The experiment was this: create a position dedicated to cultivatinginnovative teaching practices, engineering education research, and engineering outreach withinthe College of Engineering as a tenure-track faculty line, while not housing the position directlyin any one of the existing college departments. While there were well-documented guidelinesand policies for promotion and tenure as a whole, exactly how they would be applied to my casewas also part of the experiment, and it did not end the way we all hoped it would. The takeawaybeing that I am no stranger to uncertainty, and I am also sensitive to the fact that good intentionsare not enough to ensure good outcomes.Our AnalysisThrough analysis of our reflections and discussions, we

potential contributionsto the typology of effective teaching strategies. The study is anchored by a research question:what student-centered teaching approaches do exemplary engineering instructors employ topromote knowledge-building in their courses, and how do these approaches align with theirbeliefs about teaching?Data CollectionTo address the research question, the study employed the participatory action research (PAR)methodology, which prioritizes the invaluable input and expertise of participants. The PARapproach is best suited for this study because it actively improves social practices [10], involvingparticipants in designing data collection, reflecting on data, and testing identified practices intheir own contexts.

In this study, we seek to identify the specificways engineering faculty at an elite university have refined their traditional face-to-face coursesbased on their experiences during the remote teaching phase of the pandemic.MethodsThe participants for this study were limited to faculty within the College of Engineering at theGeorgia Institute of Technology. To achieve a sufficiently large sample size of participants and togain initial insights to changes in teaching, a survey-based study was designed. The survey

universities, especially in STEMdisciplines. Research has shown that graduate students’ educational experiences aresignificantly impacted by their relationship with their adviser, yet this relationship is one of themost frequently mentioned challenges by international students. Based on the literature review,we argue that being aware of intercultural competence is essential for STEM faculty to providepositive advising experiences for international graduate students. Despite the promise ofintercultural competence promoting effective and healthy advising relationships, there islimited literature about its use at the graduate level in STEM. Because of the huge participationof Chinese students in the US educational system, this paper includes a fictional

No datacollection was conducted during that time.The second year of our study has been focused on implementation of the faculty project ideas, leveragingthe makerspace, into their courses. To check in on progress in the middle of the second year, one-on-onesemi-structured interviews were carried out by a trained graduate student research assistant in

allows a gateway to improved learning andbroadening participation as engaging in SoTL requires faculty to think more critically as they adoptand disseminate research-based practices. However, the vast majority of disciplinary engineeringPhD programs (e.g., non-Engineering Education programs) do not prepare graduates for teachingand/or disseminating best teaching practices through the scholarship of teaching and learning(SoTL) [7]. As a result, the limited teaching preparedness of new college and universityengineering educators has the potential to turn students off from engineering [8], which directlyimpacts retention and completion rates [9].Several factors potentially contribute to this problem. First, most disciplinary engineering PhDprograms

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].

It is increasingly noted that diverse and inclusive scientific teams can amplifyinnovation, productivity, and impact [3], [4].

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
