Throughout the year-longprogram, we are conducting longitudinal interviews and surveys to follow the participants’growth trajectories with regards to their understanding and implementation of inclusivepedagogies in engineering classrooms and the impact the program has on cultivating equity-minded practitioners in engineering education. The focus of this paper is the preliminary resultsregarding the motivations of engineering faculty to participate in this type of facultydevelopment program and significantly redesign one of their courses. We seek to answer thefollowing research question: What motivates engineering faculty to participate in an inclusiveexcellence faculty development program?Through a qualitative

solvecomplex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, andmathematics.” 1 It goes on to say that a “complex” engineering problem must meet one or morecriteria such as having multiple solutions, no obvious or unique solution, include many subproblems, involve multiple disciplines etc. When designing assessments that accurately portray astudent’s ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems, it is critical thatinstructors keep in mind the definition of complex engineering problems. As students are stillgaining knowledge skills and cognition skills in earlier courses, it can be difficult to assess truecomplex engineering problems in lower-level engineering courses 2 .

Persistence in E/CS can be defined as a students’ choice to stay in anengineering major or complete an engineering degree [15]. Enough motivation and self-efficacyare needed to overcome several adversities faced during their engineering programs [16]. To thiseffect, researchers have spent a considerable about of resources to know the completion rates ofengineering majors and the cause of attrition from engineering /computer science degrees [17, 18].There are several factors that affects a student’s persistence in their respective degrees includingstudent identity [19], interest, recognition, and

They also namedcuriosity about new knowledge as a key mindset to adaptability but did not mention othermindsets present in the CCT framework, such as confidence, feeling in control, or feelingconcerned (i.e., invested) about their work.Beyond the IAT and CCT frameworks, managers also mentioned other mindsets and behaviorsassociated with engineering adaptability, alluding to three categories: technical, interpersonal,and intrapersonal (our characterization).

Design constraints for the project imposed a 50% lower limit on post-consumermaterials used in construction, and the student teams were instructed to keep the environmentalimpact of their design very much in mind from the beginning of the design process and as theymoved through to

The workshop faculty then explained the engineering education scenario by discussing the challenges at the global [26] and national levels [27], and the critical responsibility that today’s engineering educators have to develop workforce to tackle the challenges.

With that in mind, my colleaguesand I are planning on designing an intermediate Verilog class focused on many of the conceptshighlighted in the previous paragraph. Unlike the introductory computer engineering coursedescribed in this paper, the course will focus solely on Verilog. The lectures will cover Verilogsyntax, best practices, synthesis, etc. and the students must implement all of the homeworkassignments and projects in Verilog to give them more and more practice.

present often was ethics. Weattributed that to a combination of factors. First, many students may have not considered ethicsas a concept that they should include in their concept map because it is not the first thing thatcomes to mind when doing a homework assignment for an engineering class. One other important observation from the Figure 4 map is that moments seem to beisolated from the rest of the concepts. It seems that students struggled to connect moments withthe rest the concepts, perhaps because it is a difficult concept that often gets introduced withoutmuch pretense. An encouraging aspect of this map is that students did do a successful jobgrasping a large majority of the concepts. Finally, in order to ensure the validity of the
