twenty to fifty percent of entering freshmen, according to Gordon,are undecided about their major, while seventy-five percent change their major at least once priorto matriculating [1]. Faculty mentorship is additionally indispensable as young adults willtransition into professional roles post-graduation, and in numerous cases, particularly in STEMrelated disciplines, ethical principles are necessary to maintain the public’s well-being. In thisregard, Johnson outlines that faculty mentorship in engineering fields is utilized to transmit values,cultural mores, and ethical principles to the engineering profession [4].According to Levinson, a mentorship role can exert a greater influence on student success due tothe relationship it builds between

theirdisciplines. The EM Champions and mini-grant programs provided the necessary means andsupport to faculty members to integrate EML in their courses. However, the development offaculty members’ interest in and teaching skills related to EML were based on the broad array ofFD opportunities provided.Example 1: Sustainability, Ethics, and Professional PracticeSustainability, Ethics, and Professional Practice is a course that most engineering students takeduring the sophomore year or later at the University of New Haven. The course is divided into 14modules of which 10 focus on the different engineering aspects of sustainability. The course wasoriginally developed with a theoretical term project of greening the engineering building byreducing the energy

To date, 89% of TTE REU interns have been from backgroundsunderrepresented in STEM fields. Successfully involving these community college students inscientific research is important for building diversity within the engineering fields.Community college students who participate as interns of the TTE REU program benefit in avariety of ways. Analysis of mixed methods evaluation data shows that interns are better able tofind scholarly resources, design ethical scientific experiments, conduct independent research, andanalyze data after participating in the program [11

graduate students and two university professional developers),determined the audience and focus for the workshop. We felt the discrepancies between STEM-H discipline research and education research (e.g. natural laws vs. conceptual frameworks,feasibility and ethicality of controlled studies in education), would be the main source of initialconfusion for participants. We hypothesized that the participants would benefit from anintroduction to foundational education research ideas, and we addressed these discrepancies thatlead to tensions due to differing views and values of research among the discipline-basedcommunities. We sought to unpack and diffuse tensions by emphasizing that anywhere on thelandscape, valuable research means appropriately
