extrinsic. Intrinsic barriers arepersonal to oneself, while extrinsic barriers stem from factors outside the researcher. The termbarrier implies an unyielding obstacle that cannot be overcome. In reality, many obstacles couldbe considered "permeable" if opportunities (or "inlets") are carefully sought by the motivatedengineering education researcher. Figure 1. Summary of authors' barriers to enter EERAmong the researcher's intrinsic barriers include: (a) level of motivation, (b) time constraints toacquire sufficient knowledge to submit competitive grant proposals, and (c) lack of interimresearch productivity while learning EER. Even if engineering faculty can overcome theirintrinsic barriers, they may face extrinsic

. Anticipated future improvements include increasing the number of students in theprogram, expanding the graduate student instructor opportunity to other engineering disciplinesand STEM fields, and reaching out to past participants (both students and instructors) to assesscollege and career outcomes. Overall, these improvements would increase the impact of theprogram and better measure outcomes of students and instructors experienced.REFERENCES[1] Real Academy of Engineering, “Engineering and economic growth: a global view,” Sep. 2016.[2] Aerospace Industries Association et al., “STEM and the American workforce.”[3] V.

questions and engage in training. For professional skills, the focus was onpreparing students to be effective team members and reflective practitioners.There were four graded components in the course: weekly training assignments (Training Aand Training B), teamwork assignments, projects (two team projects), and examinations (fourindividual written exams). Standard-based grading was implemented across all elements ofthe course. In this grading method, learning objectives were used as the basis for grading anda five-point grading scale, i.e., Proficient (100%), Developing (80%), Emerging (50%),Insufficient Evidence (1%-5%), and No Attempt (0%) was used in the assessment of eachlearning objective. To support this grading system, a detailed list of

was based around the topic of kinetic analysis of rigid bodies. The projectfocused on the analysis of the trampoline fatigue testing rig in Fig. 4 throughout the full range ofmotion of the machine. Throughout this range of motion, the students needed to find the forcesat the connecting points B and C along with the torque that would be needed to drive the maindisk. During the process of analyzing these forces, the students would need to find the range ofmotion where the feet (Point D) are not in contact with the trampoline and the range where theyare to determine when a trampoline spring force should be included.

the student starts to have problems completing the work, then you can either (a) help them or (b) you know that the student is not what you expected. If you give a new student a project that you don't know how to complete, then you don't know if it is the student or the problem.He also advises asking this question: “‘and how will you evaluate that?’ There are lots of greatresearch ideas, but if we can't evaluate it, we can't get a paper published on it.”Be sure to talk with your student and set goals for each year they are in the graduate program.An Individual Development Plan (IDP) can be used [Marcus 2016].

Afterward, switch to a “lateral” evaluation technique and see if your answers remain the same. 1. Start by “vertically” evaluating both sources, searching within the documents for clues on their credibility. Consider using the CRAAP test to guide your responses. Is the author listed, and is that author credible? Are the sources within the article cited? Is it free of grammatical errors or other potential red flags, such as an
