One suchexample of distribution of training can be addressed with Item 28 - Faculty do not receive thetraining required to properly address issues in Mental Health. Common discussions regarding“As we want engineers to be gritty, how do we balance mental health and resilience?” took placewithout resolution. This may be a common challenge

In addition to resistancefrom those whose values incline them away from DEI, there are those who may be inclined tosupport DEI but who are overwhelmed with continuing pressures and institutional restructuringdue to budget cuts and COVID, not to mention other new initiatives to which faculty areexpected to respond. For many faculty, DEI is only one more new thing that will require morecourse changes, more grading, and fewer resources before it gets eclipsed by the next

toredefine engineering education, offering a new lens through which universities, departmentchairs, and faculty can prepare, evaluate, and train engineers for the challenges of the 21stcentury.IntroductionThe rising cost of college education and the accompanying increase in student debt over thepast decade have become major public concerns [1-5]. While a college degree can lead tomany benefits [6], the rise of online course providers such as Coursera, edX, MITOpenCourseWare [7] call into question whether the same knowledge and skills can be acquiredmore economically and effectively elsewhere [7-10]. As Rose [10] put it: “If college does not lead to skill gains, it is difficult to argue that attending college will lead to positive

In the last column of the table are thestatements of our group of faculty on their written post-its. They were able to identify most ofthese elements as well. Numbered items in the last column mean that two or more groups offaculty identified that item, and a group sometimes used two phrases that we have put in thesame cell of the table.

Faculty who observed increased student engagement utilized real-world applications facilitated by extensive experience and institutional support. This study'sfindings point to the importance of adaptable teaching methods, emphasizing the need forinstructors to tailor EBIPs to their specific teaching contexts. These results underscore theimportance of individualized strategies for effectively adopting EBIPs into educational settings.IntroductionAs a part of the NSF IUSE project, this paper seeks to explore the limitations and successes ofengineering faculty implementing EBIPs.

, journalism, etc., do not communicate, although theywill need to work together in the future to create viable new paths forward. A hurdle tocurriculum change is that faculty have not been trained in sustainability concepts and typicallydo not teach across colleges. They are also unsure of how to address DEI, not wanting to get itwrong and cause harm as they experiment in the classroom. Some programs have therefore takena “train the trainer” approach, holding faculty workshops [1, 2]. The effectiveness of suchworkshops is not altogether clear; for example, instructors’ confidence in identifying effectiveways to include sustainability into their courses may not increase. We focused squarely onequipping faculty by providing demos and boosting

This concernappeared among most of the EBIPs but was especially prevalent among responses discussingactive learning. For example, one assistant professor respondent highlighted the perceived riskaround not fulfilling material coverage expected of them: “Preparing active learning activitiestakes a lot of time and it's often not clear how much class time they will take up, or if they will beeffective. As a new faculty member, I am somewhat hesitant to use active learning strategiesbecause I need to make sure I cover the required material, and it feels risky to try new things.”This concern highlights

Tables 2 and 3 below. Theseexamples are based on data collected as part of a study of engineering student perceptions ofempathic concern expressed by engineering faculty [28].Scenario 1:As faculty, you notice that a student in your senior engineering design course seems off. Whilethey were previously active and engaged with their group, they missed several team meetingsand seemed distracted and distant. In general, they look rather distraught. You take time tocheck in with them after class, and the student becomes flustered and emotional. As part of yourconversation, you uncover that the student is dealing with several personal issues outside theircoursework.Here is how the framework for empathy could be applied in this scenario:Table 2

That's probably the most challenging part.” (Professor H). In this quote, the participantdescribes his frustration in deciding how his new course should present new content and satisfystudents’ expectations. This challenge can be related to their lack of experience designinglearning experiences for engineering students.Teaching challenges – implementing/using new technology or teaching methodsWhen faculty were asked about their experiences in the classroom, most described issues usingthe university’s learning management system, managing technology in hybrid settings, or usingteaching

This paper presents thepersonal experience, collaboration, analysis, and lessons learned developed by three suchindividuals. It is intended to provide insights for communities concerned with the professionaldevelopment of those in similar transitions.For clarity, we use non-tenure track (NTT) as an umbrella term to describe faculty with full-timestatus, who are on limited-term contracts, are promotion-eligible, but differ from their tenure-track/tenured (TT/T) counterparts in that they are not eligible for tenure. For the purpose of ournarrative, we use “NTT faculty” when the generalized umbrella term is more appropriate, butotherwise we use “C/P

This has led to efforts to keepinternational student numbers low enough to maintain a perceived balance that would be moreacceptable to domestic students. Such attitudes indicate that some faculty members in hardsciences may be less sympathetic to the unique challenges faced by international students.While these attitudes may not be universal, they highlight the need for increased awareness andsupport for international students in these fields [32], [33].International students face unique challenges related to language proficiency and culturaldifferences.

foregone conclusion, faculty have responded with varying degrees of enthusiasm,resignation, and denial. And as with most issues of pedagogy, there is lively disagreement amonginstructors about whether and how to use LLMs with their students [1][2], with some prohibitingLLM use and others swiftly integrating them into their course assignments [3][4][5].Lagging behind an enthusiastic integration of LLM-based course tools by some in highereducation is a serious discussion of ethical concerns and questions about LLMs themselves; thisfailure may stem in part from a reluctance to voice concerns in the face of institutionalenthusiasm and pressure to “fully embrace” LLMs or risk being labeled a “dinosaur” [1][6].Regardless of cause, this lack of discourse

and the goals of the new student feedback instrument. In addition, both student faculty responses indicated that it was hard to gauge the “inclusive” dimension in an engineering classroom. Similar issues with the student evaluation of teaching have been found in other previous studies [23-25]. The faculty concerns on the peer-review form were that the form may be used only in one class, and it would be hard to gage the overall course and the feedback would be the opinion of only one (imperfect) reviewer. Also, the time it takes to complete a peer review and who conducts a peer review were challenges. For the self-reflection form, the challenges were in the time it took to complete the form and that not all the questions seemed relevant to

A common debate in engineering and computer science exists about how facultyshould address GAI tools (i.e., prevent their usage in order to maintain academic integrity, teachstudents the new technologies, or establish regulatory guidelines in higher education). WhileGAI continues to disrupt traditional educational paradigms, its full impacts on teaching andlearning are currently unknown. Such work is

experience in remote learning, most faculty and students still prefer traditional face-to-face teaching [1], but the experience of the remote classroom has undoubtedly changed the waywe engage in traditional face-to-face courses today and moving forward.
