academicadvisers who are tasked with advising the incoming class as well as teaching (Freeman,2016). These advisers work with incoming engineering students, starting the summer beforethey arrive, and continuing through their first year. The advisers utilize the Advising-as-Teaching model and collaborate on advising and mentoring students, facilitated by having co-located offices in a suite. Advisers work with each student to collaboratively determine thestudent’s educational goals and develop a path for her to achieve those goals.Each adviser’s primary objectives are to: • Each assist ~100 first-year students with their major selection and academic planning, then serve as a resource throughout their undergraduate careers; • Teach three courses

Indeed, if Making continues to be positioned as a prominent pathway to scienceand engineering careers, then it is essential for it not to become yet another context in which thepersistent underrepresentation of women and people of color tends

The first phase, led by a multidisciplinary team of university faculty,career scientists, staff, and supported by students, saw the implementation of a year-roundbiodiesel generation capability [7]. The project’s rationale stemmed from the institution’s sizeableagricultural operations (UMES is an 1890 land grant institution) which were undertaken by heavymachinery operating on copious amounts of traditional diesel fuel (Figure 1). Biodiesel, on theother hand, is a renewable alternative which can be produced by virgin oils extracted from oilseeds, or used oils, such as the waste oils from the university’s cafeteria.

curricular content makes a difference in shaping the beliefs and expectationsstudents hold as they transition into their professional careers. Such an assumption is warrantedgiven the way other topics appear in the curriculum. For example, if an emphasis on teamworkand problem-solving were not perceived as relevant to professional practice, then one would notexpect them to receive as much attention as they do4,5. Similarly, engineering ethics is anothersuch pivotal topic, and therefore one would expect it to appear in undergraduate courses. Yet,this is not uniformly the case.

(e.g., TexasA&M University, University of Georgia, and University of Florida). The overarching goal of forming STEM education focused programs across the UScampuses is to enhance the quality of the college students’ STEM learning experiences andattract diverse student populations to choose STEM as their careers. For this purpose, the STEMfaculty, who are the major actors in the students’ learning experiences, play a central role. It is critical to ensure that STEM education faculty in general and engineering educationfaculty in particular in the university levels are well informed about the evidence-basedpedagogies. Evidence-based pedagogies are often the ones that are student-centered and learner-oriented. An essay

One way to address this apparent shortcoming is to continue to refine the design of the stand-alone course, finding a better balance between the design task and the ethical considerations thatweave through it. We noted above that we placed a great deal of trust in the structure of the workin the course, and in the scaffolding we provided, to prompt students to connect design decisionswith ethical values. The self-reported data suggest this trust was not altogether misplaced, but thatwe may need to do more to foster an understanding of role responsibility and its importance in ourstudents’ future careers.
