figures come to speak to faculty was an ineffective approachThe leadership team believed that bringing in experts on issues of incorporating social content tocontextualize technical engineering content (e.g., issues of social justice in engineering) wouldadd legitimacy to their changemaking effort in the eyes of the faculty. These experts came frombackgrounds such as History, Science and Technology Studies, and an NSF officer associatedwith changemaking in engineering efforts. However, bringing in these guest authorities wasimplemented through workshops which had low faculty turnout. Within their interviews, facultydid not mention the workshops and the leadership team postulated that even with an engineeringbackground, these authorities were not

content of feedback as defined by Hattie and Timperley is self-feedback [1]. Thisis feedback that speaks to qualities of the learner as a person, and does not focus on the contentof what was being learned. Mode of feedback given to students relates to how feedback was delivered. For instance,feedback can be given in either a structured or unstructured way [17]. Structured feedback couldbe explained as receiving feedback through a rubric filled out by the instructor and officiallyreturned, whereas unstructured could be receiving feedback orally in passing in a hallway outsideof class. With technology being used in engineering classrooms more frequently, the mode withwhich feedback is delivered has transitioned to being primarily digital

, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, & Medicine (STEMM). In spite of theimportance of faculty productivity to individual and career success, as well as the generallypositive effects of mentoring, research linking the two is lacking. Assessing possible connectionsis complicated by the fact that mentoring can take many forms, both formal and informal, to thepoint that a mentor and/or mentee might not even identify the relationship as mentorship. Inaddition, faculty productivity is influenced by myriad variables, making it difficult to isolate theeffects of any one of them (Dickeson, 2013). Finally, the definition and operationalization of“faculty productivity” is strongly shaped by one’s position type (tenure/non-tenure), andinstitutional
