data were collected viagroup administration at the first meeting in which faculty members were oriented to thedepartmental work. Post-test data were collected via an online version of the survey at least threeweeks after the departmental meetings had concluded. For the final eight departments, both pre-and post- tests were administered online. We have pre- and post-test data on sixteen academicdepartments: seven engineering departments, six natural science and mathematics departments,and three social and behavioral science departments.The specific departments within engineering include: Civil and Environmental Engineering,Industrial and Management Systems Engineering, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering,Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering
