They used the grading rubricoriginally developed by the course instructor to evaluate each project. The review teamconcluded that the instructor’s rubric was appropriate but could be improved andrecommended several suggestions for the instructor, including changes in the instructionsstudents that received and changes in the rubric itself that should result in betterdocumentation of the projects. The results from this meeting were used in the 2002-2003cycle for assessing BME program outcomes.The

solve those problems as homework assignments. Inflipped learning, students learn concepts before coming to lecture, then practice solving problemsin the classroom. This approach allows students to learn at their own pace, and get more help inthe classroom with their problem-solving challenges. This can support life-long learning byhelping students to develop the practice, and encouraging habits, of learning on their own. It alsofits in well with a project-based learning (PBL) approach to STEM education, as gold standardPBL involves addressing real-world problems and requires students to learn about and framethose problems on their own, with faculty acting as facilitators rather than knowledge feeders.Fostering these benefits of flipped learning

It is an added tax that she pays as she navigates her career.ConclusionFrom these findings, it is important for engineering departments to understand how Black andHispanic faculty navigate the tenure and promotion process. With faculty identity development,there are nuances in everyone's path, but the overall importance is understanding how thesefaculty members can prioritize the tenure and promotion process while limiting otherrequirements. As we see with other literature, an implication is to hire more diverse tenure-trackfaculty, but also to remind departments of

Prior work has shown that identity and belongingness are key factors influencingstudents’ pathways into, through, and potentially out of engineering [1—3]. Investigations intoidentity and belongingness can, therefore, inform efforts to recruit and retain a large, diverse bodyof engineers [4]. As faculty are at the forefront of students’ first experiences with the field ofengineering, equipping them with the knowledge of their influence on students’ identity formationand belongingness is imperative.Faculty members are a prominent source of influence on students’ perceptions of identity andbelongingness.
