As one critical component of the PEAS, thispaper details a procedure for the development of a scale to probe the factors that may affect afaculty member’s persistence in relation to gender/sexual orientation, race/ethnicity, and SESidentities framed in intersectionality. Therefore, the PEAS includes a scale to measure constructsrelated to persistence and demographic items to capture the respondents’ various socialidentities. To create a valid measure

The results of this study may inform future faculty development efforts on adoption of activelearning strategies in classrooms that were proven to improve student learning and retention inengineering education.IntroductionActive learning approach has gained increasing popularity in engineering education.

The faculty and graduate student workclosely together to develop learning materials, design exercises, and exams. Typically, thegraduate student offers new ideas and learning exercises for the classroom that add new energyto the course. The faculty member provides guidance regarding the design of exam materials andwhat works well in the classroom.IntroductionMichigan Tech

However, the engineering profession, and society as a whole, is becomingmore and more integrated requiring communication skills for discussing a variety of topics witha variety of audiences. Engineering students need opportunities to practice communicatingtechnical information with non-technical audiences. One way for engineering instructors tofacilitate these opportunities is to collaborate with faculty in non-technical disciplines.Developing and sustaining cross-disciplinary learning experiences requires collaboratinginstructors to model strong communication and team-working skills for their students.

However, other priorities, a reduction in total courses from 38 to 36, and a generallack of support from engineering faculty for new programs led to inaction on major curricularchange until the past three years.

Unfortunately, there has been a lag in the adoption ofresearch-based teaching approaches by practitioners. At the same time faculty are limitedin the development of their instructional practices to short courses, workshops,conference proceedings and publications. All of these developmental activities requiresubstantial time, effort, and funding with no guarantee of application to the classroomand university context of participating faculty. In addition, faculty feedback is generallylimited to student evaluations and periodic observations
