Student-faculty interaction outside the classroom may play a particularly important rolein effectively meeting these challenges in multidisciplinary courses.To this end, we build upon an applied communications framework developed by Fusani3 toinvestigate the impact of student-faculty interaction outside the classroom in a variety of coursesin a multidisciplinary engineering program. Our purpose is to identify qualities of successfulstudent-faculty interaction to help both students and faculty optimize their contact outside theclassroom.MethodsOur study focused on three courses within the ABET-accredited general engineering curriculumat a small

Our goal is to study potential discrepancy in the perceptions of academicdishonesty between faculty and students to examine what behavior both groups considered“cheating”, and to identify what motivates students to cheat and faculty to report or not. Tounderstand current trends within the academic institute, two sets of surveys are developed forfaculty and students. The survey results are analyzed using both quantitative and qualitativemethods to identify trends and to examine potential factors that may influence behavior andperception of faculty and students in academic dishonesty. We believe that this study is the firststep to promote academic integrity which requires understanding the

A key element of our research is that new concepts are thereforeneeded to help engineering students develop sociotechnical thinking, or the ability to identify,address, and account for “the interplay between relevant social and technical factors in theproblem to be solved” [8] (p. 1). For a more in-depth motivation of the need for sociotechnicalintegration in engineering education, we refer readers to [8].Developing engineering courses that address sociotechnical thinking can be challenging,especially for faculty who were themselves trained in more traditional, technically-focusedcurricula. Some faculty within the U.S. have integrated sociotechnical thinking or similarconcepts within their

This haslead to increases in class size and workload through course overloads with the existing faculty. Inconventional course occurrences, events like a midterm, final and assignments tend to overlapbetween classes, and can cause big spikes in student workload. With an increased number ofstudents in each class, students can also feel the pressure of increased competition. The increasein each course’s required grading also places

Often the only or one of very few women in theirdepartments, they frequently are not part of the camaraderie that develops among the youngerfaculty, resulting in lack of access to information and opportunities. The cumulative effect of thisbias causes a number of women to leave academia5Research reveals that women faculty describe greater isolation, less time for research, greaterteaching loads, more committee assignments, fewer mentors, and more trivializing of theirscholarship than their male colleagues do.6,7,8,9,10 Rosser11 observes that the overwhelminglymale nature of STEM disciplines has
