Learned” paper is to investigate how former graduate studentleaders can employ their experiences to achieve and excel in service requirements as juniortenure-track faculty members. Research skills, and increasingly teaching ability, have been coreto the graduate student curriculum, and match the majority of faculty tenure requirements.However, preparation for the service requirement is often overlooked at both the graduatestudent and faculty level. While a small part of the overall tenure package, there is an unspokenpresumption that faculty members will be able to serve effectively and efficiently. In STEMcurricula, the development of interpersonal skills is often overlooked. While this may not be animpediment in research communications, faculty

Our engineering and computer science student population is approximately90% male, 85% white, and 38% of our students are commuters. Because of this, demographicdata beyond major and course year was not collected as it would have prevented the anonymityof our student’s responses. Beginning with the summer following sophomore year, theengineering curriculum will alternate a full-time co-op with a semester of full-time coursework;ending senior year with consecutive spring and summer semesters of full-time courses,graduating in August.

institutional policies (or lack thereof), professional and personal networks, interactionswith colleagues and students, and articulated (or not) expectations all combine to createparticular climates and experiences for faculty at institutions of higher education throughout theUnited States in 2020. Those show gendered and race-based patterns. Many of the activities thatare integral to the reputation and function of an organization are often performed by women andfaculty of color. These activities, especially administrative and curriculum-based ones, tend torequire time and expertise but are not typically rewarded in traditional academic promotionstructures [1, 33, 6, 34, 31, 35]. In fact, research indicates that women faculty overwhelminglyare tasked

This would support both a simplification of thecontext while maintaining realistic relations [23, 24].

In construction engineering education, the curriculum ranges from the means andmethods for a construction process, to line items required for estimating a task, the time it takesto schedule an activity, to the required temporary structures for the completion of a constructionproject. As such, faculty should be engaging with a variety of learning styles in developing theirclass activities. Students in Construction Management/Engineering, and Architecture programsgenerally prefer two learning styles; visual and kinesthetic [1]. For this reason, the researchersdecided to develop an educational prop to instruct the means and methods required to construct aone-story concrete building, focusing on formwork, and placement of reinforcement

Final examperformance was lower than in previous years, which may suggest that the mid-semestermodality shift impacted their ability to fully synthesize material from the semester. Future courseofferings will use the project to provide students with authentic engagement with GIS and real-world topics, while QGIS will remain an option for remote instruction.IntroductionAt midterms of the Spring 2020 semester, all classes at The Citadel were rapidly transitioned toan emergency online modality due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Leijon and Lundgren[22] have performed work on interconnecting between the physical course instruction locationand “virtual spaces” to focus in creating interaction opportunities between students and theinstructor. Keiper, et al. [23] have experimented with HyFlex integration of the pre-existingFlipGrid. Beatty [24] has proposed the use of HyFlex as a transitional approach to fully onlineinstruction. An urgent need for flexibility and transition capability was created by the COVID-19 pandemic [25], though many universities were moving towards offering partially or fullyonline programs prior to the pandemic.Several studies have assessed the HyFlex model, Kyei-Blankson [26

[22], [23], have found that engineering students seem tostruggle with and resist social context and engagement with public welfare concerns andsocial consciousness in engineering– which are factors relevant to their engagement withhuman-centred designing.This paper stands with these ongoing calls for the engagement and integration of such notionsin a civil engineering curriculum, and so we propose a psychology-informed approach. Thisis to facilitate these integrations, but with the intention of bypassing the possible resistance –by

The practitioner(s) proposesa specific project with relevant work efforts that will complement their real-world assignmentsand can be completed by undergraduate environmental science and engineering capstonestudents. Faculty members work with the practitioner to refine the proposed capstone project tomeet the educational objectives of the capstone course. These mutually beneficial relationshipsresult in positive “community engagement” which is an increasingly important factor touted byuniversities. The positive community engagement aspect of capstone projects is especiallyimportant to state-funded universities for student recruiting, promoting programs to non-localalumni and for interacting with
styles. Research thatsupports efficacy of online education [19, 20, 21] highlights important features such as teacherpreparedness, clear guidelines, and structured coursework. These online courses typically arearranged in advance with planning and thorough organization about six to nine months before thecourse is delivered [17]. Another study found that aspects of online education that are integral tolearning virtually include staff's readiness and confidence, student accessibility and studentmotivation [23].This past March 2020, Universities across the U.S. experienced an emergency shift to remoteteaching almost overnight [24]. This sudden shift caused courses designed for face-to-faceinstruction to be moved online for “remote learning
