performance(s) are generally assumed rather than examined in most research on theundergraduate engineering experience. Based on interviews with 100 faculty, administrators, andstudent support professionals at five campuses, I describe a variety of faculty views toward theteaching of engineering generally, and toward different demographic groups of students. Idescribe the variety of contexts within which engineering education is conducted, and theirinfluences on faculty attitudes and behaviors. I move from the national level to the university orthe college, which affects faculty life and their views about teaching and students. Locally, Iemphasize the department, in which cultural and organizational factors come together mostimmediately in faculty

Approximately one-third of my students each semester are international students. I havenot found that the fact that English is not the first language of many of my students to present anyserious problems. Moreover, I do not feel that language is a barrier to the students’ learning ofphysics. In fact, the folder activities have an added benefit for all of the students, whetherEnglish is their first language or not; and that is their communication skills are enhanced.

I didn’t know he was going to gothrough everyone’s project. I felt picked on and humiliated. When other students startedcommenting on the quality it made me so mad. Once the instructor started picking at otherprojects I figured out what he was doing but I still had some strong emotions with me. This iswhat I liked best about this lesson.

undergraduate engineering education also has shown theimportance of benchmarking as a potential lever in the change process. The ECSEL coalitiondemonstrated that academic leaders could motivate their own faculty members to change byshowing that their faculty peers in partner institutions were changing 15. This finding isconsistent with the literature on systemic reform, which argues that the reform process isdependent on more than internal dynamics. Instead, an array of external, institutional,departmental, and individual factors are crucial 16-18.Prestige and Status: Role Models for Innovation in Undergraduate EducationAcademic institutions, their programs, their faculty and administrators typically aspire to join theranks of those perceived as
