Award in 2018.Prof. Keith D

There should be effortsimplemented immediately to eliminate this behaviour. Mandatory training of university teachingstaff to identify and prevent discriminatory behaviour may be effective as a preliminary measure.Further research will be necessary to identify best practices of eliminating gender discriminationfrom university teaching staff.Limitations & Future Work Given time constraints, behavioural persistence was not measured.

They ask questions of company representativesand learn best practices for success in landing offers and thriving in their workplaces.The success of Beam Village is evident in the large numbers that enroll in college, oftenpursuing non-traditional majors, which they previously thought they would not like or could notmaster.

Mississippi State University’s (MSU) Bulldog Bytes K-12 computing andcybersecurity outreach program has engaged over 1000 informal computer science learners since2013 [4,9,10,11]. With increasing gaps between the number of computer science graduates and thenumber of unfilled jobs in computing, it is imperative that we discover opportunities for increasingentry and retention of persons traditionally underrepresented on computing pathways.For this project, the authors considered best practices from Bulldog Bytes
