Using a survey instrument developed through a multi-institution research collaboration [5, 6], we have identified a collection of non-cognitive factorsthat can account for over 26% of the variance in a student’s GPA, well above the 10% variancethat the SAT/ACT score can predict [7]. While there is a myriad of ways to characterize students’ NCA profiles, a recentlycompleted cluster analysis using Gaussian Mixture Modeling has identified four distinct clustersof students using these NCA factors, and the model accounted for 69.0% of participants [8]. Anincluded preliminary analysis indicated that membership within any of the four clusters was onlyweakly, if at all

Virtual Reality is becominga powerful tool for multisensory teaching; it enhances learning by using imagery and haptics torepresent concepts and notions. Project-based interdisciplinary learning offers students a broaderperspective over systems’ integration while exploring fundamental notions of the topics studied[1, 2].

Further, “given the escalatingdemands for 'work-ready’ undergraduates and the resulting heavy workload of engineeringfaculty and students, adding direct and recurring communications instruction to the engineeringcurriculum represents a significant challenge” [2].

Although they oftenhave good intentions to help students succeed, faculty often attribute the academic barriers to thestudents’ lack of preparation, motivation, or effort to learn. Research studies [1] showed that thisdeficit mindset of instructors negatively impacts the students’ self-efficacy and hinders theiracademic growth. A recent report from the National Academies [2] highlighted the need to createa learner-centered culture that “meets students where they are.” This raises an important yetchallenging question for faculty development: “What can be done to help transform facultyperception to achieve such cultural change?”As a Very High-enrolled Hispanic Serving
