students' weekly reflective submissions duringthe project and involves instructors' evaluation of students' knowledge and motivation,communication, practical skills, thinking skills, responsibility, and project execution. This paperreports a qualitative interview-based case study investigating student and faculty perceptions ofthe new assessment system. We interviewed ten students (out of a class of 33) and six faculty (allPjBL instructors) about their perceptions of the assessment system. The analysis of the studentinterviews showed their concerns about the turnaround time of weekly assessments and thequality and objectivity of the feedback. The study of the faculty interviews captured the debateabout the weighting of the items in the assessment

The primary concern is thelow number of students currently supported in comparison to our goals, highlighting recruitmentfor further examination. We planned to support up to twenty students in year 1, 52 students inyear 2, and 70 students in year 3, but our actual numbers in the first three years are 7, 12, and 28students. Given this trend, our concern over how we recruit students into SPECTRA is now atthe forefront of our work.

Moreover, despite recent attention to increasing theparticipation of students with disabilities in STEM education, this work has rarely been extendedto include faculty with disabilities. This paper describes efforts taken by AccessADVANCE, apartnership between two institutions, to influence institutional change to increase theparticipation of women with disabilities among STEM faculty.

Incontrast, experimental laboratory settings may pose numerous safety threats. This includesexperimental laboratories associated with basic science and engineering science courses, hands-on design/build settings in courses and co-curricular activities, and research settings forundergraduate to graduate students [21-23]. It is imperative that faculty make safety a priority.This includes addressing all safety concerns

They are individual human beings, and the primary concern of the schools should not be with the living they will earn but with the life they will lead” [1].Universities have traditionally been viewed as places which allow students to broaden theirminds, the Latin ‘universus’ meaning ‘the whole, aggregate’. Today, universities can beconsidered to operate as businesses in competition with one another, their primary purposebeing to produce the next generation of workers who aid in maintaining globalcompetitiveness

They suggested that identifying learning outcome(s) wouldallow instructors to select problems according to the outcomes they aimed to prioritize andwould make the adoption of these materials easier for new instructors. However, they did notengage in identifying the learning outcomes of the tutorials to meet this goal. I3, by contrast,noted that problems not solved in class provided additional practice for students outside of class.While they saw the same issue with length as the others, they saw less of an issue managing theproblem and indicated that they made the tradeoff for depth rather than breadth of coverage.The differing responses to the same challenge seem to relate to the instructors’ differing views ofthe nature

Expectancy valuetheory states that one’s expectation for success multiplied by their subjective value for a giventask equals their motivation to attempt that task [9]. This means that faculty must place value onePortfolios as a tool and must also feel they are able to feasibly use that tool in practice to besufficiently motivated to integrate ePortfolios into their courses. Identified barrier themes wereassociated with EVT factors during analysis. This association was done to better understand howthe barriers are linked to the components of motivation
(EER).Because DEI is an essential topic in education and engineering, this result suggests a significantgap in EER community knowledge. With this gap in mind, we thematically analyzed the 22articles that met the inclusion criteria to understand what faculty beliefs EER has focused on.The main result of this analysis was our proposed model, the Problematization-to-ActionContinuum (PTAC), which highlights faculty’s readiness to make change efforts towardpromoting DEI. The PTAC model is a single-axis continuum that contains three defined points(each end and the center). On one end, engineering faculty do not acknowledge there areproblems concerning DEI, and there are no actions taken toward bettering these issues. In thecenter, faculty
