Recruiting participants for the RET began in the early winter, with admissions andmatching to research projects finalized by spring. During the spring, teacher participants woulddiscuss the research project with faculty mentors, and make tentative plants for the summer.Because the program included two universities, the kick-off and

lecture.IntroductionThis research paper explores the ways in which engineering postdoctoral scholars describe theappeal of pursuing a career in the professoriate. Scholarship concerning engineering careertrajectories presently lack the depth necessary to understand the arc of the career from student topostdoctoral scholar to professor (Jaeger et al., 2017; St. Clair et al., 2017; Su, 2013). Aninvestigation of this trajectory is critical for those invested in increasing the number ofunderrepresented minorities (URMs; African American, Latinx, and Native American) andwomen entering the professoriate and earning tenure. Researchers have found postdoctoraltraining is crucial for a scholar’s productivity and ability to compete for professorships (Andalibet al., 2018

instead exhibited non-cooperative behavior.The author asserted that these individuals thought that collaborative behavior indicatedweakness. As these convictions revealed themselves on projects, expectations were diminished,and distrust then ensued. Consequently, this distrust among project participants eventually led topoor communication, unfruitful conflict, and reduced performance. Many members of theconstruction industry understand this dilemma and attribute the problem to an unwillingness onthe part of the project participants to behave in a collaborative manner and this gives a startingpoint for research regarding how to promote more collaborative attitudes among constructionparticipants within the construction industry.25BackgroundIn 1607

. Following the first industrial revolution, research began onunderstanding people and collaboration as an important aspect for productivity in engineering.During the Taylorism era of the early 19th century, relationship between supervisors and workerswere established and cooperation was ensured to ensure efficiency in production [2]. However,the decision-making process were carried out by supervisors only. As the world shifted to thesecond industrial revolution, teams were formed with leaders and team members coordinatingtasks together and helping each other to reach team goals [2]. Leaders had the authority to directorders to team members ensuring proper coordination and control of tasks. By the beginning ofthe third industrial revolution

onlineinstruction is video and/or reading based with little or no interaction among the students andinstructors. This has potential negative effects on: collaborative learning, instructor facilitation,and a student’s ability to seek and receive help in the moment [43]. Further, opportunities foractive learning and interactive experiences are limited due to lack of access to labs, equipment,and learning environments specifically designed for interactive learning [44]. There are alsominimal opportunities to explore the ‘hidden curriculum’ [45] and support students’development in areas other than technical content, such as participating in mentoring and thedevelopment of social capital, one of the keys to recruiting and retaining low-income, racial orethnic

Thoughuniversities currently exhibit full design cycles across a variety of courses spread out in differentsemesters, it could be of major benefit for universities to integrate student extracurricular designteams as a part of the engineering curriculum. The ingrained collaboration required in designteams, as well as the cross-disciplinary interaction of students, academic mentors/advisors andindustry sponsors, is the most realistic analogue to the full end-to-end design cycle currentlypresent in an academic setting. In addition, since the competitive aspect of design competitionsto create superior designs push students to explore new/creative design avenues

Faculty act as moderators attempting to keep the students on track, and within some reasonable budget. The big question for this project was whether to use an equatorial3 or altitude azimuth4 design for the telescope’s rotation. The equatorial is a far simpler design for tracking the stars as it only needs to rotate about one axis once it is set up. However, the mechanical issues were far more difficult, and an altitude azimuth arrangement was chosen. Fortunately for this project, the students continued to work on the design issues through the fall semester while they were doing their last
