Nation’s Urban WaterInfrastructure (ReNUWIt). Participants to date have been 69% female and 39% from historicallyunderrepresented racial or ethnic groups. Outcomes include participant skill-building,development of researcher identity, pursuit of graduate school, and pursuit of careers in STEM.Assessments include pre- and post-surveys (quantitative and qualitative), as well as longitudinaltracking of participants (n=97 over 7 years). Assessment results suggest this multi-campus siteachieves participant-level and program-level impacts commensurate with those attained bysingle-campus REU Sites.IntroductionEngaging undergraduates in authentic science and engineering research experiences is widelyaccepted as a promising practice for promoting

succeed and “need to begrown via in-house training or experience” [Adcock et al., 2015]. For example, NASA developedthe Systems Engineering Leadership Development Program (SELDP) to provide “developmentactivities, training, and education” to more quickly cultivate systems engineers [Ryschkewitch etal., 2009].Universities have responded to the growing market demand for systems engineers in a range ofways, from adding or further emphasizing elements of systems engineering to existing courses(e.g., capstone design courses; see Chaput [2016]), to creating entire programs in systemsengineering (e.g., Stevens Institute of Technology). How effective are these efforts, how can theybe improved, and, can we identify a set of best practices in doing such

Psychological research reveals significant differences in the knowledge organization ofexperts and novices in a domain. Expert’s knowledge is fused around critical principles, whereasthe novices’ knowledge representation is piecemeal and fragmented.8,9 Experts benefit from thisstructure because well-organized knowledge supports problem solving,10 the flexible applicationof knowledge,11 strategy use,12,13 and future learning.37 The aspect of problem solving that may be most affected by how knowledge is organizedis the

academic environment to improve courses and to evaluatefaculty performance is a mainstay at most universities. For tenure track faculty in particular, theymust recognize and perhaps wrestle with the notion that a student’s evaluation of their coursesand teaching performance will be an important consideration in their path to tenure at theacademy, as represented by the teaching-service-professional development triad. Unfortunately,the majority of new doctoral faculty entering engineering bachelor degree academic programshave scant experience in the classroom beyond a graduate school Teaching Assistantship, whichtypically lasts only a few semesters as doctoral candidates bide their time in anticipation of beingoffered a Research Assistantship for

designs might cause harm, even when wellintentioned. And because most programs provide few opportunities for students to frame—andreframe—engineering problems from different points of view, students tend to frame engineeringproblems from only one, often dominant point of view. We argue the writing process can hold akey role in developing framing practice, as it can be threaded into core coursework to supporttechnical understanding that is contextual and open to critique.In this paper, we detail our approach to and student outcomes from a comprehensive andcollaborative writing intervention. Our approach supports students to develop as critical thinkersand writers in tandem with technical understanding. Our approach builds on past research

teaching,mentors do give a sample research presentation, proposal presentation, and final presentation inthe large design course. Before such presentations, the students practice a model teampresentation (with speaker notes in the notes pages of the PowerPoint) beforehand. That practiceincludes a rehearsal with the writing instructor the evening before the classroom performance.Mentors generally receive no formal training before mentoring sessions on speaking and writing.However, mentors do receive access to the assignments and lecture slides, which they arefamiliar with from their own course experience. In addition, the mentors receive emailsdiscussing particular questions and issues that have arisen in class this semester. For instance, ifthe
