First, Tomkin et al.(2019) have examined the impact of the EBIP through faculty communities of practice onstudent learning outcomes. The authors report that faculty communities of practice played acritical role in implementing EBIPs and positively affecting student learning in STEM courses.Tomkin et al. also reveal that a faculty community of practice promotes its members tocollaborate with peers, develop complementary skill sets, and build social networks

A CoP is defined as a community ofindividuals who strengthen their practice in a particular domain through regular interaction witheach other [5], [6], [7]. Traditional CoPs tend to develop organically and be based within anorganization. Many variations of CoPs have emerged in the past decades across differentorganizational contexts. For example, professional learning communities are common strategiesfor improving teaching practices in K-12 education spaces and are typically more highlydesigned and structured [8].

Second, most disciplinary engineering research does not involve human subjects;thus, most disciplinary engineering PhD graduates and faculty members have a limitedunderstanding of IRBs’ role in protecting human subjects [11]. Third, most promotion and tenure(P&T) policies fail to prioritize teaching efforts; for those that do, focus is placed on studentsatisfaction (e.g., end-of-semester course evaluations) rather than student learning [12]. As a result,the limited teaching preparedness of new college and university engineering educators has thepotential to turn students off from engineering [8], which directly impacts retention

. Additionally, a lack of research in the area of international faculty development makes thistopic worth exploring. This auto-ethnographic qualitative work grounded within the scope oftransnationalism utilizes a cultural wealth framework and aims to identify the barriers andchallenges faced by international faculty members and also recognizes productive ways toaddress those gaps in terms of designing resources for international Ph.D. students and facultymembers as the needs for international faculty members look different than the home-grownones. In this work, we tried to unpack the barriers and navigational challenges faced by us ingeneral and during our critical transitional points in career. We finally shed some light on theways international

First, when taught in isolation from technical content, communication skillsmay be viewed by both faculty and students as an afterthought of solving “real” engineeringproblems, rather than

Homero’s goal is to develop engineering education practices that value the capital that traditionally marginalized students bring into the field and to train graduate students and faculty members with the tools to promote effective and inclusive learning environments and mentorship practices.

Spreading this Knowledge Within the FacultyWhile individual academics have a responsibility to teach well and understand some of thebest teaching practices in our field, the reality is that many Engineering academics will nothave had to engage with the ideas of rhetoric and behavioural change in their academic life.As such, it is also the responsibility of the Engineering Faculty as a whole to share thisknowledge with it’s academics and to persuade them of its importance.It is recognised that in many universities, this sort of training is typically done by either anintroductory teaching course or mandatory professional development workshops.
