Holistic PhD Admissions Rubric was developed and implemented for use by allgraduate programs in the engineering school of a large R1 University. This rubric is an evaluationtool built into the central admissions system that aids faculty reviewers through best practices inPhD admissions. The rubric facilitates the use of these practices while still permitting a degree ofuniformity to the review process, albeit one that further ensures excellence, access, and equity.The rubric utilizes nine criteria, including metrics such as letters of evaluation scores,demonstration of research potential/vision, evidence of motivation/persistence/ability to overcomeobstacles, and potential for leadership. Each criterion includes suggestions on where in

Our partnership specifically focuses on engaging and growing K-12STEAM education in a manner that does not place the burden solely on K-12 teachers.Utilizing a design-based implementation research approach, the school and university teamscreated numerous collaborative activities for upper elementary-aged students. The process ofimproving activities occurred through iterative interviews, student work samples, and feedbackfrom the K-12 students and undergraduate team leaders. The results from this iterative processwere then used to develop an initial framework for what makes successful activities for theSTEAM x S-L partnership. The framework was then mapped to current literature arounddevelopmentally appropriate teaching

There is even some exploration of increasingengineering students’ awareness of their unconscious bias through classroom modules (e.g.,Lauber and Mertz, 2021). However, we argue that these discussions and others like them oftenexclude a key component that could help students build a better understanding of their hiddenmind: emphasizing the underlying mental processes. It can be easy for students to dismiss bias intheir work, and while some students readily grasp the idea of hidden or unconscious bias, formany others, the idea that there is a potential “unawareness” within

Further,engaging in scholarship and work that deviates from the hard coded “norms” in education mayalso make faculty and students who do such work to be considered less meritorious. Yet, as waspointed out in the thoughtful and constructive reviews of an earlier version of this paper,foregrounding conflict may help disrupt this cultural reproduction of values and behaviors.Debates about sociotechnical integration through the use of historyA second way in which we are conceptualizing engineering as conflict as a generative analyticalcategory is to connect it to the

Frequent changes in the K- 12 math curriculum in the United States is one example of how curricular instability leads to underachievement. As Anderson observes, “Teachers no sooner learn how to teach to one goal than they find that the curriculum goals have changed.”8• Set guidelines keep a program in line with trends and needs in the field of engineering.

This is a significant improvement because students had littleknowledge of engineering prior and was limited to state curriculum.While conferences are good for post-graduates and workers, middle and high school studentsrequire activities beyond their routine.
