proceedings were extracted and analyzed for this purpose.These proceedings constitute a significant portion of current scholarly research in engineeringeducation and offer a robust foundation for examining trends in language use over this three-yearperiod. To identify biased language, we utilized a keyword-based model, drawing keywords fromthe language guidelines of the APA 7th edition, which emphasize the importance of inclusiveand bias-free language. We identified 85 keywords that could potentially induce bias,categorizing them by subject area in engineering education, as detailed in Table 1. This approachled to the initial identification of 5,134 potential instances of language bias. A subsequentmanual review was then conducted to exclude

A structured surveyinstrument was employed to assess the impact of IRES program on research competency ofstudents as well as their global cultural understanding and preparedness. The survey results showedthat there were net positive gains in average research competency scores as reported by theparticipants after the program. Those gains were seen across the student populations groupsregardless of gender, diversity, student academic standing, and the type of their home institutions.Further, the survey results have revealed that even with the challenges of COVID-19 pandemicand the entire program being virtual, all of the initial goals were successfully accomplished.On the other hand, the

This paper describes our experience with mentoring a cohort of ten high achieving undergraduate students in Summer 2019 to conduct engineering HPC research for ten weeks in Clarkson University. Our mentoring activity was informed and motivated by an initial informal study with the goal to learn the roles and status of HPC in engineering research and what can be improved to make more effective use of it. Through a combination of email surveys, in-person interviews, and an analysis of faculty research profiles in Clarkson University, we learn several characteristics of their research

Indeed, there is ample evidence that the inclusion of women and minoritiesimproves the productivity and creativity of teams.

Unfortunately, many faculty struggle with balancing thesometimes competing goals of these responsibilities, and are often influenced by a reward structurethat pushes research. However, research on teaching suggests that external motivation such asuniversity reward structures can transition to more internal motivation through professionaldevelopment experiences (Bouwma-Gearhart, 2012). Furthermore, research suggests that facultysupport beyond the initial introductory workshop is needed for continued implementation of newteaching strategies (Henderson, et al., 2012).
