This data can supplement primary assessments of courseparticipation; critically, this data facilitates more-equitable assessment of class engagement,especially for students who are less inclined to participate in synchronous
a 10 hour per week commitment of research from undergraduate students. In addition toresearch hours, students are required to attend monthly professional development sessionsfocused on best practices in research, program deliverables, and community building. Exampletopics include maximizing your research experience, communication, research ethics, academicwriting, poster design, and an overview to graduate school. At the conclusion of the program,students are required to present their research as a poster and write an associated researchabstract.To apply for the program, students connect with a faculty member and write a short 1 to 2 pageresearch proposal describing the type of work they will be doing, the importance of the research,and a

However, with the recognition of the increasing importance of computationalliteracy as a valuable learning outcome within undergraduate courses, a new framework ofdata-informed learning i.e., learning that emphasizes the use of data within a specific disciplinarycontext, while constructively building on students’ past experiences, is being used progressivelyas a tool to promote lifelong learning in higher education (Maybee & Zilinski, 2015).An empirically motivated case-study by Magana et al.

Professional responsibility is modeledand practiced throughout as timeliness, respect, appropriate dress, appropriate language are allmade explicit with continuous feedback coming from faculty and staff. Teamwork skills areprovided in seminars and practiced in design teams. Multiple workshops per week address topicssuch as: inclusion, ethical action, leadership, reflection, management, happiness, life-workbalance, overcoming adversity, and communication. Each week during the EDP students writethree one-page learning journal entries, most of which are reflective prompts from some aspectof professional learning.

Some institutions haveadopted a fully online instructional approach, while others provide a blended learning type, usingsupportive systems and implementing tools such as Moodle, Blackboard, Atutor, and CanvasLMS,among others. Effective online class is important for achieving institutional goals of both teachingand learning in higher education.

In the early 2000s, engineering professional societies reportedunderdeveloped writing and presentation skills in entry-level job candidates while, at the sametime, stressing the time spent in a typical engineer’s day on communication tasks [1, 2]. At thesame time, ABET adopted new criteria for evaluating and accrediting engineering programs [3].The criteria focused on developing “soft skills” including teamwork, ethics, and effectivecommunication, among others. The importance of soft skills has only grown in the interveningyears. Among ABET’s student outcomes as listed in 2019-2020 is “an ability to apply written,oral, and graphical communication in broadly-defined technical and non-technical environments;and an

Some today referto these people skills with the term collegiality (American Association of University Professors[AAUP], 1999; Connell & Savage, 2001). In recent years there has been some effort to includecollegiality in institutional promotion and tenure documents, although this has not achieved thestatus traditionally given to research, teaching, and service.
