The program is set up as a multipart workshop in whichparticipants will complete a draft teaching portfolio, draft teaching materials, and a teachingphilosophy. Other activities of the ETPP include a forum to discuss teaching issues as well as adeveloped peer network.6Previously mentioned graduate level programs have been formal course offerings or workshops,often with an audience that were self-selected and highly interested in higher education.7 This,however, is not the only scenario for graduate students interested in pursuing a professorship inSTEM fields. The opportunity for graduate students to develop teaching philosophy andpedagogy outside of coursework is

Cadets enrolled in ME must successfully complete a course of studyvery similar to that required by their peers at civilian institutions.

Similarly, there is no defined standard for communication of equations,graphics and low-accessibility legacy charts and graphs. Thus, universities currently working withthe visually impaired must develop their own teaching techniques. USC’s AME department began the process of creating accessible content for laboratoryinstruction well in advance of the semester. The goal of this project was to implement accessiblesolutions in the laboratory, which would allow visually impaired students to conduct the same labsas their sighted peers and retain the unique and necessary education that comes from hands-onlearning.b

This led me topivot to pursuing Engineering Education for my PhD, in hopes that it would be a betterexperience and I could make a change in the field.Immediately coming into graduate school, I soon realized that graduate engineering educationcan be incredibly isolating as a Black woman and full of multifaceted challenges, which can be abarrier for students who want to make changes in higher education. In my first year, I wasinvolved in writing a white paper that led to the restructuring of my department’s Equity andInclusion committee, and served as a graduate representative for the subsequent year.

Academic Integrity ViolationsThe vast majority of actionable academic integrity reports can be grouped into two categories; (1)using a cell phone or smartwatch during an exam or (2) bringing course material into the lab eitherin the form of a cheat sheet or written on their body. However, we have also seen other studentbehaviors develop which have required us to institute new exam policies. Restrictions regardingwhen students could begin writing on their scratch paper is a good example of a policy changethat occurred in response to student behavior. Until recently, students were allowed to write ontheir scratch paper as soon as they were seated in the lab, a policy based on the assumption thatonce in the lab any information that was written on the

On-the-jobinformation needs move at a more rapid pace and employers provide less specific guidance thanacademic instructors, making it difficult for new university graduates to solve informationproblems [1]. For engineering and technology students, workplace information use involves lessof the sources that are traditionally emphasized in academia (e.g., peer reviewed journal articles,books) and more of the resources heavily relied upon in industry, such as technical standards [2],[3], [4], [5]. Additionally, workplace projects require a high degree of interpersonal informationgathering and communication with colleagues [6], [7].Recent research from American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) indicatesthat employers view

much more apparent. We require the student teams to meet once per week outside of class but we find that they often voluntarily meet more frequently. Certainly the leadership team (CTO and team leads) meets even though it is not required. • Students get taste of being a mid-level manager (the “CTO” role). They are elected to this position by their peers and not allowed to write any code while they are in the role. Even so, they quickly realize that it’s a lot of work. This is much more of a true leadership position than just a team lead. The CTO selects sprint goals and team composition. “I was class CTO” looks good on a resume too. • Progress is faster.

The hands-on in-class exercises havereceived very positive feedback from the students. Often the material seems to make sense whileI’m lecturing and giving examples, but when the students have to write the code themselves, theyoften realize they do not know the material as well as they thought they did.
