collaboration, design education, and gender in engineering. She was awarded a CAREER grant from the National Science Foundation to study expert teaching in capstone design courses, and is co-PI on numerous NSF grants exploring com- munication, design, and identity in engineering. Drawing on theories of situated learning and identity development, her work includes studies on the teaching and learning of communication, effective teach- ing practices in design education, the effects of differing design pedagogies on retention and motivation, the dynamics of cross-disciplinary collaboration in both academic and industry design environments, and gender and identity in engineering

-term study abroad programs. The results of and conclusions from the three studieswill be disseminated to the larger engineering education community through an innovative,online approach. Not only will we provide this information in actionable forms, but we will alsobe able to query responders about their own programs, and update the information in near realtime. Specifically, we will aggregate information as the various models for developing globalpreparedness are being employed, and will assess their effectiveness. Results from this initiativeoffer the engineering education community a set of impactful and flexible research-basedglobally focused engineering education pedagogical practices that correlate to learning, diversestudent populations

financial concerns and/or life-work-study balance issues. This goal will beaccomplished through the following objectives: 1. Provide scholarships for matriculated students based on both financial need and merit to sophomore and junior level students over 5 years. 2. Recruit and provide scholarships to high academic performing community college transfer students over 5 years. 3. Provide support services that include engineering tutors to complement the current university-tutoring center. 4. Increase student engagement in college- and university-wide activities that contribute to persistence such as mentoring STEM students, participating at academic conferences in their field, service learning activities, and graduate

classrooms of up to 35 students, teachers must supportstudent engagement in unfamiliar disciplinary practices in real time, as students are working tosolve complex problems with multiple possible solutions. This requires teachers to have both theadaptive expertise to know how and when to intervene in students’ collaborative work withoutshort-circuiting their’ disciplinary thinking, and effective tools for formative assessment.Oregon. At Oregon State University the Oregon’s team uses the Virtual Chemical VaporDeposition (CVD) Project (http://cbee.oregonstate.edu/education/VirtualCVD/) to provideopportunities for student groups to develop and refine solutions to an authentic, industriallysituated engineering task through experimentation, analysis, and
