, competency development, and understanding the experiences of traditionally marginalized engineering students from an asset-based perspective. Homero’s goal is to develop engineering education practices that value the capital that tra- ditionally marginalized students, bring into the field, and to train graduate students and faculty members with the tool to promote effective and inclusive learning environments and mentorship practices. Homero has been recognized as a Diggs Teaching Scholar, a Graduate Academy for Teaching Excellence Fellow, a Global Perspectives Fellow, a Diversity Scholar, a Fulbright Scholar, a recipient of the NSF CAREER award, and was inducted into the Bouchet Honor Society.

the project. This change also resulted in a new faculty member and graduate student instructor joining the team from Clemson. Change 2: Addition of third-year civil engineering students from An-Najah enrolled in an introductory environmental engineering course. This more than doubled the number of students from this institution. It also engaged a second faculty member from An-Najah. Change 3: Implementation of cross-cultural dialogue sessions for IVE teams prior to the start of the project. These sessions were developed based on the feedback, observations, and lessons learned from the 2021 iteration of

Dr. Finelli studies the academic success of students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), social justice attitudes in engineering, and faculty adoption of evidence-based teaching practices. She also led a project to develop a taxonomy for the field of engineering education research, and she was part of a team that studied ethical decision-making in engineering students. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 WIP: Understanding How International Graduate Students in Engineering Fit into American Culture through the Lens of Gender Pronouns: A Pilot StudyAbstractInternational

The program has been deemed highly beneficial forinternational students due to the fact that it enhances the network for individuals to discover newemployment opportunities. After graduation, program graduates can potentially benefit fromthese relationships by obtaining a highly desired employment position or by receiving anoutstanding recommendation from various industry CEO’s who have a first-hand demonstrationof the student’s real-world experience and professional demeanor.Introduction Middle Tennessee State University’s Human Exploration

However, it is crucial topoint out that contrary to certain misconceptions that view research on a linear path, this researchended up being an iterative use of both quantitative and qualitative instruments. The analyzed datafor this study include surveys, in-person and virtual classroom observations, teacher reflectionjournals, classroom artifacts, school policy documents, and semi-structured interviews with 37engineering faculty members, 2 provosts, 5 engineering college deans, and 2 students.IRBThis study is approved for study by the Purdue Institutional Review Board.
