The relation between the ProgramOutcomes and these domains has been explored in depth in the engineering education literature6,8, 19 . However, it is commonly overlooked that Bloom’s and Tyler’s theories are firmly rooted inthe tradition of behaviorist psychology and as such are based on further fundamentalassumptions in this field, which at that time exhibited quite strong epistemological andontological views. For six decades behaviorist thinking dominated the field of with the totalityof its claims to virtually eclipse the consideration of internal states of the mind from the scientificdiscussion.

We are exploring the idea of professors using inclusive teaching methods to helpstudents succeed in ECE classes. We are defining inclusive teaching methods as initiatinginteractions with students in class or office hours intended to improve their capacity, interest, orbelongingness in engineering (as defined on the tip sheet). In other words, inclusive teachinginvolves bringing typical mentoring strategies into the classroom on a smaller scale. The tipsheet gives many examples of these strategies. • So that we can get your understanding of the definition, what are some examples that come to mind when you think of inclusive

We are developing marketing and advising materials to make studentsaware of the many opportunities that are available to them to make progress toward being aWorld-class Engineer.

While thesmall class sizes offered by small schools are beneficial in many ways, limited representation ofwomen and gender non-conforming students can potentially increase feelings of isolation.Representation among the faculty has been shown to go a long way in supporting these studentsand increasing their sense of belonging [35]. This is especially important in small school settingswith few engineering professors available.

should spend more time discussing the applicationsas well as the conceptual underpinnings rather than focus solely on strategies and techniques tosolve problems. They should also introduce more ‘word’ problems as these problems arecommonly encountered in physics and engineering courses. Learning the strategies of solvingword problems in mathematics would better prepare students to solve these problems in latercourses. Faculty in physics courses should focus on helping students learn how to interpretinformation in a word problem and to set up the solution. They should also be more mindful ofnotational and representational differences between physics and engineering courses. Faculty inboth physics and mathematics courses should provide more
