Reflection on Faculty DevelopmentAbstractMany engineering faculty have been involved in some form of engineering education research(EER) during their professional career. This may range from a relatively superficial participationas a collaborator on a small departmental education initiative to a larger role in a leadershipposition as a principal investigator on a multi-institutional research grant. Regardless of the levelof involvement, each engineering educator must evolve and invest substantial time to acquire alevel of EER knowledge that is commensurate with their desired degree of participation. Forthose educators who are motivated to fully immerse themselves into a potentially rewarding EERprogram with the expectation of perpetuity, their

Summary and Outlook It is well-demonstrated in education research that effective curriculum implementation iscritical to success.[4] We developed our implementation strategies for virtual and hybrid outreachby maintaining a stable volunteer corps through multiple events and reflecting on volunteer andstudent experiences and outcomes. Each of the outreach modalities presented here (entirelyvirtual, hybrid classroom, and hybrid community) was designed to meet a need at a specific timegiven the restrictions in place. With the gradual reopening of schools to visitors in Spring 2022we have begun in-person visits again but will likely use lessons learned from the past two yearsin implementing new programs. We have

. Therefore, conveying engineering ideas, a topic that is already complex, exponentially increasedin difficulty. It took a major sense of empathy to grasp the challenge that Brazilian students were havingfully. To communicate in your non-native language all day with fluent speakers is draining, compoundedby the stress of meeting project deadlines; students must take a step back and reflect upon the struggles ofothers. Additionally, the Brazilian mentor was another interesting dynamic that must be navigated. Theywere the head point of communication for all case studies and relayed sensitive information about theCPFL’s internal struggles. Navigating these foreign relationships effectively determined the group’ssuccess. Being able to synthesize
