Faculty Communities Exploring Data and Sharing Their StoriesMotivation and Project OverviewThis NSF Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE: EHR) Institutional andCommunity Transformation (ICT) capacity-building project is designed to support faculty tocollaboratively explore questions on student learning and success in introductory and gatewayundergraduate STEM courses, such as early engineering courses as well as prerequisite math andscience courses. The project is motivating faculty to consider evidence-based teaching strategiesby including them as co-designers of learning analytics tools and storytellers inspired by the dataand their reflections. Learning analytics uses data about learners and learning to draw

An inclusive selection processERSP students work in teams under the guidance of a research faculty member, as part of anactive research project. This apprenticeship is supported by a required course that introducesstudents to research in a structured class setting: topics, findings, how to read and evaluate aresearch paper, and a variety of research exercises. The students are mentored by both ERSPmentors and a member of the research project (faculty, or graduate student). The program isteam-based, building a strong sense of student community and support

to Practice (E2R2P): NSF Program: EEC Division of Engineering Education and Centers Grant 1037808 Our effort addresses the question: How can successes in engineering education researchtranslate into widespread instructional practice? Published research has provided a robust set ofdocumented tools and techniques for transforming individual engineering courses fromtraditional lecture-based formats to those that emphasize project- and problem-based learning[1].These new formats support transfer of learned skills to subsequent courses and the workplace.Unfortunately, the mere availability of such research has not resulted in its widespread adoptionacross engineering programs. The pace of adoption has

diversity.4 The program consists of five classes,unique to the minor, that span across two academic years (4 semesters) and relies on the use ofcohort-based program structure, near-peer mentoring, and project-driven learning. The cohortstructure allows for close relationships to form, combatting the social isolation that historicallymarginalized students may feel in CS classes. Peer mentoring benefits students by offeringfurther academic, social, and professional development support within the program. Project-based learning provides strong ties to students’ major area(s) of study (primarily biology andbiochemistry) and supports students’ future success in fields that are becoming increasingly data-driven.1 Finally, the minor program courses focus
