optimummaterials, design, feature sets, and engineering processes. This approach to engineering anddesign may be counter-intuitive to the well-trained engineer who has not previously consideredthe power of markets in establishing the prevailing definition of “value”.The notions of “difficult to copy” and “difficult to substitute” are also market or, at least,industry specific terms, but they are not difficult for engineers or scientists to appreciate. Theirstandard training involves the competitive quest to be original and to strive for recognition basedon this originality. This training focuses on career development through originality, not businessdevelopment. Still, the concepts transfer well. Scientists and engineers are taught to regardoriginality as

The goal of the research site is consistent with the goalof the NSF-REU program: to provide promising undergraduate students with a complete,mentored research experience, to better prepare these students for graduate school orprofessional pursuits and encourage them to pursue a career in science [15].

This paper will provide a brief overview of research into the effect of professor (andstudent) gender on the SET scores, and briefly explore recommendations for mitigating theeffects of bias.SET is intended to quantify teaching effectiveness. However, it is not clear that this is what SETsolely (or even primarily) measures. For example, one study showed a weak but positivecorrelation between the

SCCT seeks to predict how academic interests are formed and themeans by which academic performance is achieved. College GPA and retention were used asperformance criterion in the model. SCCT is based on the premise that general cognitive talent(i.e. academic preparedness), as represented by a students’ standardized test scores and highschool GPA, impacts college GPA and retention.

two meetings were dedicated to discussing mentorship-related needsengineering faculty have and brainstorming potential next steps. The informal component ofmentorship emerged as an important theme in these discussions because it occurs daily in subtleways. Although these interacts continuously affect faculty development, they are difficult tomanage or support structurally. The team conducted a “customer discovery” or havingdiscussions with recently promoted faculty to learn more about their mentorship-related needs.The reasoning for this is that incoming faculty receive a great deal of onboarding support whenthey first begin their faculty careers. There are ample workshops and other resources to supportthem in teaching, research, work-life
