This isespecially true for first year and transfer students pursuing STEM undergraduate degrees. Avariety of studies have been published that go into detail about why these characteristics havesuch a significant effect on student performance and retention [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. This paperbuilds on past research focused on the intersections between reflection, metacognition, andSTEM professional skills [6]. We present Critical Self-Reflection [7] to integrate development ofthese characteristics into student research experiences to foster experiential learning. STEMstudents are not often trained to

Reflection on Faculty DevelopmentAbstractMany engineering faculty have been involved in some form of engineering education research(EER) during their professional career. This may range from a relatively superficial participationas a collaborator on a small departmental education initiative to a larger role in a leadershipposition as a principal investigator on a multi-institutional research grant. Regardless of the levelof involvement, each engineering educator must evolve and invest substantial time to acquire alevel of EER knowledge that is commensurate with their desired degree of participation. Forthose educators who are motivated to fully immerse themselves into a potentially rewarding EERprogram with the expectation of perpetuity, their

It took a major sense of empathy to grasp the challenge that Brazilian students were havingfully. To communicate in your non-native language all day with fluent speakers is draining, compoundedby the stress of meeting project deadlines; students must take a step back and reflect upon the struggles ofothers. Additionally, the Brazilian mentor was another interesting dynamic that must be navigated.

Many data sources are reviewed for this study, including student artifacts, instructorlessons, and pre-and post- course reflections. These longitudinal data include the period impactedby COVID-19.
