making sure every student graduate and the course curriculum and all that stuff.Drawing from our findings, EIF are not just restricted to their primary duty of teaching, they arealso involved in multiple other roles across the leadership spectrum in engineering education.One of the EIF that typifies this is Victor. Victor is the associate department chair; as such, heenumerates the number of leadership roles he takes on in his department. I'm the associate chair in the department, I am in charge of the undergraduate curriculum. I support several of the tasks such as scheduling, managing personnel, laboratories. Also, I am, in part of academics, I'm an ABET accredited program evaluator. So, during the last cycle, I

He holds an M.S. in engineering management from the George Washington University and a Ph.D. in minority and urban education from the University of Maryland. In 2003, Bruk was hired by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHUAPL), where he worked on nanotech- nology and microsystems. In 2005 he left JHUAPL for a fellowship with the National Academies and researched methods of increasing the number of women in engineering. Later that year, he briefly served as a mathematics instructor in Baltimore City High Schools. From 2005 through 2018, Dr. Berhane directed

alsofeatured opportunities to develop a shared lexicon for ARDEI concepts and interrogate one's ownidentity and positionality.By making this a required course, we set the expectation that considering the societal impacts ofresearch is an important and natural part of the entire research process. We chose to expand anexisting professional development course for graduate students that originally solely coveredtopics like laboratory safety, library use, grant writing, and communication, to include ARDEIand social justice content. Into this predominately passive content, we added active and complexreflections and discussions of identity, bias, and (in)justice. We believe that developing thisreflective skill early sets students up to think about social

The faculty assigned higher salariesto the male applicants than to the female applicants. Males were given a 14% increase in meansalary over the females. The faculty also offered less career mentoring to the female candidatethan the male candidate. Interestingly, the gender, scientific field, age, and tenure status of thefaculty were not significant in these results. The observed gender bias seems to be pervasiveamong all faculty.It was found

classroom in general.The participants in this study indicated that it is important to them that teaching strategiespromote collaboration and discussion in class. Accordingly, Kovarik, Robinson, & Wenzel [19]state that when students engage in collaborative activities, they are more likely to form newfriendships with their classmates, both in lectures and in the laboratory. In turn, this encouragessocialization and can result in students identifying study partners with whom to connect outsideof class time. In addition, collaborative work helps people to practice verbal and writtencommunication skills. All this enhances self-efficacy and sense of belonging. Related to this,participants suggested that the frequency of field activities should be

This uptake allows us to resist the tendency toexplain away critical or purposeful reading practices: “Oh, I was never asked to read this ingraduate school!” Or, “Yeah, we don’t really read ‘that stuff’ in engineering.”These trends represent some pain points that the field might do well to reflect and act on. Evenwithin the field’s efforts to address equity and inclusion, Black women’s knowledge appears tobe delegitimized or erased.

students in engineering education programs have typically been trained through ABET-accredited engineering programs. Despite ABET’s communication requirement, engineeringundergraduate students have limited opportunities to learn to write in their discipline [7]. Often,explicit writing instruction is limited to two courses: one in first-year writing, and one thatfocuses on engineering writing. The other writing engineering students do is integrated implicitlyin design and laboratory coursework. In these contexts, writing practices are often renderedinvisible as students are asked to fill forms, draw sketches, and incorporate appropriate equationsinto reports rather than write essays or reflections [6].
