Hoople is an assistant professor and one of the founding faculty members of integrated engineering at the University of San Diego. He is passionate about creating engaging experiences for his students. His work is primarily focused on two areas: engineering education and design. Professor Hoople’s engineering education research examines the ways in which novel approaches can lead to better student outcomes. He is the principal investigator on the National Science

constituted a new challenge for faculty and students alike.Various other struggles encountered in the midst of a pandemic (e.g., economic impacts onindividuals and family) all tested the degree of resiliency and adaptability of both faculty andstudents to establish and sustain a coherent educational system. Universities were especiallychallenged when given lack of immediate procedural or resourceful commodities fortransitioning to an online learning environment in a rapid and timely manner [3]. These changesresulted in huge burdens on faculty members, students, and universities to cope with thistransition and deliver a full or partial online teaching and learning environment in an efficientmanner. The research on COVID-19 effects on
graduate student perspective, not a person who relates primarilyas an employer or instructor of graduate students— hence, the “before I forget” part of the title. I hope theperspective gained by hindsight can supplement that lack of immediacy and that as a communicative act Ican speak directly to graduate students with something valuable. Now a faculty member, I am alsolooking towards being able to synthesize these pieces of advice in ways that I may be able to pass along tomy own and other graduate students. I do not anticipate this advice to be comprehensive, and I inviteothers to add their wisdom as well, in this paper (see Section 5) and future works. In this envisionedcollective body of knowledge on graduate student process, no one would
students interests towards pursuing a graduate degree.The physical and psychological impacts of student involvement, such as attending social events,giving oral presentations, being part of a group, club, organization, etc., have been studied widelyby scholars [31][32][33][34]. They have shown a major role in students’ self-efficacy andpersistence and positively impact students’ academic autonomy, career, and lifestyle planning[32][35][36][37]. “Academic involvement, involvement with faculty, and peer involvement” arethe three most powerful involvement forms according to the literature [31]. Likewise, learning ina group is an effective practice in promoting greater academic achievement, promising attitudestoward learning, and increasing
curriculum developmentand instructional support. As part of this group, nine undergraduate students were hired to helpin the development of five CBI courses. The students were directly supervised by a graduatestudent under the direction of an engineering faculty member. The courses included ComputerAided Design, Water Science, Systems Thinking, Nanotechnology, and Computer Science.The students had access to previously developed curriculum and TexPREP instructors who hadtaught similar content in prior years. Their objective was to develop and support an effectiveCBI challenge for each course that was engaging for students and addressed the majority ofcourse content. Developed materials supporting the CBI challenge included detailed courseoutlines and
to be, his passion has always been more on the teachingside. One of Jon’s job prospects that was very interesting to him was in Philadelphia. Thoughthis job was not directly related to his field of study, it was an opportunity to use his skill set in adifferent area. When he contacted a graduate student colleague of both Jon and Chris about lifein Philadelphia, that connection proved to be invaluable. He noted his department had a jobposting for a teaching faculty member. This was Chris’s dream job. In the end, Chris left histenure track position for a non-tenure track teaching faculty position and Jon left his researchcareer for a career in software, which has been an underlying passion of his.

us what we maybe already knew, but nevertheless needed to hear: students enterengineering education from diverse points of origin and continue through to careers that are aslikely beyond engineering as within it. However, a close reading of the report also reveals twovoices. On the one hand, there was the voice of educators and administrators eager to celebratethe fact that engineering can serve as rigorous preparation for a variety of future occupations. Onthe other hand, there was a smaller number of educators, including NAE staff members who,through their engagement with the literature on women and minorities in engineering educationsought to make the point that many students enter engineering with diverse backgrounds andpreparation in
shaping and supportingstudents’ group-learning experiences.6 While faculty practices are important in all group-learningapproaches, they can be particularly important for supporting under-represented students, whooften experience marginalization in such settings. Both faculty and peers can marginalizeindividual students in a variety of ways, including through assignment of work tasks, validationof work tasks, validation of ideas or perspectives, and the nature of the group task itself.First, at the onset of an activity, task assignment biases can often result from unconsciousexpectations about who may be more (or less) suited to certain tasks.7, 8 While each team isdifferent, with a different set of identities and personalities, there is also
