, thereports and feedback were treated as exam-like constructs under a fixed mindset by the chaptersand not shared for best practices. Finally, the CFFs components, while purposeful, wereimproperly implemented within the EOYR and NRP’s episodic-oriented components, namely thereports. Thus, during the revision of the NRP, SHPE national leadership provided the NAC the 9opportunity to overhaul the program’s design but constrained to having measurable outcomes andalignment towards SHPE’s mission. The addressable threat for the NAC was that the significantchanges to the NRP would lead to a lack of participation by the chapters. However, the NRP wasintegrated

Appendix B: Expectationsfor Working with Collaborators and Need Experts).Examples of Accessible Design ProjectsHere we describe three example projects: Climbing Higher, e-NABLE Device and Research, andWild Thing Challenge and show examples of student-built prototypes (Fig. 1). To supportprototyping and best practices, students have access to a makerspace and are mentored by facultyand an independent design consultant. • Climbing Higher. Accessible climbing wall for adults with cognitive disabilities, in collaboration with Outdoors for All, a national organization that provides accessible recreational activities [17]. The team designed thermochromatic holds that change color when held by a climber in order to track progress

national educationalservices on a regular basis. For twelve consecutive years ISU has been ranked by PrincetonReview to be among the ‘Best in the Midwest’ [9], and in 2015 ISU was listed to be amongnation's ‘Best Value Colleges’ [10] by the same organization. The predecessor program of MET,mechanical design technology had been offering degrees and producing quality graduates since1978. This program was academically strong and had been continuously accredited by NationalAssociation of Industrial Technology (Presently Association of Management, Technology andApplied Engineering) with no major deficiencies. In 2008 COT applied for an ABETaccreditation for the MET program and the accreditation was granted in fall 2009. Sincelaunching the MET program

a structural engineer at Dekker/Perich/Sabatini.His research interests include dynamic response of structures subjected to air- blast, impact, progressive collapse, and underwater explosions; the use of fiber reinforced polymer com- posites in structural design and retrofit applications; and structural stability of temporary structures. His research has been supported by DoD, ASCE, and ITA. He has taught ten different structural engineering and mechanics courses and received the GMU Teaching Excellence Award. Dr. Urgessa is a licensed professional engineer in the State of Maryland. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Work in Progress: Analysis of the state of

in infectious disease and epidemiology, providing crucial exposure to the broader context of engineering problems and their subsequent solutions. These diverse experiences and a growing passion for improving engineering edu- cation prompted Dr. Miskio˘glu to change her career path and become a scholar of engineering education. As an educator, she is committed to challenging her students to uncover new perspectives and dig deeper into the context of the societal problems engineering is intended to solve. As a scholar, she seeks to not only contribute original theoretical research to the field, but work to bridge the theory-to-practice gap in engineering education by serving as an ambassador for empirically driven

courses in ECS,Science, and Mathematics. The training was focused on course module development for lower-division Engineering, Mathematics, and Science courses to incorporate high impact practices.Undergraduate Research for Freshman and Sophomore Students Undergraduate research consisting of laboratory/field activities and design projectsinvolving students, peer mentors, and faculty members were implemented in the Summer of2019. These activities were intended to increase the persistence of URM students in STEMdisciplines. The objective of Summer Undergraduate Research Experiences (SURE) was toincrease students’ comprehension of concepts and topics and develop skills through real-worldexperiences at a very early stage as a freshman or

. After a year as a Spencer Scholar at Stanford University, Dr. Faux returned to Italy as a research consultant for Bolt, Beranek, and Newman. Dr. Faux held senior research positions at TERC and Riverdeep Interactive (perhaps best known for the Carmen Sandiego software) before starting Davis Square Research Associates in 2001. His work encompasses qualitative and quantitative methods, including grounded theory, instrument development and validation, quantitative modeling, and social network analysis.

and software engineers,software developers, designers, researchers, and other professionals. The Success Summit alsohosts a career and college fair during which students meet representatives from companies andschools that many of them are unfamiliar with. They ask questions of company representativesand learn best practices for success in landing offers and thriving in their workplaces.The success of Beam Village is evident in the large numbers that enroll in college, oftenpursuing non-traditional majors, which they previously thought they would not like or could notmaster. They build ongoing relationships with mentors, land scholarships, and attend conferencesthat they never would have been aware of if not for the Beam Village

However, when faculty attitudes and mentoring practices along withdepartmental processes and procedures change, the changes are likely to be more sustainable.Using institutional theory as the analytical lens, the purpose of this paper is to examine how onecollaborative project implements a faculty-led institutional change model for diversifying theSTEM professoriate.

. URMstudents in completion of their STEM doctorates and pursuing academic careers [8]. This well-known program (formally known as PROMISE) formed an alliance with University of Baltimore(UMB) and University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP) based on best practices that havebeen actualized by the Meyerhoff Undergraduate and Graduate programs. Thus, as a whole,UMBC has been recognized as a top institution for cultivating and producing URM STEMgraduates [9].Based on the notion that we should learn from institutions that have been successful, severalinstitutions have tried to replicate components of programs housed at UMBC [10], [11].However, none have garnered the record success of UMBC. Some critics have argued thatalthough the Meyerhoff program is

Engineering Education at Purdue University. Her research focuses what factors influence diverse students to choose engineering and stay in engineering through their careers and how different experiences within the practice and culture of engineering fos- ter or hinder belongingness and identity development. Dr. Godwin graduated from Clemson University with a B.S. in Chemical Engineering and Ph.D. in Engineering and Science Education. Her research earned her a National Science Foundation CAREER Award focused on characterizing latent diversity, which includes diverse attitudes, mindsets, and approaches to learning, to understand engineering stu- dents’ identity development. She has won several awards for her research
