Through interviewswith departing faculty, as well as faculty negotiating retention packages, we clarify additionalfactors affecting faculty of color retention. In this paper, we (1) discuss main findings about theclimate for faculty of color on our campus, (2) describe how social science research, institutionaldata, and evaluation inform our programmatic work, and (3) highlight how the strategic use ofdata allows us to better engage campus stakeholders in institutional change efforts in support offaculty diversity.IntroductionThe underrepresentation of faculty women of color in academia remains a national

The homework includedfive questions and the students would select the question they wanted to evaluate their resultswith the virtual training aid under the “Select Question” option. Once selected, the studentswould select their file from the resource directory and click the “Load File” button. Differentcapabilities were provided to the students based on which question they selected. In general, thestudents were able to toggle their well path vector points on/off, toggle fault lines on/off, andmanipulate the build rate

the learning environment created by the instructor [1-2]. A properlydesigned learning environment ought to minimize the influence of the teacher on learning whilemaximizing the learning habits of the student. One potential method for doing this is to create a“specifications-based” learning environment wherein the assessment of student performance isstructured around requiring students to engage course materials in ways that are consistent witheffective learning. This paper examines the application of a specifications-based environment tothe design and delivery of a Statics/Dynamics course.The specifications-based approach outlined in this paper is derived from two disparate fields.The first is that of Statistical Process Control as practiced
international student perspective. We seek agreater understanding of the following: 1) experiences that contribute to international students’ perceivedsense of belonging, and 2) contributors to international students’ perceived quality of interactions with peersand faculty. A qualitative research approach using the critical incident technique with a constructivistperspective was used for this study. The overall results, and in particular understandings about the conceptof ‘sense of belonging’ that emerged from the students’ lived experiences, will provide insights fordeveloping an improved and inclusive institutional support structure for international students within U.S.engineering doctoral education.Sense of belonging Sense of belonging is

These decisions can have significant impacts on theoverall design, the subsequent life-cycle costs, and the safety of stakeholders. Thus, it is criticalto examine how to better incorporate stakeholder requirements and context considerations earlyand throughout the design process.In the final year of most undergraduate curriculum, aerospace engineering students participate ina senior (also known as capstone) design course, which aims to provide an authentic designexperience for the students and to prepare them to overcome design-related challenges duringtheir careers.

However, after years ofworking in engineering admissions, a more probable hypothesis emerged that the pool ofengineering-eligible students that come from communities of color is smaller than might beexpected.

engineering students’ ability tochange their register or other linguistic/structural features to meet the expectations of the rangeof audiences.1. IntroductionLower-division engineering students in four-year colleges are exposed to many writingassignments not only from their STEM courses but also from general education courses. Often,they are assigned to write argumentative papers on humanities subjects; at the same time, theyneed to write lab reports for engineering labs. This means that the audience expectations ofwriting assignments vary for lower-division engineering students. Indeed, the AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology, Inc.

Further, most participants believed their general writing improved as a result of the DDL(M = 3.17) and that they would use the related skills in their future writing (M = 3.33).Participants also ranked the DDL content lessons from most enjoyable to least enjoyable.

Curriculum-level approaches to teaching engineeringwriting can generally be categorized relative to two extremes along the integration spectrum,namely: (a) a highly focused delivery of writing instruction, with the most focused deliverybeing a single, stand-alone course in technical communication, or (b) a diffused approach, inwhich technical writing instruction is integrated throughout the curriculum.Case Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Formal writing in Formal writing in a composition and None None Senior Design or communication course
