mentoring opportunities is a promising strategy for improving retention andadvancement of women faculty members in engineering. Mentoring is traditionally adevelopmental relationship in which an experienced person provides informational, psychosocialand instrumental support to a less experienced person. In return, the mentor gains personalsatisfaction, respect from colleagues for successfully developing younger talent, and may growintellectually as well. Informational support is provided when a mentor provides “information”to a newcomer or less senior colleague. Examples include telling a newcomer where to findsupplies, the types of grants one should be writing, the journal outlets where one should bepublishing or generally clarifying the rules for

Nixon4 conducted a survey of faculty development activities in civilengineering. He issued written surveys to 200 departments of civil engineering andobtained 46 responses. The respondents represented a diverse set of institution types.Nixon noted that only 60% of the responding departments provided some form ofassistance to faculty to obtain professional licensure or other specialty certification. AsNixon suggests, degree programs run the risk of becoming too “divorced” from thepractice of civil

Complex problems with multiple topics were presented in videosthat were less than 10 minutes long. For example, there were 19 PowerPoint slides prepared for 5-minute video 1, which would have taken about 20 minutes to present in standard lecture mode. Onthe other hand, a major disadvantage is that it took approximately the equivalent of a two-weektime commitment from the faculty to develop and produce the videos, plus the time of the seniorproducer. However, the procedures and tools that were developed can be used to train otherinstructors interested in introducing videos like these into

Furthermore, some participants achieved academicsuccess despite poor well-being and thriving outcomes, which raises questions about the culturaland systemic factors that promote such dualism.

Industry Engagement versus Faculty Mentorship in Engineering Senior Capstone Design CoursesAbstract:The senior design capstone course is an important experience for engineering undergraduatestudents. This course prepares students for industry by having students solve open-ended real-world problems. During the course, a student team defines a problem, plans an approach,develops a solution, and validates their solution, which culminates in oral and writtendissemination. Typically, undergraduate programs have provided students with facultymentors to develop a solution for a specific project. In order for projects and teams to besuccessful, the mentors must provide invaluable support, collaboration, and interest in
