objective of the authors which is to increase retention rates inengineering education, enhance academic preparation, and to increase the number of minorities inSTEM fields and graduate school. It is important to note that the recommendations generated fromthe study are not intended to be firmly established practices but are provided as considerations andsuggestions that may be useful for faculty seeking to understand more about the nuances of hybridlearning. The information drawn from the study are topics that can be utilized to engage in anongoing dialogue about how to best serve students in various contexts. These research objectivesare believed to be attained by identifying, designing, and implementing effective pedagogicalmethods that will be

research literature represented by several factors including negative interpersonal relations,subtle and overt denigration of ability, favoritism toward men and majority students, experiencesof sexism, gender stereotyping, and delegitimization [11-15]. Research found this chilly climateto be a more challenging issue for women and minority students in academia than factors such aslack of financial support, recruitment practices, or faculty representation [16].Studies around URM student persistence found faculty support kept students motivated to remainin their engineering degree [9, 10, 17-19]. The literature also revealed two recent studies thatfound that receiving academic encouragement increases student self-efficacy [20, 21].Encouragement is a

Currently, she is pursuing her Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering. Tiantian has significant research experience in instrument development and validation analysis. Her research in- terests lie in developing reliable and valid measures for assessing complex engineering competencies, such as systems thinking skills. More particularly, she’s interested in assessing engineering students’ socio-technical systems thinking skills during their design process. In addition to her work on instrument development, Tiantian is also passionate about exploring the

The researchquestion that guided this study is: How important to search committee members arequalifications related to inclusive teaching practices in STEM faculty hiring? We were interestedin understanding how – or if – the introduction of a DEI-related construct impacted respondents’evaluation of the importance of

The faculty members’ desires for authenticity may also speak to theimportance of constructing one’s positive leadership in alignment with the core self, as well asthe ongoing need for support in actualizing new knowledge.Value and InstitutionalizationEven as some faculty grappled with practicing positive leadership principles in academia, theirassessments of the training program were markedly positive, with words like “well-done” andeven “fantastic” surfacing.

Inparticular, Shivers-McNair et al.

It is increasingly noted that diverse and inclusive scientific teams can amplifyinnovation, productivity, and impact [3], [4]. Despite these increases, STEM women faculty arestill underrepresented [1], [2], and they often advance slower than male faculty into

MentorshipMost importantly, evidence from the research on teacher scholarship shows that for professionaldevelopment to be effective, it must be an ongoing process that extends beyond the lifetime ofprofessional development workshops [25]. Instructors are best suited to succeed when theycultivate a community of practice that meets regularly to discuss resources, pedagogicalapproaches, and tools that teachers use to improve student outcomes. The philosophy of thefacilitators was that participation is most effective when participants complement others bybringing their wealth of individual experiences. At the intersection of those unique experienceslies the picture of the ideal educator. Participants were encouraged to learn from their peers andthe
