The study is anchored by a research question:what student-centered teaching approaches do exemplary engineering instructors employ topromote knowledge-building in their courses, and how do these approaches align with theirbeliefs about teaching?Data CollectionTo address the research question, the study employed the participatory action research (PAR)methodology, which prioritizes the invaluable input and expertise of participants. The PARapproach is best suited for this study because it actively improves social practices [10], involvingparticipants in designing data collection, reflecting on data, and testing identified practices intheir own contexts.

Research has shown that graduate students’ educational experiences aresignificantly impacted by their relationship with their adviser, yet this relationship is one of themost frequently mentioned challenges by international students. Based on the literature review,we argue that being aware of intercultural competence is essential for STEM faculty to providepositive advising experiences for international graduate students. Despite the promise ofintercultural competence promoting effective and healthy advising relationships, there islimited literature about its use at the graduate level in STEM. Because of the huge participationof Chinese students in the US educational system, this paper includes a fictional

The research objectives center on examining the real-life experiences ofengineering faculty as they implement innovative teaching methods, such as EBIPs, in theircourses, aiming to gain a better understanding of the limited integration of these practices. Thispaper shares initial insights derived from exploratory interviews with engineering facultyregarding their adoption of EBIPs. This report highlights three engineering faculty (n=3) who havegenerally experienced success in implementing EBIPs within their classrooms.

allows a gateway to improved learning andbroadening participation as engaging in SoTL requires faculty to think more critically as they adoptand disseminate research-based practices. However, the vast majority of disciplinary engineeringPhD programs (e.g., non-Engineering Education programs) do not prepare graduates for teachingand/or disseminating best teaching practices through the scholarship of teaching and learning(SoTL) [7]. As a result, the limited teaching preparedness of new college and universityengineering educators has the potential to turn students off from engineering [8], which directlyimpacts retention and completion rates [9].Several factors potentially contribute to this problem.
