As a tenured full professor of mechanical engineering, he taught and performed research in the areas of mechatronic system design and the modeling, analysis, and con- trol of multidisciplinary engineering systems. With significant continuous funding from both industry and government, he developed the Mechatronics Program at RPI, which included an extensive teaching and research laboratory and several undergraduate and graduate courses in mechatronics. He collabo- rated extensively with the Xerox Mechanical Engineering Sciences Laboratory (MESL), an offshoot of Xerox PARC, during this time. During his 18 years at RPI, he graduated 37 M.S. students and 20 Ph.D. students. While at RPI, he authored over

Asnoted in a recent Physics Today article on student evaluations of teaching (SETs), “The degree ofdisparity varies by discipline, course, level, institution, and other factors, but across the board,SETs penalize women, underrepresented minorities, nonnative English speakers, and older andphysically less attractive instructors of both sexes,” (Feder, 2020).It is therefore of great interest to better understand the conscious or unconscious biases present inmodern day students with respect to race and gender. Through understanding the biases of currentstudents, one can better anticipate the intervention needs of the future workforce. For example, arecent study of nursing and psychology students identified an implicit bias against

Adjuncts typically are “offthe radar screen” of the Dean and Chair, hence receive minimal feedback except from students intheir classes. Adjuncts often have little authority to improve the laboratory/class they teach andmay not be included in curriculum decisions. Supto recommends that “every adjunct shouldhave a full-time faculty member assigned as an advocate and resource” but this often isn’t thecase1. Adjuncts are often left to fend for themselves.Departments and faculty may want to do an excellent job of teaching undergraduates, yet it isoften the lack of resources and not
