As mentioned previously, the data in this study currently do not consider thesocioeconomic factors of the students, but this may be added as the demographics of incomingstudents change and the longer-term impacts of COVID on the K-12 system continue to be felt.The insights gained from this work will be used to inform the development of academic supportand retention programs within SEAS. A 2022 ASEE workshop outlined a retention program thatincluded a range of student-focused strategies, including summer bridge programs, the use of e-portfolios to reflect on learning, collaborative courses that

including engineering educationresearchers in the rotation of technical speakers, we created opportunities for faculty learning aswell as enhancing student buy-in. We brought in faculty from other universities and departments,not only to learn from them, but to learn together, as we found that the most engaging and usefulworkshops were those that opened up discussions of concerns and shifted into generativediscussions of ways faculty could resolve their concerns and try out new approaches [34]. Thisapproach supported faculty beyond the guiding team to engage in inquiry about their teachingand its effect on learning [35]. In addition, early in the project, through external evaluation, wediscovered a covert value: all of our faculty expressed that

priority across all levels. Together, these five components streamline the evaluation process and provide instructors with targeted, actionable feedback across multiple areas of their teaching and course design. This comprehensive model supports instructors in making data-driven improvements that directly enhance student learning and success. Discussion The five-facet evaluation model provides a well-rounded and practical approach to assessing teaching effectiveness, moving beyond the narrow scope of traditional evaluation methods. The five components of our model were selected through a combination of institutional reflection and practical need. While informed by broad literature on assessment and feedback, this

We identifiedprojects labeled as ‘design’ projects within the curriculum. They tended to be formulated interms more ‘concrete’ (embedded in the world) than those questions encountered in typicalengineering science courses in which the objects of analysis tend to be simplified andidealized out of the world. The ‘design’ projects tended to require knowledge beyond a singledisciplinary specialization and they tended to include a number of decision steps through theprocess of design. However, many did privilege specialized disciplinary
