The research team asks theinstructors of the targeted engineering courses who they would recommend as potential peerleaders. The recruitment of the peer leaders is repeated approximately six to eight weeks prior tothe start of the term to allow for hiring, onboarding, and completing the peer leader trainingcourse.During Year 1 (AY22-23), eight peer leaders were trained. Three of those eight peer leaders(37.5%) were military students (i.e., a veteran or currently serving). These eight peer leadersserved in four engineering sections (one section in the
for a C/P faculty member typically looks like?” A: “Not really. They are all so different that there really is no typical.” Q: “What about unsuccessful cases? What gets talked about as the reason(s) someone might not get promoted?” A: “Of the last set, they all went through, and overall, the success rate is typically very high.”This might be where we lose some folks. How is any of that a bad thing? It isn’t, at least notwhen taken at face value. The problem is that it did little to illuminate any parts of the promotionprocess, that to us still seemed hidden, uncertain, and in some ways, inequitable. The “very highsuccess rate” should have been reassuring, but instead seemed to activate various
offers immersive experiences that can further enhancestudents' comprehension and retention of complex material science concepts.In summary, the development of animated visual aids represents a step towards addressing thevisualization challenges in materials science education. By leveraging emerging technologies andcontinuous assessment, we aim to foster a deeper understanding of dislocations and their role inmaterial behavior, ultimately enriching the learning experience for students.References[1] R.

teamwork. Reflective Teachingand Transformative Reflection have been central to the evolution of this program. Using acombination of instructor observations, constant reflection, and student feedback, it has been Page 19.16.10possible to build a two-course program that achieves in 5 weeks what a typical capstone designcourse will achieve in 8 months. Moreover, the immersion aspect of the courses coupled withthe international exposure make this approach to teaching and learning for engineering students asomewhat fascinating and often life-changing experience.REFERENCES1.

of PD, including 5 days in the summer and 3 days during the academicyear. Teachers implemented 3 culturally relevant engineering design (CRED) tasks that theydesigned for their own classrooms. A CRED framework was adapted from Guerra et al.’s [3]engineering design process to explicitly include connections to community, culture, and placewithin each design stage (Identify, Describe, Generate, Embody, Finalize). The PD program wasbuilt on a theoretical framework using Bandura’s [4] Social Cognitive Theory to develop self-efficacy and collective efficacy within the teacher cohort. Teachers were given tools, practice,and support to develop their own CRED tasks. The cohort model provided opportunities for peermentorship and on-going collaboration

While 40% of the GEAR-SR cohort participated ininterviews, additional interviews may be conducted to ensure a broader representation ofparticipant backgrounds and experiences. Investigating the specific elements of the GEARprogram that most significantly contribute to student outcomes will inform programenhancements and exploring the differential impacts of the GEAR program on students fromdiverse backgrounds, including those traditionally marginalized in engineering, could providevaluable insights.References[1] Alvarado, C., Villazon, S., & Tamer, B.
