The report may not consider the learning processstudents had during their course(s) or throughout their undergraduate program. In other words,assessment-centric self-study reports are not concerned with existing pedagogical practices anddata on how and why engineering students achieve the desired competencies of the requiredoutcomes. Given the emphasis of ABET on continuous improvement, it is surprising, andantithetical to commonly accepted quality assurance and continuous improvement processes, thatABET processes do not formally require student perceptions of their achievement of the studentoutcomes.

learning are ways of teaching that better connect the component parts of engineeringwork"8(p174). Sheppard et al. identify five key insights for rethinking the education of engineers:“Engineering work is inherently interactive and complex; Formulating problems and solvingproblems are interdependent activities; Engineering has many publics, Engineering incorporatesmany domains beyond the technical; Engineers affect the world.”8(p175) However, pockets ofinnovation suggest that transformation of engineering education is underway. In order tomeasure this transformation, it is important to benchmark the current practice, or 'signaturepedagogy', of engineering.Signature PedagogiesA signature pedagogy “organize[s] the fundamental ways in which future

He also drew on his experiences and identity as a non-native speaker when talking about his work teaching engineering, as demonstrated in thefollowing quote: “One of my students asked me, ‘Oh my god. I got a minus work, a negative work.’ ... Don't feel bad about the negative work…. This negative means that this is work out of your system, not into your system. For example, the pump work, and the rankine cycle is positive
. I guess I really wanted to do research, so I feel like this was the best school for that and I just felt like this would be the best pick for me - Kiran, U2, Biochem Out of all the other choices, I narrowed it down based on distance from the school, cause I'm a commuter. Then, the programs that I have. Back in high school, there's no question like if I'm going to college or not. I'm definitely going to college. So, U2's like my top two schools. Then, also, I love the programs with the scholarships available. - Soledad, U2, ChemEOne distinct finding that indicated a significant difference between institutions was the role ofundergraduate research experience which is very salient at U2.

In addition to using Edmondson [3]’ seven-item questionnaire forpsychological safety, CATME includes Jehn and Mannix [15]’s questions for measuringconflict, and measures of cohesion from Carless and de Paola [16] and Loughry and Tosi[17]. In appendix A, we provided all questions and sub-questions collected by CATME andused in this study.ResultsIn this paper, we used simple linear regression to measure the relationship betweenpsychological safety and the perception of students about team outcomes (conflict andcohesiveness).

that could account for constantly changing organization(s) partially due theircontinual re-organization around new goals making them ever more complex, open as a system, and thuspotentially influenced by, and influencing, an intervention (and other environment influences) in novel,unpredictable ways.We looked towards pertinent theory to help make research model decisions. A theory’s usefulness is two-fold, in particular when considering theories to study education interventions and associated change. Atheory must be able to illuminate phenomena of interest, that is, explain and predict. Yet it is also shouldbe practical, meaning potentially informing practice; in our case, this would equate to helping interventionleaders/change agents to
further actions. Reflection on experience was framed as an intentional and dialectical thinking process where a student revisited features of an experience and used one or more lenses in order to assign meaning(s) to the experience that guided future action.28 From this standpoint, reflection the students had before, during, and after the international experience were analyzed. Reflection that occurred during the interview itself did not qualify as ‘Reflection’, as the nature of the interview was to engage the students to reflect on their experiences. Thus coding this way would have been unnecessary and uninformative. 6. Inductive – refers to codes that emerged from out of the interview data, not included in the
engineering education-related awards, and type(s) of contributions to the field.Ultimately, 47 people were interviewed, with an emphasis on pioneers who were near retirementor had already retired. Resources limited the number of pioneers who could be interviewed andprofiled. Further, not all invited pioneers were interested or able to participate. We acknowledgethat this is just a sample of the many people who have substantially contributed to engineeringeducation and hope that this work can be expanded to include more of them.Data analysisAll 47 interviews were audio recorded and transcribed. Using qualitative analysis software(ATLAS.ti), the transcripts were coded for the contributions and impacts reported by thepioneers, drawing primarily on

Following thepattern of this work in progress, we offer two illustrative research questions: How should the function of faculty development be addressed at different institutional levels, e.g., departmental, college, institutional, national, and international? How are faculty engagement with and responses to formal faculty development initiatives characterized, and how might these characteristics, patterns, etc. inform future faculty development initiatives?Bibliographic Information1.
