]. Given the critical role of the adviser in a student's academic journeyand the potential consequences of inadequate academic progress for international students, it iscrucial to recognize the unique challenges faced by international students and provide themwith appropriate support.To provide international doctoral students with positive advising experiences, it is essential forSTEM faculty to possess intercultural communication competence (ICC). In this article, weadopt Griffith et al.'s definition of ICC, which refers to an individual's ability to gather,interpret, and effectively respond to culturally diverse cues in a multicultural environment [14].Prior literature demonstrated that international students face particular challenges, such
to argue that because they are by their nature contingent, an informationgiving curriculum based on a collection of traditional disciplines is unlikely to developtechnological competency. The most likely curriculum to develop technological competencywill be problem/project based, accompanied by a study of qualitative engineering. Because itis likely to require students to obtain knowledge independently, and because individuals andorganizations learn, its base should be an active understanding of the nature of learning.Some examples of transdisciplinary programmes are mentioned together with sometransdisciplinary texts, but they err on the side of information giving rather than problemsolving and critical thinking which lie at the heart of

The relationship between students’ retention in STEM majors andexperiences with discrimination by professors is especially significant for women andunderrepresented racially minoritized students, who are more likely to self-select out of STEMby the fourth year of college than their men, white, and Asian American classmates [10]. Ofparticular concern to the present study, Park et al.

If there ever were anopportunity draw useful lessons from history, it would surely be on this topic. Concerns about an“engineering manpower” crisis persisted throughout the Cold War years in American history,fueled by massive federal expenditures and the emphasis placed on science and its application tothe nation‟s arsenal and economic wealth. Even as we proceed to transform, if not dismantle, theinstitutional apparatus developed to meet the exigencies of the Cold War period, it may well

For example, Raphael at Beta described: My current teacher for the science stuff, he has a lot of hands-on lessons and he thoroughly explains everything and makes sure that we get it. And the examples that he uses are about everyday things. And then as the lesson goes on, it gets more advanced. And that makes it easier to digest and understand what's happening and how this translates to the real world.Additionally, Zara from Zeta reported: “I do like doing the stuff that was happening in my class,all the investigations, DNA stuff...

The choices will be gray in nature, balancing (for example) economic, social, environmental, and military factors. Leaders, and those who influence these choices, will benefit from a sense of purpose and clarity.

must carefully examine how current female engineering faculty members havesuccessfully negotiated the path to the professoriate.Statement of the ProblemIn the two largest fields of engineering, mechanical and electrical/computer, the percentage offemale tenured or tenure-track faculty members are 9.8 and 8.5 percent, respectively20. Giventhat there are over 4,500 teaching personnel in each of these fields teaching an undergraduatepopulation of 80,288 mechanical and 75,302 electrical engineering students, it would seem likelythat a higher proportion of the teaching personnel are females20. To visualize the stark contrastwith other fields in engineering, Figure 1 shows the faculty member numbers in each field ofengineering broken down by gender
done withoutopportunities for reflection and metacognition have missed the opportunity to create deeperunderstanding [17]. Shavelson, et al. [20] refer to four different types of knowledge: declarativeknowledge (“knowing that”), procedural knowledge (“knowing how”), schematic knowledge(“knowing why”), and strategic knowledge (“knowing when, where, and how our knowledgeapplies”). This framework provides a useful way of evaluating laboratory experiences; what istypically termed “inquiry based laboratory exercises,” are ones that reach the higher levels of theknowledge taxonomy [12]. Pre-labs and other types of preparation are also important as identifiedin Kolb’s experiential learning cycle [21] and [18]. Without “just in time” lectures and pre

. Advancing research in this area is consistent with an increased emphasison preparing students for professional practice5. Stakeholders’ varying definitions of keyabilities makes it more difficult to assess professional skills6 relative to technical outcomes, suchas ability to apply theories or formulae7-9. Conducting multi-institution studies on theseoutcomes has been a challenge because professional skill assessments have relied on a variety ofmeasures, including feedback from multiple sources such as faculty, peers, and self-reflections10,peer evaluations11, project rubrics12, and portfolio analyses13-17.Lattuca, Terenzini and Volkwein18 assessed outcomes across multiple institutions in anevaluation of the impact of new ABET accreditation
Page 24.1292.2University [5], over a span of fifteen years (1978-1993) approximately 36% of the enteringengineering students failed to complete the freshman requirements and thus did not transfer intoone of the professional schools of engineering. Interviews with these students indicated that themain reason for leaving engineering was difficulty with calculus, chemistry, or physics. Detailsare not discussed as to why students found these topics difficult.Traditional assessment tools, such as homework, projects, and exams have been developed to teststudents’ grasp of and ability to apply new concepts [6]. However, they do not always reveal theviewing strategies used by students during problem solving. It is difficult for teachers andevaluators
