implementation pace than the faculty prefer, but the University setting needs to be able torealistically facilitate and sustain the changes which we expect to take a few semesters tocomplete.DiscussionIn these two illustrative cases we highlight some of the procedural and focal points of TrefnyCenter’s work with individual faculty. In the meantime, we are working to create shifts across allfour settings as illustrated in Table 2.The general steps we typically follow are: 1) Clarify learning outcomes. Either confirm agreed upon outcomes already in existence, or fine-tune outcomes through concept-mapping, and consider eliminating overages. 2) Change assessment practices to better align what is being assessed to the course learning outcomes

research. Thebenefits of mentoring in the workplace have long been documented in the literature, yet early andmid-career faculty at Oakland University were generally left to fend for themselves unless theywere fortunate enough to identify helpful faculty in their departments on their own. TheWISE@OU program has hence set out to develop a multi-faceted, effective and sustainablementoring program for faculty in STEM. An unusually high percentage of women in the 2012cohort of new STEM faculty (5 out of 8) presented the WISE@OU program with a uniqueopportunity to test out different mentoring models and have a lasting impact on this andsubsequent faculty cohorts. One-on-one, peer-to-peer and group mentoring activities wereorganized, first for the 2012

This study concludes with anidentification of gaps in PLTW literature that scholars might utilize to focus future PLTW-related investigations, which will in turn improve future PLTW and PLTW-related interventions.1.

Taking this approach to understanding Black women’sexperiences, our study is poised to push boundaries such as these in the discipline of engineering,filling the gap of understanding the definitions and importance of engineering role identity forBlack women in the engineering profession.The research questions for this study are: 1. How do Black women define engineering identity in the workplace? 2. How do Black women reconcile their definition of engineering identity with the stereotypical definition of engineering identity? 3.

This phase was inspired by themechanics of popular tower defense type video games, such as Plants vs. Zombies, Clash ofClans, and Desktop Tower Defense. In these kinds of games, the player is attacked by waves ofenemies. The players of these games must erect obstacles to dispatch the attacking waves toprotect their home base.

The students would also benefit from taking basic engineeringcourses, i.e. math and science courses at the local institution closer to their “homes” with arelative small class size. A benefit to the mainstream institution would be that they gaindiversity in their graduating classes without proportional expansion of general student recruitingactivities.

In fact, when the focus group participants were asked to comment on the gainsthey had made since joining the academy, the most commonly raised topic was that courseworkwas quite easy. And, in response to the statement “STEM courses are too difficult,” studentsreplied with an average of 2.26 on a Likert-type scale (1 = strongly disagree, 5 = strongly agree).Just one student was in agreement.From the teachers’ point-of-view, traditional assessment methods, in a way, directly
