trends are occurring in research, government regulations or incentives, industry, etc. that should impact program requirements for student graduating in 5 to 10 years?Part of the open discussion focused on the current strengths in energy research in our university,especially in clean coal and electrochemical conversion technologies, and how they comparewith those of other colleges. As we discussed educational programs, some of the overall themesand guidance that emerged from the discussion included: • Balance between engineering (fundamental) and technology (applied) • Balance between general (broad understandings) and specialized (industry specific skills) • Develop students’ ability to choose appropriate options for energy
apparent problems of “Diversity” and “Scale” that isbased on the premise that the STEM higher education is a dynamic system. Explicitly, a dynamicsystem is a socially-constructed concept defined by the recursive interaction between what onemight call the “parts” of the system; in this case, they are historical events, society, institutions,families, students, staff, and faculty. One sorts out what is “in” or “out” of the system, i.e., the“boundary”, by a shared set of goals. For example, a stated goal around both AP:Scale andAP:Diversity is in preparing an informed citizenship in a technological world4 or in addressingsocietal challenges5. Hypothesis: AP:Scale and AP:Diversity are unintentional consequences of a STEM education system

The interview did providesome additional depth in response related to specific writing strategies in use by the participant.However, effort was made to ensure that the interview data was not over-represented or over-emphasized in the findings. The focus groups, determined by participant availability, rangedfrom 2 to 5 participants. The first round explored broader experiences, with writing andcommunication both emerging as significant themes.

. Existing research on faculty mentorship primarilyemphasizes the importance of individual mentoring functions. The broader structural andcontextual elements that impact mentorship outcomes are overlooked, while the uniqueexperiences of faculty in engineering are neglected. Our framework aims to address these gapsby providing insights for enhancing the quality and success of engineering faculty mentoringrelationships. Emergent insights were informed by semi-structured critical incident interviewdata gathered from fifteen junior engineering faculty located at various research-intensiveuniversities within the U.S. A hybrid deductive-inductive thematic analysis approach was used touncover the factors that shape effective mentoring experiences for
