In addition to the Summer Workshop Series featured here, we also moved our New Faculty Workshop to Zoom in July and were facilitating multiple workshops per week. For our small Center (3 faculty members working on both this series as well as the New Faculty Workshop), the large number of workshops led to stress and burnout for our Center members. • Overall, the workshops were well received by the faculty; multiple faculty members reached out before the end of the summer or fall to

Keeping within Kolb’s theory, and to promote activelecturing, engaging activities were implemented from various active learning domains.

In our application of this process, we interviewed more than 100 engineering students(most in their third or fourth year) who had not seen the films—about one-third of theinterviewed engineering students were women. The rationale behind selecting the students whohad not seen the films (our prototype) was to discover what the students reflected on as beingimportant in learning to write as engineers. In particular, we asked students about the following: 1. Biggest challenges faced when called upon to write an engineering report 2. Biggest surprises about engineering

As wecan see, both NSF and NIH, as well as many universities, have embraced the IDP as a keycomponent for enhancing STEM graduate and postdoctoral programs. In fact, in studies ofreflection as pedagogy the IDP is considered a self-reflection tool.

Students sense of belonging relates to their reflection on current experiences andgreater affective components in their majors, like- how comfortable they feel in engineeringclassroom or college. It emerges from the self-reflection of the students’ feelings when theycompare themselves with their peers [10]. On the other hand, engineering identity is theirbroader sense of fit in the engineering discipline, like- the extent student sees themselves as aprospective engineer [14], [15].In an engineering context, learning engineering content also requires becoming a member ofthe engineering
