doingmore mentoring than the graduate students perceive. Even in estimating the frequency ofguidance given in conducting research, for example, faculty believe they frequently giveguidance while students feel that guidance is more occasional.In addition, the survey data show how little preparation is given to students for the teaching andmentoring function of an academic career. This finding is supported by research showing thatgraduate students feel unprepared for the teaching required for an academic career [8]. If the goalof an increase in the number of URM faculty members is to be reached, more care should go intothinking about how we’re preparing URM students to take that path. 2.

They concluded that 42% of suchdemographic groups do not pursue STEM fields given their lack of access to quality education thatprepare them for such careers, while 41% because they were not encouraged to pursue STEM froman early age.II. PROPOSED WORKGiven the concerning and alarming statistics, it is imperative for supporting the cognitive andsocial development of underrepresented students. At the microlevel, which is the classroom,faculty members can and do play an important role the educational progression of students. Thismeans that faculty members can and should take a proactive role in supporting, promoting, andadvocating for educational equity that help advance the educational success of

less than 10% of them declare engineering as a major [29]. Wehave begun a line of inquiry into the ways in which students who have already matriculated intoengineering construct smartness [11, 22, 30, 31]. We have also explored the beliefs thatuniversity faculty hold about the nature of intelligence [32]. However, it is with this contributionthat we look at the construction of smartness by high school science and engineering students.Other influential work on the construction of smartness in K-12 education, such as work by Hatt[3] draws on empirical evidence from much younger students (e.g., kindergarten). By studyingthe beliefs of high school students directly, we begin to build an understanding that can lead todisrupting such beliefs that

In summary, the suite of developedmodules that are embedded into the first-year engineering design course should lead to thedevelopment of an ethical mindset at the outset of students’ engineering education.Overview of Ethics Education in EngineeringDespite a consensus that ethics is an important topic for engineering students, its incorporationinto undergraduate courses remains mixed [2] [3] [4].

Feedback from those students and their professors indicates teaching in person in a classroom is a much better, more authentic experience than remote instruction. Student feedback about in-person class and lab is largely positive because of the amount of interaction between students and faculty. f. I am concerned that

Pre-tenure faculty or graduate students would not be wise to contact some track coordinatorsbecause, depending on the conference, this can get early-career scholars blackballed or labeled as“difficult,” especially white women and scholars of color. Similarly, early-career scholars cannotalways risk withdrawing a paper that has been accepted for publication simply because thereviewer doesn’t accept their methodological or linguistic choices.Second, the power of the reject in most cases (as in this one) is that it is a coalitional move—thepurpose of a reveal is to seek out others who might be willing to work with you to replace unjustbehaviors, procedures, etc. In this case, the lead author was able to reveal directly to

He has worked most of his academic career to improve theway students learn engineering concepts by making sure they are engaged and their personalexperiences are valued in the classroom. He is originally from Venezuela where he worked for11 years as a faculty member at a public technical university. Here in the U.S., he has alsoworked at a predominantly white institution and interacted as well as experienced how studentsfrom traditionally marginalized populations have barriers to become engineers. He hasintentionally tried to be aware of how to develop more inclusive experiences in both his researchand teaching practices, while
