essay: This assignment encouraged students to critically read and analyze literature in the engineering pedagogy field. Students chose one of the module topics described above and were asked to choose at least three readings on this topic out of a list provided by the instructors. The essay prompt required students to challenge the perspectives and assumptions of the readings’ authors in order to develop their own opinions on the topic. 3. Peer observation and reflection: Students observed and were observed teaching by a peer from the class. Observers were asked to provide constructive feedback on strengths and areas for growth, after which the observed student would write a reflection on the process and how

First, a sample of women who havealready completed an undergraduate engineering degree from a public university was studied.Secondly, women in their upper division year of their undergraduate degree program were askedto reflect on their experiences over their undergraduate career. Both of these groups of womenwere asked questions from the same interview protocol. Finally, classes were observed anddiscourse was analyzed in gatekeeper courses to understand the interaction of women and theirprofessors as well as women with their peers, both male and female.

It is typical for instructors in science, technology, engineering, andmathematics (STEM) to adopt more traditional pedagogical approaches1. Traditional approachesare often linked to a belief that students come into class “empty,” waiting to be filled with all theknowledge that the instructor can give them1. With this mindset, the role of the instructor is todisseminate as much knowledge as possible within the time allotted; the role

): Preparing Junior ColleaguesAbstractDespite the importance of professional development, for most graduate students as up-and-coming faculty members professional development is informal at best. Graduate programs oftenemphasize gaining technical knowledge, skills, and abilities through courses and researchprojects, but provide less opportunity for future faculty members to gain experience withteaching, service, communication, assessment, proposal writing, etc. To provide this experience,we developed the Rising Engineering Education Faculty Experience (REEFE).
