making sure every student graduate and the course curriculum and all that stuff.Drawing from our findings, EIF are not just restricted to their primary duty of teaching, they arealso involved in multiple other roles across the leadership spectrum in engineering education.One of the EIF that typifies this is Victor. Victor is the associate department chair; as such, heenumerates the number of leadership roles he takes on in his department. I'm the associate chair in the department, I am in charge of the undergraduate curriculum. I support several of the tasks such as scheduling, managing personnel, laboratories. Also, I am, in part of academics, I'm an ABET accredited program evaluator. So, during the last cycle, I

Dr. Downey focuses on critical qualitative inquiry with a discerning eye toward humanizing and culturally sustaining pedagogies.Idalis Villanueva Alarc´on, University of Florida Dr. Villanueva Alarc´on is an Associate Professor in the Engineering Education Department at the Uni- versity of Florida. Her multiple roles as an engineer, engineering educator, engineering educational re- searcher, and professional development mentor for underrepresented populations has aided her in the design and integration of educational and physiological technologies to research ’best practices’ for stu- dent professional development and training. In addition, she has developed methodologies around hidden
Science. Focusing on making sure curriculum and pedagogy are tight. And integrating informal pedagogy into that as well for example experiential learning and Co-op experience. But at the end of my first year my ideal position turned into the president of a university. It was like, “Go, broke, or go home.” When it comes to the initial purpose and the drive. I still have that, because I remember when we started the program they asked for a little bio, for them to post on Twitter. They were like, “Oh, just tell us about yourself, and why you decided to pursue a PhD program with us.” And I wrote that I want people to have that “Ah-ha!” moment. So, the drive and the purpose of me wanting to stay in
outreach effort,and GOAL has been utilized as an aspect of the course curriculum in e4usaclassrooms. Teachers from all of these groups have participated in theco-development and design of new versions of the GOAL kits. Other area publicschools are expressing interest in the GOAL program and we are beginning to explorethe expansion of our partnerships to these new school systems.Campus Partners: The GOAL program originally launched from Women in Engineering(WIE) and the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and all aspects of the programstill run through these two main entities, including design, production, finances,partner relations, distribution, and events.Undergraduate education integration has been spearheaded by the newly
increasedtransportation systems in the Hampton roads area, and the intentional development of AfricanAmerican engineers through an experimental-centric curriculum (Hampton University School ofEngineering, n.d.). Additionally, Hampton’s College of Engineering and Technology has been inthe spotlight for partnerships and technical competitions. Hampton engineering students won anaviation human factors competition where they could utilize creative insight and technicalskillsets to design aviation solutions that connect to the broader issues of traveling in Virginia.Similarly, Hampton engineering and technology departments recently partnered with Amazon toexpose Black students and the broader community to critical engagements with augmentedreality in support of
(age, gender, citizenship, academic discipline, and stage of persistence) and theirpreferences for three styles of mentoring as assessed by the Ideal Mentor Scale (IMS): Integrity,Guidance, and Relationship. The study concluded that “graduate students’ perceptions of theideal mentor are influenced somewhat by major socio-cultural factors, but also suggest thatindividual differences may play a larger role” [25]. Mutual respect fosters an environment ofstrong relationship for effective engagement and attracts students who commit and want tofollow the mentor because, relationally, the students are motivated by the sense that the mentorcares for them more than his or her positional rights, and so are willing to follow in theirmentor’s directives
