A multidisciplinary committee of representatives fromthe Engineering Technology, Online Studies, and School of Education will validate theeffectiveness during three semesters. Throughout the entire cycle, the outcomes and findings willbe continuously reported to the committee so that corrections can be made. It is relevant tomention that a peer review committee periodically assesses each online course to evaluate thecourse’s effectiveness and the quality of the learning process. Additionally, online instructorsmust complete 45 hours of Online Faculty Training, including 20 hours on Applying the QualityMatters Rubric, as recommended in [10].ResultsDuring the 2022-2023 academic year, we
to address the research questions through the current knowledge base. The reviewcentered on peer-reviewed journal articles from the last ten years (2012-2022) on the topic ofone-on-one or small-group faculty mentoring of undergraduate students.Faculty participants in mentorship programs typically consist of professors, research assistants,and other instructors in the university setting. The faculty are paired, either formally orinformally, with a student mentee or mentees who will be under their guidance for an amount oftime. A 2016 study conducted in Turkey found that mentoring may last beyond an assignedduration, with some relationships lasting for decades (Anafarta & Apaydin, p. 27). Mentors canbe generally described as falling under

This number increased from the previous year when948,519 international students were studying in the United States [1]. Figure 1. Number of International Students in the U.S. over years.Let's first look at the fact and trend of more international students coming to the U.S. forundergraduate and graduate studies education. Figure 1 above clearly shows that the number ofinternational students is a significant part of the student population in the U.S. It is worth notingthat there is a significant decrease in student population
coreclasses, some modifications to the topics covered in the classes may be required. The PBL approach, basedon the EOP framework implemented in the CHEN and MENG courses, has the potential to be implementedin other engineering disciplines. Future studies will involve classes in electrical engineering. The findingsfrom this study show that implementing EOP frameworks in engineering curricula can be used to instillsustainable thinking in future engineers.AcknowledgmentsA part of this work was supported partly by the Proctor and Gamble (P&G) 2022/23 U.S. Higher EducationGrant titled- Data-driven Approach to Problem Solving in Engineering Education Using Greenhouse GasMitigation Experiments and Simulations, by VentureWell Grant ID-25827-22 and by

experience the new hybrid advising/mentoring model started in thefall of 2022 and are just now engaging with faculty mentors. We plan to use our exit surveys togauge student reaction to the new model and compare results from surveys of previous cohorts.We are also navigating some institutional limitations on how nomenclature related to advisersand mentors. Currently, in our student information systems, there exists definitive roles foradvisers that can be mapped and connected to students. However, there is no category for facultymentors. Hence, in official student records, there is no connection between the student andfaculty mentors.

Aspart of the grant, the authors attended a series of workshops to provide training and education onintegrating ethical training and moral literacy into STEM curricula. As such, the design of themodule was accomplished during the fall 2022 and spring 2023 semesters with the roll-out of themodule near the end of the spring 2023 semester. Several challenges were addressed during thedevelopment of the module including: (1) what component concepts of moral literacy should beincorporated, (2) how to get engineering students invested in learning more about ethics generally,and (3) how to assess their

However,many students indicated that this REU experience gave them more practical experience in graduateresearch and culture than their previous research and made them feel more capable as researchers.For example, Luis participated in another REU in 2022 at an undergraduate-focused institutionand had no interaction with graduate students while conducting his research and very fewinteractions with his research advisor. He notes that he appreciated having more interactions withhis current REU advisor: “In previous lab experience that I have, I only [saw] my [advisor] like two times… in the whole summer.

’ autonomy can enhance their motivation and engagement. In principle, webelieve it is important to ask students to show up in the classroom instead of completing thecourse content remotely. This is because in an “in-person” classroom an instructor can betterensure students make progress and manage devices correctly and students can discuss with eachother to fill some knowledge gaps.4 User Study Results and DiscussionTo support the development of personalized learning framework we conducted two surveys. Onewas a user study survey with students taking a machine learning course (Fall 2022) where ISPeLwas used as one method of course delivery. The user study survey was designed to assess howstudents used ISPeL as well as their perceptions of its
