The open-ended ATE problem scenarios encourage creative solutions, with not expectation of only one correct answer.• "Function effectively on teams." SC ATE students work in teams throughout their ATE experience.• "Identify, analyze and solve technical problems."

Aunique initiative within the Campus Climate component is the Advocates and Allies program,designed to intentionally involve faculty men in institutional change to transform departmentalcultures and practices. Advocates are charged with recruiting and training other faculty men asallies, and increasing their own knowledge of topics such as unconscious bias and maleprivilege by reading and discussing relevant literature. On issues of gender equity, we havefound that faculty men are more open to critique if they hear it from respected male colleagues;participants in the FORWARD Advocates/Allies program have been instrumental in gainingcampus wide support for policy changes that impact faculty women.

Highlighting the voices of students who experience racial microaggressionswithin engineering may provide helpful illustrations of the messages and behaviors somestudents perceive as being detrimental to their academic achievement in engineering.Theoretical Framework In engineering fields, students’ experience with research, and their relationships withtheir faculty advisor and peers, appear to be most germane to shaping students’ learning, theirprofessional identity, and graduate experiences.8 To more fully understand how individuals learn– and how their identities develop – through interactions and participation with others, this paperdraws on sociocultural perspectives on learning as a theoretical framework.

Another proposal is for teachers to simply reflect on their experience in the class andidentify areas for improvement [33]. Zahraee et al. adds more structure to this approach byasking faculty members to set their own goals and then reflect on their performance meetingthose goals over the last year [6].Three more situation-specific professional development aspects of faculty CI are also addressed:accreditation, quality management, and curriculum design [24].

Students then go into the materials laboratory and mix up the proportions of rock,sand, cement and water to make up a concrete mix. The students then make a test cylinder usinga plastic mold.

expectations, opportunities for faculty to learn about newpedagogies, and an equitable reward system.Introduction“To teach is to engage students in learning.” This quote, from Education for Judgment byChristenson et al (1991), captures the meaning of the art and practice of pedagogies ofengagement. The theme advocated here is that student involvement is an essential aspect ofmeaningful learning. Also, engaging students in learning is principally the responsibility of theinstructor, who should become less an imparter of knowledge and more a designer and afacilitator of learning opportunities. In other words, the real challenge in college teaching is nottrying to cover the material for the students, as many of us practice today; but rather uncoveringthe

Accountability for engineeringdesign had carried over as a theme from the 1970's.Also, in the late 80's, outcomes assessment swept across the country as the latest hot topic ineducational circles. The State of Colorado mandated outcomes assessment starting in 1988.There was a budgetary penalty for any institution that did not comply, and the State providedsupplementary funding for assessment programs. During the 1990's, State interest in outcomesassessment waned, support dwindled and disappeared, and assessment activities on campusfollowed suit. There was strong evidence

important. One critical component of this effort is to increase the “visibility” ofinfrastructure management. The following specific steps were identified by the workshopparticipants to accomplish this goal: • Include infrastructure management content in core undergraduate courses so that students are introduced to the topic early in the curriculum. These courses can be used to recruit high quality students. • Define and communicate the principles of infrastructure management. Participants emphasized the importance of reaching the design and construction community. • Obtain funding to increase the visibility of the field and to support graduate and undergraduate students

That takeaway is supportedthen by visual evidence—bulleted lists are not used. Because this approach has so few words onthe slides, the students have to fashion almost all of the sentences on the spot. In our sections of the course, we have chosen the assertion-evidence approach for threereasons.

Community for Academic Advising notes that, “Academic advising, based in the teaching and learning mission of higher education, is a series of intentional interactions with a curriculum, a pedagogy, and a set of student learning outcomes. Academic advising synthesizes and contextualizes students’ educational experiences within the frameworks of their aspirations, abilities and lives to extend learning beyond campus boundaries and timeframes” [3].We recognize that mentoring and advising are not the same. However, we note that the modeldescribed in this paper/poster is designed to be utilized in both mentoring and advising contextsfor this S-STEM program.
