. The preferredpresentation method is Lightning Talk.IntroductionLecturers, also known as teaching or professional-track faculty, have served a significant role forseveral years at the engineering college at our large, research institution. Their value has onlyincreased with steadily climbing student enrollment, combined with demand for more time forresearch and administrative duties by tenure-track and tenured faculty: a shift occurring broadlyacross the academic landscape [1]. An active, university-wide union for lecturers creates theassumption that their collective voices and needs are represented “above” the college-level, butthe union has limited resources to support the needs of the growing population of lecturers withinthe college

Although they oftenhave good intentions to help students succeed, faculty often attribute the academic barriers to thestudents’ lack of preparation, motivation, or effort to learn. Research studies [1] showed that thisdeficit mindset of instructors negatively impacts the students’ self-efficacy and hinders theiracademic growth. A recent report from the National Academies [2] highlighted the need to createa learner-centered culture that “meets students where they are.” This raises an important yetchallenging question for faculty development: “What can be done to help transform facultyperception to achieve such cultural change?”As a Very High-enrolled Hispanic Serving

The shift from the iconic“(a) thru (k)” student outcomes to the newly minted “(1) thru (5) plus one [1]” may havebeen an improvement, but the effort involved in the transition at the program level has beenhuge. Furthermore, a major disconnect continues to exist between the vocabulary used inindustry (affecting part-time faculty) and that used by accreditation professionals.

Balancing of an inverted pendulum on a cart has become a classical problemused in teaching control engineering, and for evaluating controller designs for under-actuatedsystems.

Making assumptions and discretizing elements are part of engineering judgment [1].Engineering judgment is defined as “judgment to make a final call on the reasonableness of theanalysis or design” (p.287, [1]). In practice, engineering judgment can be equated to expertise,which is developed as an engineer spends more time in the profession.This study is part of a larger project studying students
