They were originally designed thatway but were reduced to fit in another course whose content has been folded into other courses.This has resulted in minor changes to the first two years of the 8-semester plan. At the sametime, this change has allowed us to expand the Introduction and Role courses to the

However, weacknowledge that excellent undergraduate research experiences often lead to peer-reviewed publicationsand help faculty career progression.In partnership with the Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN), a workshop has been held forfour summers to help faculty integrate the entrepreneurial mindset (EM) into their work with researchstudents. We are interested in exploring the impact of this work on participation and sharing our findingswith the broader engineering community.Research questions: 1. How can faculty use an EM to adjust their approach to research activities and student mentoring? 2. What structures/practices from the workshop help faculty adjust their approach to

And even though many graduatestudents may experience imposter syndrome at some point in their career, these feelings likelyplace a heavy burden on neurodivergent graduate students who may feel pressure to hide theirchallenges to prove that they belong in academia. As Ó Meadhbh Murray et al.

model the learningoutcomes for the course remain the same for all who enroll regardless of the mode of attendance. Our HyFlex SQA approach consists of lectures (in class, with video recordings), face-to-face activities, as well as group assignments, group projects, and exams all facilitated through anonline campus management system. During the lecture period, the instructor delivers content inthe form of lecture slides and writing on a whiteboard. This poses significant challenges for theinstructor, as the learning outcomes have to be delivered in different modalities, but with the samequality. This is particularly difficult in SQA courses, as these require instruction in formal methodsas well as systematic justification of engineering

development. Here, it is important to remember that theentrepreneurial mindset focuses on one’s mental attitude and belief system, which is acquired andnurtured over time with continued practice, reflection and feedback. As explained by Carol S.Dweck, a change in mindset requires effort, practice, and challenging tasks [7]. Regardless ofwhether it is the entrepreneurial mindset or the growth mindset, practice and more practice canchange one’s beliefs and attitudes, which in return can instill and reinforce the entrepreneurialmindset. Common methods for integrating practice, reflection, and feedback into the curriculumcan be through semester-long scaffold projects, journaling, peer feedback, and formativeassessments.#4: Curriculum Design for Best

autoethnographies on female faculty in academia are limited [2, 11]. This researchgathered autoethnographic stories from three female faculty members in engineering, the authorsof this paper, who had also experienced gender bias in their teaching. This was then organizedinto a ”collective autoethnography”. The analysis and writing-up of the project were alsocompleted by the authors. According to Ellis’s autoethnographic principles [8], stories are centralto this paper. The literature presented and the emotions evoked after the stories are told is all doneto change the understanding of what it means to be a female instructor in the engineeringclassroom.The three authors of this paper are early-career faculty in small teaching-focused institutions.Two of the

These programs were located by startingwith the USDOT’s listing of University Transportation Centers at http://utc.dot.gov/.One could argue that a student gains significant benefit simply by sitting in the same classroomas students from other transportation-related disciplines. Students appear to gain insight into theperspectives of other disciplines through discussion with these peers and hearing the questionsasked by these peers.

Engineering is one of the few fields where women representation is as low aseleven percent2. Recent studies show that women are more likely to drop out of engineeringbecause of the social and affective factors and the environment that they perceive asunwelcoming3,4. In addition, female students have lower confidence in their engineering skillscompared to their male peers, causing women to believe that they cannot do engineering5, 6.There is some evidence that self-efficacy
