. Additionally, there has been a positive mindset shift amongfaculty members as seeing teaching innovation as less overwhelming and more manageablethrough small, incremental changes.4. Assessment 2: Climate SurveysMethod The participants consisted of faculty members (tenure-track, tenured, and academicprofessional track) and graduate students in the MEEN department. The online climate surveywas distributed 10 times between June 2021 and June 2024 (roughly 3 times per year) to theentire department (including staff members) via Qualtrics. The content of the surveys includedthe following topics for teaching and teaching innovation: means efficacy (i.e., are theresufficient resources), self-efficacy (i.e., do I believe that I am capable of this

Faculty members were added to the knowledge graph using the text of theirbiography published on their departmental website or faculty directory to generate thecorresponding instances.The SSKG currently contains 136 individual instances. 6. Answering Questions with the Student Success Knowledge GraphTo enable question answering from the knowledge graph, the competency questions were mappedto SPARQL [23] queries. SPARQL queries enable the retrieval of data that matches a subgraph(Fig. 5) from the SSKG knowledge graph. Our first step towards question-answering in SSKGinvolved using the HERMIT reasoner [24] in Protégé and the Snap SPARQL [25

Introduction:International students are a critical part of enrollments of graduate education at US universities,especially in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. TheInstitute of International Education's 2021 Open Doors report reveals that, in the academic year2020-2021, the US hosted a total of 914,095 international students [1]. This data emphasizesthe significant role played by international students in the graduate education landscape of theUS. The report further highlights that a
required material, lacking training and familiarity with EBIPs,and managing the perceived time demands needed to prepare EBIP integration into their courses.Notably, these challenges may be addressed through boosting faculty resources at theinstitutional level. Numerous studies have highlighted the role that institutional resources canplay in encouraging faculty adoption of EBIPs. For example, Brent, et al. [32] offered theSUCCEED faculty development model that includes multiple features such as a facultydevelopment coordinator, campus-wide faculty development programs, learning and networkingopportunities, programs for new faculty and graduate students, and institutional incentives.Taken together, these efforts could target the common concerns

, which is our area. And the thing that is very obvious is that it's kind of a male-dominated area. And because my class out of 22, I just had 4 female students. And even though there is a lot of interest nowadays because of the CHIPS and Science Act, the area is growing but, I mean, it's still male-dominated. (Jacob)After the training, participants continued to recognize the need to create an inclusive classroomenvironment and have now identified specific strategies for doing so. Faculty are seeing theimportance of their role in not only teaching technical skills to engineers, but also empoweringtheir students to take ownership of their learning, showing the context and application of theskills they are learning, and
ChatGPT”, highlighting a concern about students relyingon AI instead of their own understanding.Many survey respondents expressed concern about the use of GenAI, particularly in relation toacademic integrity and its potential impact on student learning. Similar concerns were echoed inthe interviews, where participants frequently cited cheating and the risk of students relying tooheavily on AI instead of developing their own understanding. Both data sources revealed ashared apprehension about the ethical and learning outcome implications of GenAI use and thechallenge of maintaining a balance between leveraging its benefits and preserving core learningobjectives.Figure 5.
