programs.Meanwhile, there are many lower ranked institutions for whom ABET accreditation isconsidered important, especially to their image and recruiting initiatives. While many admit thatparents rarely ask about accreditation, engineering accreditation is generally viewed as necessaryat all state institutions, and this regardless of rank. Minimum standards also serve a purpose atlower ranked institutions, since they often need to work to meet ABET’s requirements. In thiscontext, a shortcoming—ideally a concern, or at most an initial report of a weakness that can beaddressed before the final decision—can be instrumental for deans and department heads togarnering resources, such as faculty lines and better laboratory facilities, needed to

EngineeringIntroductionGraduate student instructors are essential to the teaching team at many research institutions.They often lead laboratories, discussion sessions, and/or hold office hours; and are the primaryliaison between students and faculty. As such, they not only influence student learning, but theycan also be agents of change and improve student retention [1]. Therefore, the training of studentinstructors is critical to enhancing the student experience as well as the classroom climate.Additionally, meaningful assessment of student instructor professional development is criticalfor ensuring quality of such training.To support their key role in the teaching-learning environment, the College of Engineering (CoE)at the University of Michigan requires training of

An example that includes engineering and software community-engagement is the EPICSProgram that has engaged students at Purdue University for more than two decades. It has grownsignificantly in size and breadth to where it is recognized as an independent academicprogram within the College of Engineering with dedicated laboratories and teaching staff. In theFall semester of 2018, over 700 were enrolled and engaged in more than 150 projects with 57community partners. While the program began within Electrical and Computer Engineeringexclusively, it has become explicitly multidisciplinary with an average of about 40 majorsparticipating in a typical year, and it includes
microsystem can be described as settings or environments with which an individual interactson a regular basis. An example of typical microsystems would include schools, classrooms,offices, laboratories, and even, makerspaces. According to Bailey et al., microsystems can oftenhave different effects on the individual, where each environment brings about a differentinfluence, just as the individual interacts with each environment in a unique way [26]. 5Critical Race Theory - Counter-storytellingCritical Race Theory (CRT) is utilized as a framework in studies where racial inequalities in asociety are addressed and analyzed, in this case, the White, male

Access denied: Barriers for transfer students to research experiences and cohort modelprograms (Cynthia Hampton and Stephen Secules). Many co-curricular support efforts rely onstudents gaining research experiences in a structured and mentored setting. For most engineeringresearch laboratories, there are one or more required prerequisite courses that a student mustcomplete before they can be used. In many cases, these courses are taken by students during theirfreshman or sophomore year. Thus, transfer students are unable to access these labs withouthaving to take these courses out of sequence.

best-practices available for students with physical or visible disabilities and those with non-visible disabilities for both lecture-based classrooms and active learning environments. Classroom and laboratory spaces are made physically accessible for a wide range of bodies. Accessibility options like extra time and providing multi-modal instructions via video or notes are achievable and have been widely implemented. Assessment like homeworks, tests, individual assignments can be adjusted to meet the needs of the individual student. Approaches like delivering content through multiple modes seeks to engage a (relatively) neurodiverse student body. ● Active learning
This is challenging for the students,especially in a group environment such as senior capstone design. Likewise, studies have shownthat the international students have a difficult time succeeding in courses requiring the students togive formal presentations, which is true in senior capstone design.9,36,54 During the qualitative datacollection, international students often cited the nontraditional mode of course presentationsinstead of traditional course learning modes (sitting in class or laboratory). Further, internationalstudents expressed concern that their limited English-speaking ability may adversely affect theirteam.It was also found that the student’s intrinsic value decreased overall from the beginning of the fallsemester of senior

The University of East Anglia has been delivering a ‘Rotation PhD’in which students visit different labs in 10-week long research mini-projects, directed bydifferent supervisors and trained in different techniques. The ‘Integrated PhD’ at theUniversity of Southampton has offered 3 laboratory rotation projects after which the studentis awarded an MRes (Master of Research) and they then spend 3 more years deepening theirexpertise towards a PhD degree. These approaches have been successful over the years anddemonstrate an appetite for very varied, skills-training focused programs that provide theresearcher with broader knowledge and varied competencies that prepare them foremployment.
