In the most recent year of the grant, the program provided professional development to 294 Northeastern faculty members and 21 postdoctoral scholars and late stage Ph.D. students. Over the five years of the grant, ADVANCE hosted 248 scholars in 8 ”Future Faculty Workshops”; participants were 78% female and 13% underrepresented minority postdoctoral scholars and Ph.D. students; four of these were interviewed at Northeastern as a result, and two were hired.Prof. Simon Pitts, Northeastern University Simon Pitts is the Director of

There have been a number of studies that haveinvestigated the benefits of research experiences for undergraduate students; however, a limitednumber of studies have investigated students’ integration into a research community of practiceand development of an identity as a researcher (reviewed in 8). This area of investigation isimportant because it has been shown that student perceptions of their research abilities andconfidence in conducting research is an integral link between the acquisition and

Engineering Educators Division), June 24-27, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. Course implementation: Unlike in the US, a course is owned by the institute not byan individual faculty. Each course should have a standardized course outline withprescribed assessment methods and mark distribution for each method. There is no needfor an individual faculty to develop their own course outline/syllabus. Apart from certaincourses (such as Senior Design Project), all courses should have a standard mid-term andcourse final (comprehensive). All the course finals have to be administrated on pre-determined dates, usually as a part of mass examinations, and these examinations carryaround 40% of the total marks for a course. The mid-term and
four intentions to the two teaching strategies(faculty-centered and student-centered): ≠ Information transmission, ≠ Concept acquisition, ≠ Conceptual development, ≠ Conceptual change.Trigwell et al.’s study, which focuses on chemistry and physics faculty, cites that slightly morethan 50% of faculty uses a faculty-centered strategy with the intention of transmittinginformation to students.8In another study by Van Driel et al. (1997), which specifically focuses on engineering education,only three categories of faculty conceptions of teaching are used: ≠ Teacher-centered, ≠ Student-directing, ≠ Student-centered.Cited most frequently, the ‘student-directing’ category describes a faculty member’s desire toencourage student

While efforts have been made to support faculty in this type of disseminationthrough professional development, most faculty remain underprepared for such endeavors [2]This lack of preparation may cause faculty to minimize their scientific impact if they avoidpresenting in these types of settings as these settings are rich opportunities to share knowledgeand spark an interest in STEM in non-academics.

challenging them in new ways. It is important to note that calibrating exams sothat means are in the 60’s will not contribute to grade inflation. There would still be a largerange of scores, and most exams would not max out the top of the grading scale. Instructorscould achieve means in the 60’s by ensuring that half of their items were tied to specific courseconcepts while the other half could present students with new challenges.Of course, this survey was only of students at one institution. But it seems likely that studentselsewhere would feel similarly. What remains the biggest question about LOC grading isunderstanding why faculty engage in this practice and what it would take to persuade them tochange their assessments.AcknowledgementsThis
