Even if faculty desire to improve their mentoring relationships, thereare few structures in place at most universities to translate postdoctoral concerns to theirsupervisors in a meaningful way [19]. To this end, most articles on postdoctoral mentorshipconclude with calls for more robust mentorship, closer advisor relationships, focused careerdevelopment, and professional skills training (e.g., 15, 19, 20]. Considering that implementingthese recommendations or other improvements must either be provided by the mentor or have thementor’s support in the undertaking, without supervisors’ intentional efforts to improve theirmentoring, these calls are

URM students lag considerably behind White and Asian students in degreecompletion and faculty appointments. One intervention widely touted as effective in promotingpositive outcomes is mentoring however URM students often lack access to mentoring and justas importantly mentors lack culturally responsive knowledge, skills and dispositions required tobe effective mentors to URM students. A qualitative study was conducted to better understandhow the knowledge, skills and dispositions of STEM faculty align with culturally responsivementoring. Three themes were constructed from the

As the pandemic continues to shape our world for years to come, finding effective andrigorous methods to examine the issue with depth and precision is vital. In this paper, we presentour pilot study's findings that provide insights into the immediate effects of COVID-19 onstudents' learning experiences.

Relationship among faculty attitudes and practices, and student attitudes and outcomes It is important to note that it is faculty practices that drive potential changes in studentmotivation and performance. Faculty attitudes help guide their practice, and are reinforced bysuccessful student outcomes, but attitudes per se are only indirectly responsible for studentachievement, persistence, and motivation. But sadly, Learner-centered practices are usedinfrequently by post-secondary faculty.7 Part of the problem concerns the fact that an

At this time, post-pandemic, the ramifications toengineering education are still being discerned.This work attempts to begin to understand in what ways engineering faculty perceive theirteaching to have changed and to what extent course policies have evolved post-pandemic. Inparticular, given rising mental health concerns, have faculty instituted pedagogies and policiesthat are more compassionate?

Given that more journals and fundingagencies require some form of data discovery whether it be open or not, researchers will benegotiating open science practices more and more. Unlike some disciplines such as ecology andgenomics where data sharing is necessary to move the field of research forward, similar practicesin engineering have not been widely adopted.

This was the result ofconclusions reached by the Institution of Engineers, Australia task force [17].A survey of employers, in Australia, clearly showed that employers wereconcerned with the lack of social literacies and knowledge concerned withhuman affairs in amongst engineering graduates. They placed high prioritiesthat these issues needed to be addresses through engineering curricula at eventhe expense of engineering elective subjects as well as some core engineeringand fundamental science subjects [18].

The endresult was to expand the network to include all of the students, faculty, and alumni in thedepartment, thus addressing the concerns raised by the participants. During the Fall of 2008, the venue for the online social network was changed fromFacebook to Ning. There were several reasons which motivated this change. First of all,Facebook lacked the administrative control required to fully control the network. Morespecifically, the ability of inviting specific members and excluding problematic ones wasidentified, and foreseen to be a necessity. Second, Facebook groups have a fixed appearancewhich has little flexibility. One of the benefits of using Ning is that the site
