overall. More broadly, there are opportunities forfuture work to examine how the context of the university, college, and leadership goals at alllevels can shift the perception of such a FLC and its potential for positive impact by its membersas well as the effectiveness of such a community. In other words, what factors need to existwithin the university system that either support or hinder the effectiveness of a faculty learningcommunity focused on diversity and inclusion? This future work will point the way forengineering faculty to grow a culture of diversity and inclusion.AcknowledgmentsThis work is supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation through the BroadeningParticipation in Engineering program, award #2040095.References[1] B.

engineering students’ motivation. We also found thateven though belonging and competence beliefs were identified as important for engineeringstudents’ motivation generally, the mentor provided differential supports for student motivationdepending on their unique needs. Our findings suggest that an approach that promotes multipleforms of motivation may provide a helpful framework for engineering faculty-student mentoring. 6 References[1] B. L.

Forresearch question two, A pre-, post-, and retrospective pre-survey was developed using thevalidated AAC&U VALUE (2009a;b;c) rubrics to assess students’ self-efficacy in three specificinnovation skills. These three skills have been connected to innovation education, and includeintegrative learning, problem solving, and teamwork. Surveys are distributed to students at thebeginning and end of the two core curriculum installments. Student participation was once againvoluntary, although students were asked and reminded to fill out the surveys, no direct benefitwas given to those who chose to participate.

Example trusses (a) on display and (b) about to be tested in the load frame, with the loading mechanism visible.In terms of the fundamental objective categories for engineering laboratories laid out in [6], themodifications outlined in this paper have generally improved or not impacted the scope of theproject’s educational outcomes. The categories of instrumentation, experiment, safety, teamwork,and ethics remained essentially equivalent in both formats. However, the new format improvedthe models category, where both system and component (element) level models could beconstructed and their interactions studied. The data analysis and design categories were similarlyexpanded, as
(see Figure 4), and resultsare discussed. Overall, 65% of students who at least moderately preferred the topic of their projectindicated that the course was either completely relevant or mostly relevant in preparing them for a careeras an Industrial Engineer (see Figure 4, Question A). More than 60% of students preferred that teams beformed by student choice, with 50% of respondents not preferring, slightly preferring, or moderatelypreferring the IISE BoK area of the project that they were assigned (see Figure 4, Question B). Thirtypercent of students indicated a preference for personality tests determining teams, and 10% preferredinstructor choice (see Figure 4, Question B). Students were balanced when assessing their team'sperformance, with

However, for cohort 3 there were 42 creativity track projects, and thus grading,communication, and feedback required assistance. For the problem-solving track, A new projectgrading sheet, examples, and instructions were prepared, and the graduate teaching assistantswere employed to assist with grading. The proposals, preliminary reports, and the 42 creativitytrack final report were still graded by the instructor. Overall, more students chose the finalproject options over the final exam option.For cohort 4, an external evaluator was
