embedded link to a search request web form that is sent periodically by library staff to encourage, simplify and improve the mechanisms to interact with library staff. The goal is to make engagement with the reference librarian easier and more specifically to encourage and make search requests easy to submit. Additionally, it would be beneficial to organize a meeting at the start of each year in which the reference librarian personally engages with the faculty and informs them of the library resources that they can use. This meeting could assist in developing a personal connection between the reference librarian and faculty members and thereby motivate them to use the process described in the next item.2) Implementation of an on-line
of femalerole models and a “critical mass” of women, the “shadow job” expectation for female faculty ofmentoring students even though they receive little formal recognition or reward, the chillyclimate of STEM, and students’ low self-perception of ability and confidence). Specifically as aresult of participation, RISE Scholars are more firmly committed to STEM; seven Scholars andUndergraduate Fellows are pursuing advanced degrees. Faculty Mentors have received formalrecognition for their participation, and more importantly, many have developed new researchinitiatives, published papers, and secured additional funding from funding agencies. GraduateFellows have felt understood and have developed closer, more personal relationships with

Respondents revealed they collaborate with medical faculty and share data within researchpublications. Carle Illinois College of Medicine (CI COM) launched in 2018 is a collaborationbetween engineering and medical faculty affiliated with various research disciplines anddepartments. This creates an opportunity to explore the implications of data sharing withinengineering and medical research.Current literature indicates in-depth data sharing policies and mandates among funders, journalsand

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2021 Reclassifying Teaching Methods based on a Comparison of Student and Faculty Perceptions of Corporate Social Responsibility in the ClassroomAbstract Though Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been identified as an important part ofundergraduate and graduate curriculum for the Mining and Petroleum Departments by both industry andprofessors, there seems to be a difference between student identification of CSR content that could indicatea difference in teaching styles and possible effectiveness. We know very little about engineering professors’experiences of teaching CSR to engineering students. Previous research has investigated how

Vocational Teacher Educationproject aims to develop the use and management of virtual learning environments in the area ofvocational teacher training, drawing on a well established international partnership of institutionsproviding both technical and educational expertise. This paper gives an overall picture of resultsand products of the collaboration. We touch upon the aims, the assessments and the learningprocess of using “Multimedia and e-Learning: e-learning methods and tools” module in detail.The main cooperative and collaborative devices are presented in virtual learning environment.The communication during collaborative learning, the structured debate on forum and theefficiency of collaborative learning in VLE are interpreted at the end of

Students summarize their findings in a 1-2 pages long NABC report, in whichstudents identify the important need the routing protocol addresses, the approach to address thatneed, and compare the benefits per cost ratio to competing strategies. This practice of using NABCmotivates them to focus on value creation, which is the core of EML.1. IntroductionEntrepreneurially Minded Learning (EML) is an innovative pedagogical approach designed toinstill entrepreneurial mindsets in students. In addition, EML prepares students to deal with real-world technical and innovation challenges with creativity and strategic thinking [1]. Moreover,this EML approach enhances students’ technical capabilities as well as develops
