Disability Participation in the Engineering Field Elizabeth Spingola Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University lizsping@vt.eduAbstractMinority and underrepresented groups within engineering has been and still remains anincreasingly studied branch of engineering education. Typically studies falling under minorityand underrepresented groups focus on women, racial minorities, and, recently, the LGBTQ+community and methodologies on how to include higher numbers of these groups within thefield of engineering. However, additional minority and underrepresented groups in engineeringhave been researched to a lesser degree. Such groups include

Hence, to have effective learning by the student, faculty development is must. Role of universities in international collaboration in faculty development is important to make engineering education & research more relevant to the needs of global society and to the aptitude and aspiration of new generation of engineers. Shortage of training opportunities and attention to over all growth of faculty is adversely affecting impartation of

presentedover the last two years, and what we have accomplished so far.Scholarship of Teaching and LearningThere has been a large change in how engineering education is practiced and viewed in the lasttwo decades. In the past, there was not a wide-spread, systematic approach on how to trainengineering faculty to teach. As Felder and Brent put it, “If you are like most universityprofessors, you were not taught anything about how to teach in graduate school or when youbegan in your first faculty position. All you had to go on was how your professors taught, butnobody taught them anything about teaching either.”1The lack of a well-researched, peer-reviewed, field of study on how to train university faculty toteach also extended to areas outside of the

A recent survey by the Higher Education Research Institute ofundergraduate faculty suggests that about half of respondents were using online tools intheir course in some way 3. A meta-analysis of studies on undergraduate student learningwith technology reported that, on average, students in blended courses demonstrate morelearning gains when compared to traditional residential instruction4. Blended models areso pervasive that academic developers have started to characterize blending as the newtraditional5 of course delivery6,7.Given the potential for blended learning to become a widespread practice in engineeringeducation, developing an understanding of the state of
