authors of this paper propose a new academic advising model that assignsstudents to both a professional academic adviser and a faculty adviser, capitalizing equally andmore effectively on the strengths and skillsets of both. Currently in a pilot phase involving twoacademic departments, this model will continue to be refined from lessons learned in the pilot,and ultimately rolled out across all departments in the College of Engineering.Purpose of Academic AdvisingAcademic advisers play a significant role in student success in college [1]. Just as innovations inteaching and classroom pedagogy are considered to enhance student learning, so must the designof intentional educational interventions such as academic advising. Advisers are one thread in

The courses, all within Electrical and Computer Engineering, includetwo junior programming courses and a specialized junior-level technical elective. As part of thenew course models, the students were allowed to resubmit their work as often as necessary toachieve an assessment of competency or proficiency. Students could not pass the courses withoutachieving at least competency in each level, and their letter grade was determined by how manytopics in which they achieved proficiency. Thus, it forced students to revisit their quizzes, exams,and assignments and resubmit (and improve) work until they reached a satisfactory assessmentlevel.In this work, we will

Inclusivity: Students can work at their own pace since they are no longer bound to rigid laboratory session hours. Students can gain practice without fear of making mistakes in front of peers. Students can also make use of assistive technology tools [1] on their computer when taking measurements, particularly

Rigorouscoding procedures are applied to the qualitative data, to develop categories, identify causalrelations, and find counter-evidences. The emerging theory keeps at its centre the designers’actions and interactions that respond to a particular phenomenon (e.g. sociotechnicalcomplexity of the design problem), and allows for variations in the data by explaining therelationship between mediating factors

Many factors must beconsidered when developing an approach, such as the student population being taught. In a singleclassroom, each student is unique in how they receive and process information based on factorssuch as preferred learning style, personal experience, competence in fundamental concepts, andindividual motivation [1].

The pandemic disrupted engineering graduate students’ regular learningroutines, which typically include in-person laboratory research and mentoring activities. As aresult, engineering students during the COVID-19 pandemic may particularly experiencechallenges to their academic progress, career preparation, financial security, and physical/mentalhealth [1]–[6].

This lack of perquisite knowledge leads them to start learning newmaterial on a weak foundation. As the semester progresses and the material builds, these studentsare more likely to fall further behind, which can place them in jeopardy of failing the class.This project seeks to improve students' recall and mastery of prerequisite knowledge andultimately decrease failure rates, by creating an accessible library of short videos on various MEprerequisite topics.

Stated differently, students were able to apply almost half of the contentdirectly to the semester service projects.Unfortunately, a technical difficulty with administration of the student surveys for the onlinecourse rendered them invalid for the fall semester.

Statistics predicts growth of 13.4% from2014 to 2024 in jobs for STEM-related post-secondary teachers [1]. Women are a growingpercentage of PhDs in STEM but are not proportionately represented among assistant professors[2]; to support this employment growth it will likely be necessary to attract more women to thefaculty. Of even more significance is that STEM faculty play a critical double role in the healthand gender make-up of the future STEM workforce. Research shows that role models have animportant impact on career pathway decisions made by women engineering students [3]. Mostengineers are first exposed to the profession through their STEM faculty, so if this group is notdiverse, or if diverse workers (such as women) are perceived to be
