According to data from the National ScienceFoundation1 and the National Academy of Engineering2 a multidisciplinary problem-solvingapproach is increasingly a critical
resultof a multi-year process involving a Delphi study, student focus groups, and extensive betatesting3,5. The test itself is designed to address 11 distinct concepts and is comprised of 29questions, four of which were taken from the pre-existing Force Concept Inventory3. It wasdeveloped, like many CIs, with the intention of providing a valid and reliable instrument, capableof evaluating the effects of innovative or experimental instructional practices upon studentlearning3,4.Instructors at Purdue decided to supplant the existing conceptual questions on their final examwith DCI questions. An abbreviated version of the DCI had to be developed and utilizedbecause the 29-question version was considered too long for the time dedicated to
research. Done well, it enables the candidate to get graduate levelcredit while working on a project that contributes to and has a quantifiable benefit to theirindustry sponsor. For the industrial sponsor, the project is the mechanism in which a productof commercial value and impact is developed on behalf of the company. For the candidate, it isthe opportunity to apply knowledge, develop self-confidence and expertise under real-worldtime, business, performance, and quality pressure. 9The candidates write a proposal as part of the admissions process where they outline how theirproject enables them to demonstrate growth as viewed from three complementary perspectives: 1) Market Value – Specific value

As educators,then, we must have tools to measure both of these skill sets in pre-professional engineers. Propermeasurement allows educators to design appropriate educational interventions and to track thegrowth of students as they learn. Measurement data also would allow for further research intowhat effects, if any, individual ethical reasoning skills might have on a team’s ethical climate, or Page 22.1436.3vice versa.

Program development requires hands-on efforts supported by faculty and industrycollaborations. The ET-AG program is a new interdisciplinary initiative that will be expanded asboth undergraduate and graduate student populations continue to

In a review of programmatic studentsupport initiatives, Lee and Matusovich [6] presented a comprehensive analysis of diversitysupport practices, and then called for more interplay between research and practice on diversitysupport. Narrowly framed, a relationship between an empirical base and implementationstrategies might be summarized as determining “evidence-based best practices.” However, Leeand Matusovich noted that “while the practice of providing students with co-curricular supporthas been evaluated, theory

Research has shown that addressing the topics in Table 1 cansignificantly impact student retention. These workshops provide students with tools forsuccessful degree navigation as well as a network of support at their institutions, in the broaderRDI cohort, and the larger online network. Underlying every session is the understanding that students are aiming to persist in anenvironment that was not designed for them. Through our sessions, we provided validation thatfeelings of not belonging are real and valid (Gardner & Holley, 2011; Gildersleeve et al., 2011;Wood et al., 2016), but also that they can succeed with supportive tools.

,marginalized, and/or hidden identities and core experiences in engineering classrooms. Yet,many faculty are not provided with practicable resources and training that can enrich theirknowledge, empathy, and understanding of students’ diverse and marginalized experiences thatdiffer from their own. This lack of resources has slowed the transformation of engineeringculture and provides an opportunity for practical impact by researchers and faculty developers.However, the topic of developing inclusive culture remains understudied and has evadedtraditional approaches to education research. Quantitative approaches can broadly identify thepresence of marginalization or inclusion, but they lack the nuance to enhance a reader’s inclusiveunderstanding. In

SUNY LSAMP has been very successful in its mission.Together the Alliance has researched and attempted to alleviate and mitigate ongoing problemsfor underrepresented students in STEM. The Alliance has offered innovative programs anddeveloped powerful ideas to assist in the progress of its students. Faculty and staff have becomeadvocates for best practices at local and state levels.The SUNY LSAMP Research Grant reported that the Alliance was effective through many facetsof the project including continuity and the

Engineering “habits of mind” align withessential skills for citizens in the 21st century. This “habits of mind” could essentially benefit theproblem solving skills of all people for reaching innovative solutions to various challenges. Engineering design process is mostly taught to engineering students during their senior yearcapstone design course after students have acquired relevant knowledge for the design. Thus, thephase of gathering knowledge is mostly carried out in a passive instructor-centered learningmodel.

A common claim in engineering is that internships form the firststep of an engineering student’s transition into the workplace, yet little peer-reviewed evidence(quantitative or qualitative) characterizes the impact of internships on career paths at a largescale, let alone how these career trajectories might differ for students doing virtual internships.Additionally, researchers might evaluate differences, whether in design or outcomes, betweeninternships planned as virtual from the start and those that were designed in-person but becamevirtual due to extraordinary circumstances (i.e. COVID-19). Repeat surveys might indicate whatimpact the pivot to remote internships might have
