Faculty are identified as the pivotal resource around which the outcomes ofpostsecondary education revolve; therefore, it is essential to understand who they are, what theydo, and whether, how, and why they are changing. 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

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. A new administration and strategic growth plan adopted by thecollege in 2016 provided a renewed opportunity to consider how the engineering division mightrespond to some of the recommendations of the earlier reviews.

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
