], but less is known regarding howengineering students develop these recognition beliefs. Existing identity work has illustrated that students perceive recognition differentlydepending on who the recognition is coming from [10], [13], [14]. The difference betweensources of recognition is most often explored in terms of the prevalence of recognition fromdifferent groups including peers, family, and faculty. Engineering faculty have been identified ashigh impact sources of recognition, but this has been mostly explored with respect to thefrequency of interaction with engineering students in an educational context [13], [15], [16].While recognition from engineering faculty has been considered supportive of students’ overallrecognition beliefs

Towards these goals, the Faculty Fellows meet monthly to talk about writing acrossEngineering and to work with the Writing Center to foster and develop writing support forengineering students. From these initial discussions, we propose that engineering communicationinstruction requires not only changing our coursework to embed writing practice across thecurriculum, but also situating writing for our students as part of engineering work. As theprogram progresses over the next few years, the Fellows will advise and join in the research andassessment of current writing in engineering programs and become ambassadors for

Session 1453 Freshman Mentoring: Creating a Baseline for Faculty Involvement David R. Haws Boise State UniversityAbstractMentoring may have become a lost art in higher education. Even at its best, faculty mentoringwas typically limited to the paternal protection of a promising young colleague. Occasionally,this involved a gifted undergraduate. Seldom was such benevolence exhibited toward those “at-risk” freshmen most in need of developing a connection with the university.In more recent years the mentor function has been transferred to peers. While this may be lessstressful
culture, while other departmentslack the knowledge and formal establishment of a culture of student engagement3. The aim ofthis study, thus, is to explore the culture of student engagement at anengineering departmentwithin a medium-sized comprehensive university in the Mid-Atlantic and to compare this cultureto findings of other similar efforts as described in published literature. Specifically, we targetedengineering faculty to gain insight into faculty‘s perceptions of student engagement. Theengineering department at this university has fourteen full-time faculty members, nine of whomparticipated in this study. Being a relatively new engineering program, cultural development isan ongoing process, making this study meaningful at the departmental
development of many university-specific service-basedcourses and programs. There are few, if any, other such dramatic and widespread movementswithin engineering education5,6. Yet, with such rapid change, a thorough understanding of bestpractices and outcomes, beneficial and otherwise, are lagging7.Through a joint collaboration between American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME),American Society for Civil Engineers (ASCE), and EWB-USA and financial support by theUnited Engineering Foundation (UEF), a study was initiated to explore a critical factor identifiedin the quality of student learning experiences within EWB-USA, namely the faculty advisor8,9.The study consisted of two major parts, a national survey of faculty advisors (for EWB-USA,ASME

Given the relativelysparse literature on the topic, we encourage researchers addressing faculty careers to ask aboutdisability in their work and to analyze disability-related data to increase our understanding of theissues impacting this population. Moreover, we offer departments and institutions strategies thatthey can take related to institutional and departmental policies related to accommodationrequests, hiring practices, faculty evaluation, and other relevant areas; departmental culture;physical environments; collaboration and communication, and information technology. Weconclude with recommendations to researchers and practitioners regarding the development ofpractices that will lead to increased engagement and success of women in faculty
the same time, faculty aredifferentially impacted by these challenges, with the pandemic expected to amplify longstandinginequities in career progression for women and faculty of color. In this paper, we connect thebroader literature on bias and inequity in faculty career progression to more recent work specificto the pandemic, describing how these literatures informed our initial steps to respond toCOVID-19 at University of Delaware. After describing our response to-date, we outlineemergent challenges and strategies to improve policy implementation. We conclude bysuggesting ways in which universities can continue to support faculty career development overthe coming years, ensuring that pandemic impacts do not undermine progress towards
viewpoints inherentwith increased diversity. The development of a diverse faculty will provide mentors and rolemodels to attract and support an increasingly diverse student body that otherwise might notpursue a technical career. To create an academic culture that promotes diversity and equitywithin the faculty and administration and that provides a supportive environment and appropriatementors and role models for an increasingly diverse student body has become Boise StateUniversity’s priority. This paper includes data on our university’s representation of womenfaculty in science and engineering, including measurable progress in recent years that places usabove the national norm.

Additionally, a full comparison chart of thecapabilities of the available tools is available.33 However, the altmetric market is a rapidlychanging one and this print article you are reading will be out of date within one – two years ofpublication (at a conservative estimate).

Thechange in the ABET criteria related to ESI (which requires “an ability to recognize ethical andprofessional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which mustconsider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societalcontexts”) might provide an ideal opportunity to bring faculty together to develop an effectivestrategy for undergraduate ESI education in engineering; perhaps these deliberations can beextended to the graduate level as well.AcknowledgementsThis material is based on work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant Nos.1540348, 1540341, and 1540308.
