With a few exceptions,community college faculty seek external funding to develop new academic programs, improvecurricula and teaching, or implement student-centered professional development programs, oftenin partnerships with four-year institutions. Community college faculty's two main responsibilitiesare teaching and advising students. In this context, mentoring takes shape (Hensel, 2021). Forinstance, mentoring may occur in the classroom, the laboratory, and the office. In theirclassrooms, faculty uncover the hidden curriculum, introduce academic language, and promotethe notion of students becoming scholars

In addition, a new student joined the program mid-Spring 2021 based on the advocacyof one of the scholars to help a racially minoritized woman who was in a negative researchlaboratory environment. The director and collaborators mentored her by providing guidance onpolicies for relocating laboratories within her program. At the start of Spring 2021, faculty mentors in different departments, but still in STEMdisciplines, were assigned to eleven of the 12 students that requested external faculty mentors.In addition, monthly seminars were planned for teaching the principles of self-advocacy.

of Reading Assignments in Environmental Engineering Education for Effective Learning and Greater Student Engagement in an Era of Innovative Pedagogy and Emerging Technologies1.0 IntroductionSince the dawn of education, educators have been looking for ways to make teachingeffective and it has been a never-ending pursuit. Engineering education is no exception tothis. There have been numerous pedagogical advances such as focusing on students' learningstyles, teaching aids, in-class assessments, and use of more hands-on activities and multi-media, which made education more effective. Most engineering majors, some more thanothers, have dedicated laboratories for hands-on learning of specific
, such ashardware layouts and programming techniques. On the laboratory days, they applied andreinforced the learned knowledge through hands on experiments, such as building the robotframe, writing code in embedded C program and so on. By teaching in this manner the coursedoes not only focus on the traditional lecture style of teaching, but allows the material to reachstudents with different learning preferences. A few challenges were also incorporated into thecourseware, such as building a robot chassis and then requiring students to improve it bymounting sensors with only a limited amount of parts and time. This forced them to useinnovation and creativity in their design process. The culmination of the course was a final

Our Launch Lab program strives to implement and buildupon the insights garnered from these researchers mentioned above to ensure the long-termcareer success of our students.Launch Lab OverviewThe origin of YSU’s Launch Lab can be traced back to a conversation between an Art andMechanical Engineering Technology faculty in 2008. Their discussion centered around thecollaboration between STEM and Arts faculty to bring students from different disciplinestogether to work on interdisciplinary projects. Shortly after, the group began to use the name“Co-Lab” for collaborative laboratory. The first project with two students was completed in2009, and since that time, there have been typically three to four projects

In response tothese concerns, the AIChE Education Division developed a series of Virtual Communities ofPractice open to all chemical engineering faculty members regardless of career phase, title,tenure status, or other classifications. This paper will highlight the genesis of the AIChEEducation Division’s VCP program and describe its impact on faculty members’ professionaldevelopment during the COVID-19 pandemic.Materials and MethodsCreating a virtual community
