This study aimed tounderstand the needs of engineering faculty members, especially those who had not workeddirectly with the engineering librarian for library resource instruction. The study was modeledafter a similar multi-site study conceived and organized by Ithaka S+R, a not-for-profitorganization that provides guidance and support for academic and cultural communities, thatexplored the teaching needs of business faculty members [3]. Interviews were conducted withfaculty members from the departments of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering and Industrial &Systems Engineering in the summer of 2020.

stereotypes regarding AfricanAmericans academic capabilities, their numerical majority status within the HBCU context actsas a buffer enabling them to perceive their racial and professional identity as compatible andintegrated. On the contrary, the numerical minority status of African American engineeringstudents in PWI exacerbates their vulnerability to feel threatened by the negative stereotypesabout their group. Even as they struggle to maintain a positive ethnic identity, they question thecompatibility between their ethnic and professional identities. As Du Bois states, it is the tensionthat impedes “fluid participation in Black world(s) and white world(s)”. It is for this reason thatAfrican American engineering students in PWIs may struggle more

Thispaper will present the work by the authors to develop a water flume that would allowhydrodynamic testing at velocities up to 2.0 m/s. The flume was constructed by anundergraduate and at a cost lower than commonly available commercial units. Both thefabrication process and the potential experiments that the flume could house are designed toimprove student learning in the area of fluid mechanics. The design is developed to be relativelycompact, with a 7’x3.5’ footprint and utilizes a commonly available single-stage centrifugalpump.

]. New SCCT models were developed to explain vocational satisfaction and well-being [10,11], and career management [9]. At the core of the original SCCT model, and most of the SCCTmodels that followed, are self-efficacy (i.e., confidence in the ability to successfully perform adomain-specific task, like a specific engineering skill), outcome expectations (i.e., anticipatedoutcomes of a particular behavior), interests (i.e., patterns of likes/dislikes for career activities),and goals (i.e., determination for a particular outcome). Taking this one step further, Lent etal.’s [9] integrative social cognitive model of academic adjustment, derived from both SCCT [1,2] and the social cognitive model of academic satisfaction [10, 11], explains how

At Robert Morris University (RMU, the author’s institution), this educational resourcegap has been addressed by developing several ALTs in the form of class exercises, case studies,and case study videos that were created by collaborating with the academia and industrialprofessionals. Through this three-year work 20 delivery hours of case studies, 18 delivery hoursof exercises and 6 delivery hours of role play videos totaling 44 delivery hours of Software V&Vcourse materials have been developed.

We plan to use a set of idea generation problems which have been usedsuccessfully in the past to measure outcomes related to creativity in idea generation.In future work, student ideation artifacts and projects will also be examined through thelens of the MPCA(18). Even though the metric requires raters and does not exhibit highreliability, the fact that the metric is broken down by function may allow us to better tracethe source(s) of a high or low creativity score than could be determined from a single,simple rating.A variety of research tools

In contrast, participation in second-languagecourses, projects or internships abroad, or having an international roommate did not reveal astatistically significant difference in students’ EGPI or GPI performance.Stepwise regression analysis was used to determine potential relationships among studentexperiences and their global preparedness.
