other for affirmation, respectively.To address these issues, educators should uses appropriate learning strategies, make choices thatare changing and engaging, and develop a positive orientation toward learning in theirclassrooms to promote a mastery orientation. As instructors, specific pedagogies can be used toinfluence whether students adopt a mastery orientation in the classroom. Some of these practicesinclude focusing attention on students’ effort and strategy use, not on abilities or intelligence;teaching adaptive learning strategies (e.g. planning, monitoring, and evaluating their progress inlearning); encouraging student involvement and a sense of personal responsibility; de-emphasizing the negative consequence of making errors

attainment of the targeted learning objectives. To that end, two engineering education researchers planned and carried out an intrinsic case study of the Winter 2013 offering of the course. After executing the study, the researchers were surprised to find quite a negative bent in students’ responses to the course in the data. They recognized that students’ expectations and perceived experiences were quite different from the instructor’s expectations and intended experiences for his students. Therefore, the study was extended for a second year. The objective of the broader study, within which this work is positioned, was to be a formative assessment tool for the course to explore students

demographicclusters, not simply the dyads and binning which come from single measures treated separately.Part 2: How to collect and when to askAppreciating non-normative and holistic identities in engineering begins by understanding themethods that researchers use to gather demographic information. Methods include ensuringparticipant anonymity, avoiding bias simply through collecting data, and balancing efficiencywith accuracy. However, as will become apparent in the remainder of the paper, decisions aboutdemographic data collection are highly situated and rarely have a single answer.At the core of efforts to collect demographic data is a single, but vital, point: The planning andidentification of demographic data collection must occur prior to data

Analysis and FindingsMuch of the literature on faculty retention relies on turnover intentions (i.e., plans or desires toleave) as a proxy for actual turnover [2], [5], [8], [12], [18], [20]. Very little of this workexamines faculty retention directly. Of those that do, samples are often constructed from collegecatalogues and online resources [1], [10]. Our study differs from previous research by examiningactual faculty departures and retention cases with the use of a comprehensive data set providedby UX’s Office of Institutional Research. In contrast to catalog data and online resources,institutional data sets are more reliable and allow for removal of retired faculty. In the first stage of our quantitative analysis, we examined faculty
