Acommon theme expressed by mentees concerned the identification of strong mentors as a barrierto their EER training, and in general, mentees on teams with multiple mentors reported a betteroverall experience. RIEF mentees were often faculty at institutions without formal EERprograms, lacking available mentors and thus paired with faculty at other institutions, leading tocomplicated schedules and a lack of consistent mentorship, in addition to other issues.

If students have not acclimated to the time zone and the culture to atleast a small degree then the issues with presenting technical concepts to different cultures willnot be as noticeable to the students. The final issue concerns the interval between the face-to-facevisits (the previous three weeks between visits was too short). The next implementation willensure that there is a longer period between the visits. VI.

The COVID environment highlighted the importance of technology as the environmentitself went virtual, but it also became a challenge to keep up with the continuous stream ofapplication updates and new features. Just like the concern implied from the original statement,poorly integrated technology becomes a major distraction to learning.Collaborative learning was also found to be a challenge to implement.

One of the biggest hurdles forimproving academic integrity appears to be the difference in how students and faculty viewacademic integrity and cheating [9], [4], [12]. This pervades all the way down to their differingdefinitions of cheating, with faculty typically perceiving unethical behavior to be inherently apart of cheating, while students see cheating and acting unethically as separate issues [4], [11],[3].This is a particularly concerning outcome, given that at least some students report that faculty aretheir primary source of information

particular areas of ethical concern requires that one compare this, as best as onecan, to that person’s general ability to be ethically sensitive. In this manner one can tell whetheror not a given individual or group of people is specifically more or less sensitive to researchethics than they are sensitive to everyday cases involving ethical dilemmas. Knowing this wouldallow one to begin to examine and diagnose whether and why one individual or group of peopleis more or less sensitive to RCR over and above the fact that they may simply be more or lesssensitive to ethical issues per se.In this paper, we describe the design of our instrument for measuring ethical sensitivity to RCRand examine the results of our pilot study of the instrument among a

While in earliertimes this may not have been such an issue, it has real consequences for the profession as itattempts to engage with a more complex world. Moreover it limits the ability of new faculty,lacking this grounding in diverse modes of inquiry, to engage with people outside the disciplinein scholarship and research in engineering education.In order to move forward, we must first take a step back and critically examine theepistemological foundations on which engineering education research is based and develop amore exclusive base from which to operate.
