campusculture [9], [10]. In these studies, campus culture considered (1) classroom experiences, (2)faculty-staff relationship, (3) institutional support services, (4) peer interactions, (5) studenteffort to learn, (6) goal development and management, and (7) institutional commitment. As aresult, we integrated these components of campus culture into our understanding of institutionalclimate to ground our data collection approach and provide a helpful framework for uncoveringways in which institutional climate can impact how a Black HBCU undergraduate engineering orcomputing student navigates their post-graduate planning and decision-making.Identity and SuccessUnderstanding how an institution’s culture and climate support students’ personal identities is

fully online or return to campus for a hybrid learningenvironment in the fall 2020 semester. Approximately 10 percent of students chose the fullyonline option for the fall 2020 semester. The university released safety guidelines for in-personand hybrid events, such as approval requirements for student organized events, maximumnumber of attendees, and restrictions on outside visitors. These guidelines were updatedthroughout the course of the semester as county guidelines changed.Data Collection Our research team comprised two graduate students and one faculty member.

. SNA allows students to examine how they participate in an informalatmosphere by equal participation [4]. Bruun et al. explored how self-reported studentinteractions can be viewed as meaning-making processes and use this to understand howquantitative measures that describe the position in a network, called centrality measures, can beunderstood in terms of the interactions that occur in the context of a university physics course[5]. Applying social network analysis (SNA) to measure student experiences, Dou et al. found acorrelation between the role of the students in their social network classroom and enhancedproduction of self-efficacy [6].Social media has been an immense influencer for making decisions nowadays [7], [8].

Paper ID #34551Conceptualizing Faculty Adaptability in Enacting Curricular ChangeHadi Ali, Arizona State University Hadi studies the influence of the future of work on curricular innovation, with a focus on exploring the relationships between and among adaptability, risk taking and value making. In an effort to characterize engineering education as an (eco)system for creating value, Hadi’s approach integrates analytical methods of data science to address changes in systems and society. More broadly, Hadi is interested in examining how engineering innovations mobilize social and economic change. Hadi has graduate degrees

.— AthenaDemanding advisors who lacked a robust work-life balance and failed to instill a passion for theirresearch in their graduate assistants presented participants with an undesirable career model inacademia. Participants whose advisors were yet to attain tenure exhibited the most acute disdainfor a future in academia. Students in this situation began to question their desire to becomefaculty, which caused them to reevaluate why they were pursuing a doctorate at all.The relationship participants had with their advisors formed a crucial component of theirexperience. Most participants spoke about their frustrations working with faculty memberswhom they did not perceive as being held accountable for subpar mentorship and, in some cases,exploitation of

onschedule, encourages consistent communication amongst students and professors. For mostprojects, the amount of work is so large that one person alone cannot handle it [9]. That is why ateam is required. A team’s success is also strongly dependent on team culture. A strong teamculture relies on effective communication, vision, and trust [10]. While educators recognize theimportance of project management and team culture, simply relying on the capstone experiencefor students to naturally develop, practice, and master this skill set may not be prudent. Studentteams regularly fail to meet faculty members’ expectations in terms of project management andstruggle to develop a productive team culture. This deficit can be addressed in many ways butfirst

as nonevidence.In terms of direct evidence, Trent provided one example. Specifically, he used his own personalexperience as being a person of color as an analogy to what women might experience inengineering (see 3 in Table 2): “You know, leveraging lived experience, if I sit here long enough, I can identify points of discrimination inequity. Looking for another word...bias...ironically, effectively along each point of my professional journey.”Because Trent used his personal experience to draw an analogy between the experiences ofwomen and people of color, we categorized this piece of evidence as direct evidence.6.1.2.

career fairs can facilitate connections toprofessional opportunities, communication of professional competency (e.g. during interviews) isvital to successfully landing those opportunities. In the long-term, internalizing andcommunicating professional experiences is critical to being an effective lifelong learner, which isrecognized as an important competency for engineers [7]–[9]. Developing an ability to reflect onday-to-day professional situations and recognize opportunities for self-improvement andadaptation is a first step in pursuing additional professional training (e.g. professionalcertifications, graduate course work, professional seminars).Unfortunately, student engagement with technical and professional competencies often occur

Wider scale studies andcross-institutional engineering-specific studies can provide additional evidence for understandingthe mental health issues faced by our students and how engineering education plays a role inthem and their ability to address such issues timely. Aligned with that objective, this studypresents an initial exploration of the relationship between the stigma typically associated withmental health conditions and help-seeking behavior of students. It is a first step toward a morethorough examination of the engineering culture and its effect on students’ mental health.Engineering culture and mental

and alumniperceptions might differ. Although we will also be using student surveys and focus groups in thisproject, we decided to start with program alumni as we feel they are uniquely well-positioned todiscuss their learning experience in the program with a juxtaposition to their career and graduateschool experience, and speak to the relevance of the program’s teaching and learning approachesbeyond the program itself. Comparing faculty perceptions with alumni perceptions is key indistinguishing between the intended and the enacted curriculum [19], [20].To engage in this research, we sought previous research on comparing instructor and alumniperspectives.

Problems cannot be solved from one scenario or angle. Wewill always need other eyes to explore other ways of solving challenges. The most importantqualities of having an inclusive curriculum are to consider flexibility and clarity when designing ordeveloping the curriculum.Another article [31] talks about a case study of redesigning the

[7]. TheCommunity of Inquiry Framework [11] uses social constructivism to outline three importantcomponents within online courses that contribute to student development and learning: socialpresence, cognitive presence, and teaching presence. Social presence can be defined by theability for group members to project themselves socially and emotionally, as “real” people (i.e.,their full personality) [11]. Cognitive presence is the act of constructing meaning throughsustained communication and is often developed through significant social presence [11]. Thethird component is teaching presence, which is how instructors design educational experiences tofacilitate social and cognitive presence [11]. These theories framed our methods and
