barriers facultyexperience in providing encouragement to students. Additionally, the creation and validation of atool to measure faculty perceptions of providing encouragement can be used by institutions toidentify critical areas to strengthen how we teach in engineering.Guiding FrameworkAn extensive literature review showed the Academic Encouragement Scale (AES) and theFaculty Encouragement Scale (FES) as the best instruments to guide this research [20, 21]. Bothmeasure students’ perceptions of receiving encouragement in academic settings. Findings fromboth studies indicate that receiving encouragement increases students’ self-efficacy and outcomeexpectations.The Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) guided the development of the survey
with sixsubscales measuring six competencies: Maintaining Effective Communication (4 items),Aligning Expectation (4 items), Assessing Understanding (3 items), Fostering Independence (3items), Addressing Diversity (3 items), Promoting Professional Development (4 items). Therevalidated scale is called MCA-21 to distinguish it from the original MCA-26 [36].Newly Developed Instruments for Added Modules in EM As the NRMN Mentor Training Core expanded the EM curriculum by adding additionaltraining modules, they developed scale items to assess the training outcomes of these modules.For the self-efficacy training module, the instrument (Promoting Mentees’ Self-Efficacy – table1), which consisted of five items on a 7-point Likert scale, aims to
Well-being to produce effective outcomes. For example, according toRyff and Singer, there are six dimensions of Well-being [11]. The first dimension is self-acceptance, which predominantly targets increasing self-efficacy and creating a strongersense of self among teachers. Faculty development programs have been shown to increaseteachers’ self-efficacy [12], which in turn improves student learning, motivation andcontentment [13], and improve teaching practices [14] as an outcome. The second dimensionis the positive relationship with others, which articulates the need for social support amongteachers to exhibit Well-being [15]. Various research has shown that learning as a groupduring faculty development programs has a significant impact on the
of EBIPs including both situational and individualinfluences. Situational barriers include lack of pedagogical training, perceived time for effectiveimplementation, and institutional support and incentives [3]. For example, there can besituational barriers like disciplinary differences or institutional influences that promote ordiscourage the use of EBIPs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)courses [1, 4]. Further, engineering faculty have reported concern about the time required forboth preparation and implementing EBIPs in class. In contrast, individual barriers includeinstructional beliefs, values, goals, self-efficacy, motivations, and awareness [4, 5]. For one,many educational theories and research studies can be

Active learning pedagogy which places students at theepicenter of learning has been reported to aid in student engagement, retention, and workforcedevelopment. Also, the adoption of active learning strategies has grown in significance as ameans of improving undergraduate STEM students' educational experiences and academicsuccess. Moreso, this pedagogical approach attempts to increase involvement, foster self-efficacy, and inspire students in STEM fields. The experience during

Further,to support the success of marginalized students, advocates call for changes to address large-scalecultural issues that can lead to academic burnout and emotional exhaustion [1,6].To address these challenges, several studies explored the value of student-professor relationshipsin fostering supportive learning environments. Work by Micari & Pazos [10] found that studentswho had a positive relationship with faculty earned higher grades and were more confident intheir ability to succeed in academically rigorous courses.

session[13]. Similarly, a key goal of NEO at UW is for participants to feel comfortable and confident ontheir first day of teaching. Because the Imperial College London training is for students of onespecific department, they offer a seminar to ensure that TAs are aware of all relevant processesand procedures within that department (e.g. expectations of the role, how to address seriousproblems in their taught sessions, how to claim payment). Some of these topics, such asaddressing problems, are also offered at NEO, but specifics about payment are not possible in amulti-department training session. Both training programs prepare handouts to help TAs developtheir self-efficacy [14]; at UW-Madison, for example, TAs are given a timesheet so they

Each faculty member had excellent content knowledge of their respective disciplines.After a series of meetings with members of the school administration, we sent out a needsassessment survey via personalized links to the 161 faculty members in the college of engineering.The survey consisted of 11 sections including background and qualifications, current work,individualized approach to teaching, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) self-efficacy and perceived usefulness, professional development history, school climate, and schoolculture. The primary goal of this analysis was to facilitate conversation and inform stakeholdersof the areas of interest to concentrate the efforts of the proposed faculty development workshop.The
