teaching behavior, ratherthan tool use per se, which the authors posit is not necessary for faculty observation programs[22]. Excluding the use of instructional artifacts misses tool mediation, a key tenet of ActivityTheory and an essential point in our work. It is critical to capture when (and what) technologiesare used, if they successfully support the intent of the activity, and what the ramifications of thisuse are because tools shape the way people interact with their reality; knowing how to use a tooldemonstrates transmission of social and cultural knowledge [12].A more recent protocol, the Classroom Discourse Observation Protocol (CDOP) [5], developedin 2019, references the RTOP, TDOP, and COPUS, and distinguishes itself from those

Women engineering students oftenperform equally well or better academically than men [3]. However, in the U.S., only 23% of theengineering bachelor’s degrees were awarded to women in 2020, and as of 2019, women heldabout 14% of engineering positions in the workplace [2].

Some standard policies and practices are described below.CommunicationTo foster a culture of COI transparency and accountability, universities must activelycommunicate policies and procedures to internal and external stakeholders (Annane et al., 2019).Direct communication with and between faculty and students can increase trust and enhancecompliance with disclosure requirements (Harman, 2022). Internally, COI policies should becommunicated directly to faculty, students, and staff through face-to-face meetings, universitywebsites, meetings, and workshops. Externally, universities should communicate with fundingagencies, industry partners, and
