The final deliverable, at the conclusion of the 2-year period, isthe submission of an Engineering Unleashed Card [8]. These cards function as a combination of blog andresource-sharing website all in one page, documenting the course plans/activities with sufficient detailthat other faculty could then take the plan/activity and modify it to fit and deploy it in their own courses.Research on mentoring models for faculty developmentThere has been a growing body of research on the effectiveness of peer mentoring programs rooted insocial cognitive theories and research on influence [9].

engineeringfaculty at a research institution who collaborated on an NSF-funded research project aimed atstudying the impact of implementing oral exams in high enrollment courses. The primaryresearch questions were: How did the instructor’s perspectives and behaviors change as theyimplemented oral exams in their courses? How did the instructors act on a growth-orientedmindset?MethodsWe invited six teaching professors from the departments of Mechanical and AerospaceEngineering and Electrical Engineering to participate in the study. To protect the confidentialityof each individual, pseudonyms were used in lieu of using their full names in data analysis (SeeTable 1). Instructor Department Course(s) that implemented oral exams

components of critical consciousness as criticalreflection, motivation, and action using Diemer et al.’s (2015) definitions because they providethe clearest explanation of each component and limit the use of alternative descriptors orlanguage that are not directly aligned with Freirean thought.Theoretical Expansion of Critical Consciousness Several scholars have used Freire’s (1970) work as a foundation for their work,highlighting the benefits of his scholarship but also identifying limitations in its theory andpractical application. Literature across fields confirms several ways in which criticalconsciousness is defined and operationalized. This section reviews the work of scholars frompsychology (e.g., Diemer and Montero), social work (i.e

In somecases, steps three and four are skipped, and only one round of interviews is completed. The faculty hiring process is fraught with bias, including racial bias [1], gender bias inletters of recommendation [2], and search committee members seeking to hire people whoseresearch areas are most similar to their own [3]. Hiring people similar to oneself extends beyondresearch areas. Many search committees look for candidates who would be a good “fit”(generally, scientifically, programmatically) [4, 5]. However, “fit” is highly subjective and opento the evaluator’s personal biases

A post-observation form with guiding questions ensures that peer-observers follow a standardizedprocess. Faculty members also ask their own questions to the peer-observer(s).
