them in this goal.There are many resources out there to facilitate such dialogues and reflections that faculty mentorsor mentees could use to support these tough mentoring conversations, and the researchers of thiswork encourage interested mentors and mentees to seek these resources out [32]–[34]. By bringingthese topics to the forefront of conversation, we can spark meaningful dialogues surrounding thepositive, inclusive mentorship of all women in engineering disciplines that is responsive to theirintersectional identities, so that faculty advisors of any gender or background can feel morecomfortable in reaching out for guidance in how to support their women mentees. Other dialogues that mentors fostered with their mentees involved

time a student is taught to use a model for asystem in the Laplace Domain only, they lose the fact that the controller designed will not workover the whole range of the input constraints. In fact, that is more a rarity than the norm. Transferfunctions for lime kilns, cardiac arrest patients, reactive etchers, etc. do not hold for the range ofinputs outlined in final projects given to students[8]. Representing a nonlinear multivariableprocess by a matrix of transfer functions leads to real repercussions for students that think theseare at least close to accurate models that reflect a dynamic range of responses over the inputconstraints. And instead end up with a system that a single controller can regulate. There are nooperating regions

when looking for an industry practitioner to be a lecture guest speaker,most of the time you have some experienced white male, which reflects the non-diversefield as a whole and the issue about diversity and inclusion”. Faculty instructors also agreedwith the difficulty of accessing a diverse group of practitioners which makes it moredifficult to ensure diversity when inviting them to any academic activity (e.g., capstonementorship, workshops, conference speaker, lecture guest speaker). To know how companies involve their employees in DEI, we asked practitioners ifthey knew (awareness) about DEI Statements in their company. We found that, out of the249 participants, 71% of professionals identified DEI statements in their companies, 12

Moreover, it wasnot clear at the beginning of the term when courses would return to in person, only that theywould eventually. Therefore, this was a particularly disruptive term for the students who had allpreviously experienced the transition to online learning in Spring 2020 and had transitioned backto in person courses by Fall 2021, only to return to online courses in Winter 2022 due to thespread of highly contagious COVID-19 variants.

among educators. Some faculty have completely banned AI use in theircourses, while others embrace AI as a new learning tool [6].The emergence of AI is prompting civil engineering faculty to reflect on whether we shouldadjust our educational approaches. For civil engineering faculty at accredited institutions, wemust look to ABET for guidance [9]. While the current guidelines do not address specific toolsand methodologies, it seems reasonable to expect that AI may become part of standard practiceused to solve engineering problems (addressing ABET Student Outcome 1). The application ofAI may also be useful in developing engineering designs that are holistic and meet a variety ofpublic needs (addressing ABET Student Outcome 2). Communication

However, in [33], the possibility of astudent forgetting to write down an equation needed on their equation sheet and thus not having iton the test was raised.Some research has addressed deeper questions of equation sheets, their advantages, and theirpossible down side, with [34] indicated that students trying to transfer knowledge from calculusto physics and later to engineering relying heavily, perhaps too heavily, on equation sheets.

Theengineers' social and political beliefs are always reflected in their practices and their work [16],[17]. Engineering as a heterogeneous practice should be aware of its entangled social justiceissues and work with the communities when creating designs [11], [18], [19].Engineering education is moving towards perceiving engineering as a sociotechnical field notonly because of the shifting ideology described above but also because the movement can betterengage students’ identities, hence broadening participation in engineering [8], [20].

Reflecting on the student feedback led to the establishment of aset of best practices that could improve the development and delivery of future MBL assessments.Redesigning the MBL assessment following these principles resulted improved post-course evaluationsduring the 2022 and 2023 offerings of MD1 (Tab. 1; ’22-‘23).The best practices used to improve the MBL approach for MD1 are briefly summarized below:Best Practice 1: Each mastery skill should only evaluate one well-defined skillIt is recommended that skills requiring complex multistep solutions are broken into separate skills.

Starting in Fall 2023, 13 activities wereintroduced to improve the course. The activities can be grouped into three categories: (A)Demonstrating the worth of the course to the students; (B) Making class fun; and (C

In future iterations of this work, we could ask studentsquestions such as: In your view, what does it look like to have a classroom community? Is havinga sense of community important to you in your graduate courses? Why or why not?It could also be helpful to explain to the students the purpose of the focus group beforehand.Students seemed to be expecting to give feedback in a manner similar to a course evaluation andanswer questions

. It represents a behavioral aspect of well-being and has beenrecognized as a significant predictor of various learning behaviors and achievement outcomes[11, 12]. According to Renshaw and Bolognino (2016) [6], academic efficacy encompasseselements of both cognitive and behavioral well-being. However, their analysis suggests that itpredominantly reflects behavioral well-being rather than cognitive well-being. This implies thatacademic efficacy is more closely associated with the persistent pursuit of goals anddetermination rather than solely cognitive abilities or beliefs about one's capabilities.3.
