Paper ID #49600Designing and Developing Summer K-12 STEM Outreach Programs Througha Tenure-Track Faculty’s PerspectiveDr. Nathan Galinsky, West Virginia University Institute of Technology Dr. Nathan Galinsky is a tenure-track faculty in the chemical engineering department at WVU Tech since 2019. He has been actively involved in outreach within the university running six summer outreach programs since 2021 and being actively involved within the department and university in K-12 outreach, recruitment, and retention efforts. His educational research interests are on K-12 outreach, developing more engaging out of class
capabilities instilledby programs around the U.S., but the competencies these programs overlook. Engineeringprograms must find new methods of focusing on cross-disciplinary skill sets that are essential toengineering success. As recently as 2020, the ASEE survey for skills gaps in recent graduates echoed theseconcerns, listing communication skills and the ability to manage a project as areas that were lackingfor most newly graduated engineers [1]. This survey tasked educators to fill gaps in their curriculumat a pre-capstone level in response to these needs. Our present work responds to this gap. We seekto effectively develop our student engineers’ ability to think and communicate creatively withintheir knowledge of engineering. This

Justin completed their Ph.D. in Engineering Education (’22) and M.S. in Aeronautics and Astronautics (’21) at Purdue University, and two B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and Secondary Mathematics Education at the University of Nevada, Reno (’17). Atop their education, Justin is a previous NSF Graduate Research Fellow and has won over a dozen awards for research, service, and activism related to marginalized communities, including the 2020 ASEE ERM Division Best Diversity Paper for their work on test anxiety. As a previous homeless and food-insecure student, Justin is eager to challenge and change engineering engineering education to be a pathway for socioeconomic mobility and broader systemic

INTRODUCTIONAbstract - This study investigates the relationship betweenonline professional
classroom environments.However, while research trends indicate interest in studying faculty development, there is limitedresearch on faculty motivations specifically, as indicated by a 2019 search that identified 579publications for ‘faculty + development’ but only 87 publications for ‘faculty + motivation’ [24].Understanding faculty motivations for engaging in faculty development programs is essential fordesigning effective faculty development programs that align with faculty interests andinstitutional goals.Despite the recognized importance of CRP, there is limited research on the specific motivationsof engineering faculty to participate in faculty development programs focused on these inclusiveand equitable pedagogical approaches.
