Teaching portfolios are also commonly used as a tool for teacher reflection leading toefforts of improvement. Yet concerns persist about the nature and effectiveness of teachingevaluation.Over the past five years, Brigham Young University has developed a process built on the conceptthat peer review can be an effective tool for the evaluation of teaching just like it is for theevaluation of scholarship. In this process, the faculty member is responsible to providesubstantive evidence of the effectiveness of their teaching efforts in a teaching portfolio. Peerreviewers then evaluate

The need for competence is satisfied when opportunities todemonstrate one’s skills are frequently provided and in a way that allows students to receivefeedback and improve on their performance. For example, working in groups or project teams iscommon in some STEM disciplines and is also a common complaint and/or concern amonginstructors. An issue here could be that

The impacton university students [2, 4], university centers for teaching and learning (CTLs) [6, 7], and publicK-12 school systems [5, 8] have been initially documented, but further studies regarding the lastingimpacts of the pandemic are sure to come.

In short, although all faculty felt the process was helpful or very helpful, they articulated the need tomodify the system to be more contextual and nuanced for different courses and circumstances. Barriers. The main potential barriers for implementing the new system into the College of Engineeringincluded concerns about resources and the potential resistance of other faculty to receiving feedback onteaching.

Texas A&M University opened 32 new activelearning spaces in a redesigned engineering building in fall 2018. In essence, these redesignedspaces embrace the idea of enabling active learning in every space by deliberate design offurniture, spacing and technology. To aid faculty in assimilating active learning pedagogies intotheir course(s) in both existing and redesigned spaces, a college-wide faculty developmentinitiative was developed. Two studies explored engineering faculty’s knowledge, perceptions andpractice of active learning at Texas A&M.

As we discussed during our sessions, the first time a micromoment activity was run by aparticipating faculty member was challenging.

Disaggregated data within UD show evenlower levels of satisfaction surrounding clarity of P&T among women faculty and amongunderrepresented minority (URM1) faculty.

IntroductionThe benefits of mentoring as a form of faculty professional development are well established,and there are many different structures in which mentoring can occur. The most traditionalstructure is that of a formal mentoring program, pairing senior and junior faculty. Although thistraditional structure has many advantages, there is a hierarchy in the relationship that mayprevent the mentee (i.e., junior faculty member) from sharing important challenges and concerns,especially if the mentor is involved in key decisions such as tenure and promotion

Summary and Concluding Remarks:Properly selected adjunct faculty can enrich an engineering program by bringing in theirpractical experience, and by introducing relevant field applications to the classroom. Adjunctfaculty can also provide important linkages for developing joint programs between industry andacademic departments, and, could trigger employment opportunities for graduates. Nevertheless,the position of adjunct faculty, in most colleges, is tenuous, and subject to change in enrollments.They do suffer from: negative administration and faculty perception, limited connectivity withmainstream issues
