keyexamples of how we have leveraged Meadows’ 14 principles in creating EETI. EETI’s primary mission was to allow faculty to self-organize and form new, positive relationshipsaround the scholarship and practice of teaching and learning. To accomplish this mission, we sought toavoid remedial activities meant to help faculty “fix” their teaching practices, which the facultydevelopment community has come to recognize as counterproductive to building a positive reputationamong faculty (Haras, Ginsberg, Magruder, & Zakrajsek, 2017). Rather, we drew from one of Meadows’principles, listen to the wisdom of the system, to adopt a strengths model of faculty development.Accordingly, our programming allows faculty to engage with EETI on their own

While there has beenconsiderable study and analysis of the benefits achieved by high-achieving undergraduatestudents engaged in research activities, relatively little consideration has been given tothe impact and benefits of research experiences on engineering students who are betterdescribed as “average”. Yet, these are the students to whom undergraduate researchopportunities need to be provided in order to achieve broader participation. Therefore, itis beneficial to understand how these experiences impact average students so thatprograms are not designed that will not meet the students’ expectations or needs.The primary purpose of this NSF-sponsored work is to provide definitions of
