Sustainability. For six weeks in the summer, accompanied by severalprofessional learning workshops throughout the school year, rural middle and high schoolmathematics and science teachers engage in a research program within the College ofEngineering. The main goal of the program is for teachers to develop an in-depth understandingof how research principles, engineering applications, and the engineering design process (EDP)can enhance the delivery of instruction in their content area through standards-based instruction.The intent is to create a pedagogical shift in how the teacher approaches lesson plan designcreating more meaningful, engaging, and authentic learning experiences for their students. Aunique aspect of this program is the focus on rural

Teachers also translated their researchexperience into curriculum incorporating the engineering practice of mathematical andcomputational thinking and described the lessons they learned from the research process throughfocus group interviews, seminar presentations, and lesson plans.

Most educational researchers agree that the self-regulation process is a cyclical process andincludes three major phases: (1) planning, during which learners set goals, make strategic plans,and judge their self-efficacy; (2) execution, which involves learner's performance and control oftheir learning efforts, and use of learning management strategies and self-monitoring; and (3)self-reflection, which involves the self-evaluation of mastery, causal attributions, and reactions tothe learning task and performance after

Formative feedback on these plans included weeklyfeedback from graduate student, research mentors, resource specialists from Engineering Projectsin Community Service (EPICS) at PU, and the other teachers in the RET program. Teachers were also embedded into the research groups of their mentors: they attendedgoup meetings, discussed research results, and conducted laboratory work, modeling exercises,or other utilized other methodologies to answer their research questions.

Forexample, Lattuca and Stark [15] note how internal (e.g., to the institution) influences, such as theinstitutional mission, financial resources, the characteristics of students, and faculty governancestructures are important factors shaping curricular decision making.Indeed, decades of research has connected institutional missions to prescribed

These same skills improve engineeringstudent learning in present educational contexts and are connected to lifelong learning.

These two courses teach a variety ofimportant topics, and both traditionally had project elements of technical innovation (MECE1101) and career path planning (UNIV 1301) that required to be formalized into proper projects.For this purpose, the Challenge Based Instruction (CBI) approach (Fuentes et al., 2008;Bransford et al., 1999; Freeman et al., 2016) was chosen to guide the steps of the parallelprojects.

We are specifically investigatinghow their experiences in community college influence their plans for future education andcareers. While the diversity of 4-year universities has remained stagnant, the diversity ofcommunity college student populations is actually increasing. Therefore, community collegesrepresent a potential source of talent for future engineers from diverse backgrounds. We arecurrently in the first year of data collection where we have piloted the study at one of the datacollection sites.

This program was Page 24.1403.2successful in helping more students choose graduate school since they could get a Master’sdegree in just one year past the Bachelor’s degree, saving both time and money. However, not allstudents eligible for graduate school choose to do the 4 + 1 plan or are qualified for theaccelerated program and money is still a problem for these students.

Spring2020 was certainly not the semester we had planned due to disruptions from COVID-19, we areoverall quite pleased with this initial offering of the course.What worked well?First and foremost, we should acknowledge we had a small and highly engaged group of 18students enrolled in this course. During the first weeks of the semester, students were able tobuild a strong bond with each other and the instructor. This served as an excellent foundationwhen we transitioned to emergency remote teaching (ERT) roughly halfway through thesemester. We capitalized on the opportunity to explore students’ response to COVID and ERTas well as their response to the course itself [1].One lesson we took from our research into CSPs was the importance of connecting

And yet, the professionalformation of engineers is largely reliant on faculty to enhance course-specific and broaderdevelopmental outcomes. We know that “high-quality teaching is essential to retain qualifiedengineering students” [3] and decades of effort have resulted in many evidence-based approachesfor achieving these technical and broader developmental outcomes; still, these approaches oftenremain unused. Recently, research has been conducted to try to understand characteristics ofpedagogical innovations and dissemination plans that lead to adoption of new practices amongfaculty (Table 1
