They include the following: peer observers/evaluators, evaluate data fromprofessional teaching activities, awards and recognition, professional development,involvement in instructional development, document your classroom instructions, studentoutcomes, student testimonies, attend effective teaching workshops and utilizing constructivecriticism.Peer observers. Have a faculty member come observe and evaluate your classroominstructions, and write a summary of their evaluations.

The specific desired outcomes of the program were to: 1) improve students’ knowledgeof, as well as a demonstrate proficiency in, culturally competent research skills relevant to theirmajor field of study under the mentorship of a faculty member; 2) increase students’ level ofcomfort when working with people from different cultures through exposure to thetechnological, economic, and socio-political aspects of Venezuelan society; and 3) increasestudents’ awareness of cultural differences by considering their own culture from another’sperspective and thereby developing a global view of research.Research Program During the summer of 2005, industrial engineering students from
incorporate evidence-based instructional practices(EBIPs) in STEM, Fisher and colleagues (2019) found that the siloed nature of departments wasa major barrier to change. They noted that even within departments, faculty would not discusstheir teaching practices with others [4]. The lack of discussion about EBIPs might have been dueto a lack of time or buy-in from the faculty [5], [6]. Faculty may not have the adequate resourcesto develop the necessary course material or may not have been supported by their department inthe change initiative [7]. Current conventional methods for examining pedagogical change initiatives in highereducation include semi-structured interviews with change agents, analyzing pedagogicalartifacts, and surveys of
productivity and university income5, andstates enact measures to encourage this.6 The past two decades have also seen a concomitantincrease in the desire from university administration through federal granting agencies forengineering faculty members to develop active learning strategies to teach undergraduates, apractice recommended by numerous recent studies. 7,8,9.Given a limited amount of time and pressure to actively involve undergraduates and conductresearch, it is commonly assumed that new faculty intuitively understand the need to combinethe teaching and research domains. While that is true, it is not obvious how do this effectively, Page
minorities inengineering disciplines. However, very little has focused on the issues faced byunderrepresented minorities who pursue a graduate degree or the need for effective mentoring ofpost-docs and faculty in engineering to attract and retain them to pursue academic careers.Women and ethnic minorities usually do not persist in academia because they frequently receivelower salaries, heavier teaching loads, less research support, and serve on more committees thantheir male counterparts. Although these disparities are more pronounced at the faculty level, thisleads to higher attrition rates at every level of career their development, starting at theundergraduate level.This paper will present our approach and preliminary results of a National
process where faculty are introduced to new teaching techniques and implement them.Studies that evaluate change by measuring the amount and type of concrete changes to teaching are thenorm [1], [2], [3]. However, two areas of alternative evaluation approaches have been called for, thosethat evaluate the fidelity of implementations [7] and those that evaluate the impact changes have onstudents [6], [8], [9]. Both shift away from solely measuring what faculty do. While measuring fidelityand learning are important improvements, they leave a gap in our understanding of course and curricularchange.Little work documents how faculty affect changes in their courses, especially change independent ofmajor faculty development efforts and structures.

majorundergraduate curriculum shift at a US research university. As a part of the revised curriculum,faculty are required to include ethical reasoning and/or global awareness as a portion of theirprogram. However, a majority of the faculty involved in the program were not primarily trained inethics or global education. As a result, many faced institutional barriers and challenges whenattempting to incorporate practices and pedagogies into their classroom. With the outbreak ofCOVID-19 in the past year, students and faculty have had to adapt to online teaching formatswhich present an additional set of difficulties for faculty in developing ethics and global educationpedagogies.

achieving USMA’s Engineering and Technology outcomes. The author developed amethod to identify the graded events that supported each of the course’s objectives, determinehow well they supported those objectives, and then link objective achievement to the USMAlevel outcomes through a subjective pair-wise comparison of the course objectives. Positivefeedback from faculty in the ME program led to expansion of this process to capture the studentperformance data and faculty input from all ME program courses and feed this into a programlevel assessment. The resulting evaluation combines the strengths of objective evaluation (basedon graded events) and subjective evaluation (based on faculty experience).This paper describes the motivation for developing
engineering faculty’s communication pedagogy in theengineering classroom. We have surveyed engineering faculty at a variety of institutions todetermine to what degree they incorporate communication into their technical classes. Theproject included the development of an electronic survey instrument that collected responsesfrom engineering faculty at programs and departments in the United States. In addition to thesurvey results, we conducted focus groups with small groups of faculty, both at our institutionand at the site of the 2008 Frontiers in Education Conference, in order to dig deeper into the datacollected. The conclusions we draw from analysis of the survey and focus group results indicatethat engineering faculty have incorporated
that fueled these results. Appropriate data was collected,analyzed and used to identify contributing factors that lead to the attraction and retention ofminority more specifically, black Engineering and Technology faculty members at thisinstitution. Using several data analysis techniques, we show that there is a high correlationbetween diversity (in terms of students, faculty and the academic learning environment) and theattraction and retention of black engineering and technology faculty members. These dataindicate that the diversity model implemented at this university is successful in attracting andretaining minority faculty members. Consequently as a result of this work, similar facultydiversity models can be developed and used to increase
