October. A few faculty and students from North CarolinaAgricultural and Technical State University (NC A&T) – an HBCU – participated in the 2017HBCU/MSI research summit at VT. The visitors were taken to various labs and departments toexplore collaboration possibilities. It was during this visit in 2017 that the idea to develop aresearch proposal for the NSF/IUSE (National Science Foundation/Improving UndergraduateSTEM Education) program was conceived. The team also decided to invite a data science expertfrom Vanderbilt University (VU) to join the team. The goal was to incorporate data sciencemodules into a variety of interdisciplinary undergraduate courses at these institutions anddevelop best practices. The team submitted the proposal in
mostly lecture with pauses for questions inone of the physics classes, to shared problem solving in one of the mathematics classes, tostudent led activities in engineering. Student interactions with each other during class rangedfrom very little, particularly in the large lecture halls, to almost constant collaboration in classeswith laboratory formats. Implications for faculty development for the improvement of freshmanengineering programs are discussed.Introduction This study examines the relationship between the pedagogical beliefs and practices offaculty teaching required freshman courses for engineering students. Research shows that facultymay hold beliefs about teaching that, in the ideal, are learner-centered, but in reality

learning situations and problem-solving mathematically is a preferred and effectivemethod for engineering students.Despite the obvious fit that biomedical engineering programs and quantitatively-basedphysiology courses seem to make, quantitative courses in physiology are still quite rare.Biomedical engineering is a relatively young discipline. Undergraduate programs are in variousstates of development and a common core curriculum is still evolving. Many programs havelimited resources and faculty to teach their own departmental physiology courses. Takingadvantage of more qualitatively-oriented physiology courses is an economic necessity.Structuring Physiology Course ContentOrganizing course content requires at least two decisions – what topics to

interviews have been conducted at companies across thecountry (support NSF-PEER, Award Number 1935674). These interviews have focused onmanufacturing-centric companies, specifically asking about current work force development.From initial qualitative interview results, an aspect of GD&T or engineering design had 84occurrences throughout these interviews. Many interviewees, were engineers within companies,stating that GD&T is currently lacking from the skillsets of engineers. There is a need to improveGD&T curriculum at the undergraduate and graduate levels as well as within the current workforce.This paper discusses the development of a three-tiered instructional framework to teach coreGD&T concepts to undergraduates, graduates and

Courses Across Transfer InstitutionsAbstractThis work in progress compares perspectives of engineering faculty at a state community collegesystem (SCCS) and faculty at a public postsecondary institution in the college of engineering(COE) around first-year engineering (FYE) course delivery and equivalency across transferprograms. Community colleges that can develop transferable FYE courses allow students tomeet prerequisites and follow a path similar to non-transfer students, thereby addressing sometime-to-degree concerns associated with the transfer pathway. Although these courses aretheoretically equivalent according to the articulation agreement, the setting, student population,and resources are not always similar across programs, and therefore

In addition to faculty and staff who typically comprise departmental committees,graduate and undergraduate students were asked to join the committee so that all communitymembers are represented. Volunteers from each of the community groups were sought to ensurethat committee members were deeply committed to and interested in the cause. Since creation,the committee has been meeting on a weekly basis to develop the strategic plan, discuss ideas forimproving DEI in the community, and plan events and other actions to promote DEI.The goal of the DEI strategic plan is to create a diverse, equitable

Her research focuses on the role of racialized experiences and biases in STEM educational and career attainment, problematizing traditional notions of academic achievement and what is mean to be successful yet marginalized, and STEM identity and identity development in high-achieving students of color. She is currently the PI on two studies funded by NSF, the first of which investigates the causes behind why African Americans remain one of the most underrepresented racial groups in engineering faculty positions. The second study is working toward the design of a holistic

Adaptation to new modes of learning, followed by the "bouncingforward" of institutions resuming use of teaching frameworks ubiquitous to the pre-pandemicclassroom, requires one resource common to both individual and institutional inputs: the use andmanagement of time. The authors have previously observed that the different teaching methodsand technologies propagated in the 2020-2021 timeframe have shifted the in- and out-of-classroomtime necessary for learners to achieve markers of academic proficiency and wonder if a comparisonof where time commitments peak between faculty and cadet (student) samples over a mid-semesterspan of time may indicate a point

receive formal mentor training. Instead, they often learn mentoringskills informally from peer observations or by trial and error [16-19], even though prior studieshave shown that faculty could greatly benefit from formal training programs by developing andimproving their mentor skills [16, 19, 20]. This paper presents and promotes an innovative mentor training program, theAdvancement of Mentoring Practice Program (AMPP). In AMPP, faculty advisors and theirPh.D. students engage in concurrent training series with built-in feedback loops to enhance theircommunication skills and to improve mentoring relationships. We first briefly review theimportance of mentoring in higher education and summarize the mentoring role of facultyadvisors and the
