The average class size in a civil engineering discipline specific course is around 25.One of the missions of the department is for graduates to possess strong written and oralcommunication skills. Communication skills of the students are developed throughout the civilengineering curriculum starting with laboratory reports in the sophomore year through a year-long, industrially sponsored capstone design experience where students prepare writtenproposals, design reports, memos, reflection papers, and posters for an external project sponsor.

In this paper, we presentthe results from focus groups collected from the community at the 2022 American Society forEngineering Education (ASEE) Annual Conference & Exposition and the 2022 ASEE/AmericanInstitute for Chemical Engineers (AIChE) Summer School. The Summer School is a week-longprofessional development opportunity with the goal of providing practical tools to get facultyrapidly and securely on track for a successful career in academia.We paid particular attention to qualitative data that reflected participants’ values, attitudes, andbeliefs and represented their perspective or worldview on chemical engineering education.

It is taught in the Spring semester as “Ethics in Science and Engineering Researchand Practice.” The class size varies between 6 to 12 students per year taking the course as agraduate elective in Systems Engineering. In 2022 the class had 16 students, including 2 AfricanAmericans and 1 undergraduate student admitted by special permission. In most years the studentsin the class are White and Asian, reflecting the composition of the graduate student body inEngineering at UVA. The class covers the professional codes of ethics, ethical theories, ethicaldilemmas, and issues in applied ethics supported by case studies from the National Society ofProfessional Engineers and the Online

Each tip is formatted with a “reflect” section that introduces theconcept and data, a “learn” section that explains how it manifests and how to recognize it, and a“change” section that suggests how to act on the new information. Most of the topics addresssome aspect of intersectionality with gender and the timing is synchronized with nationalrecognition of specific groups (e.g., highlighting Native American women in academia duringNative American Heritage Month).Data Review Group: In

The number ofnew faculty with disabilities is also expected to increase because greater numbers of individualswith disabilities are graduating with PhDs in STEM and are thus potential candidates for joiningthe professoriate [1]–[3]. Because students benefit from role models who reflect their ownidentities—as well as from exposure to instructors and mentors with diverse backgrounds—it isworthwhile to cultivate a diverse faculty, including disabled faculty [4]. People with disabilitiesbenefit from meeting or learning about role models and mentors that have navigated issuessurrounding accessibility and accommodations in education and employment settings [5], [6].The AccessADVANCE project was funded in

While 8organizational expectations focused on the company’s desires or values; what the companyexpected out of an individual and the requirements necessary for said individual to be considereda viable asset to the company. Memos reflecting organizational expectations were as follows, “Ithink that the job requires a certain amount of skills in order to be hired” and “I would think thatthis company takes pride in their product and ensure that their quality control is accurate andefficient”. Now, there was also the occurrence of these two categories of expectationsoverlapping with one another. For example

Second, this work will also advance our scientific understanding of studententrepreneurship, an important yet under-researched topic. Third, the interventions developed inthis study also have practical implications, as they appear to provide a cost-efficient means toincrease interest in STEM entrepreneurship within undergraduate populations in at least onemajor University in the United States.Hypothesis development Prior work in psychology posits that the way both traits and psychological states affectaction depends on context, and, importantly, that psychological states are malleable [33].

reflects findings from Botelho et al., who suggest that the educational use of a computersimulation is the emphasis on exploring by running the simulation numerous times. This allowsstudents to examine various scenarios and assumptions as part of the “theory-buildingprocess”[13]. This then allows the students to gain some hands-on experience at the comfort oftheir computer, with the flexibility of running the model as many times as needed. It also allowsthem to take note of their iterations as part of their scientific inquiry (See Appendix A Fig 2.).Additionally, an interesting finding was that teachers reported that some students interacted withthe MATLAB live scripts interface as a “game” and showed some level of excitement using it.This is

However, for the Scholars who did not achieve a C, the PI ran a mini-course after the semesterended, to raise their skill levels to C level. Out of the two, one was able to continue to the next course,while it was recommended to the other, that he change his major to a two-year electrical technologymajor, which he eventually did. It should be noted that the student who did not achieve the skills neededto continue in the major, also scored very poorly on our department’s math pre-Calculus assessment tests,even though he scored at least a C in Pre-Calculus, Calculus I and Calculus II, which indicates that gradesdo not always reflect
