Academic Reflections give Scholars an opportunity to reflect on theirmost recent semester as they are about to enter a new semester and to analyze what went well,what went less well, and what they might do differently going forward. It also gives moreadvanced students in the cohort a chance to mentor younger students in the same degreeprogram, which both helps younger Scholars succeed academically and strengthens the socialbonds of the cohort. Scholars consistently rate these opportunities to get to know and learn fromone another as among their favorite aspects of CLEAR Scholars. Month

The first metric is time, represented by a clock that changes as decisionsare made. The other three metrics are safety, personal reputation, and output. Performance onthese metrics is shown by an icon that indicates relative performance (i.e, a smile indicates goodperformance, a frown indicates negative performance, etc.). Within the virtual environment,participants are also given reflection prompts that seek to better understand the conditions thatmight have influenced their decisions. Reflection prompts were designed in alignment withKohlberg’s moral development theory and include pre-conventional, conventional, and post

Phase I leverages bothcollaborative inquiry and collaborative autoethnography, guiding our exploration of our livedexperiences and respective academic cultures. Initially focusing on our own experiences, as earlycareer engineering education faculty, allows a deeper understanding of our experiences, bothgood and bad, that may not be revealed in a less intimate approach. The longitudinal nature ofour approach also makes it possible for us to document and reflect on our experiences and howwe navigate obstacles.

The summer campinvolved 3 in-service teachers, 5 graduate students, and 8 undergraduate students working asSTEM summer camp facilitators for 77 middle school students. The pilot study focused on the 3in-service teachers as they navigated working with students in both formal and informal spaces.The goal of the pilot study was to generate some information of in-service teachers’ perceptionsof funds of knowledge and the strategies that teachers used in understanding and elicitingstudents' funds of knowledge.

The application of the standards across the three courses has commonelements (e.g., the ability to choose standard versus creativity-based assessments) anddifferences to reflect instructor style and course content (e.g., incorporation of design aspects inmore advanced courses).

At thebeginning of the semester, assignments focused on ethics, teaming, how to do a literature reviewand document research, and other preliminary topics.

Data collection involved the use of three carefullydeveloped questions in both transportation (with 3 contextual representations) and hydraulicdesign (with 4 contextual representations).
