member has the opportunity to explain how her or his class wasplanned and delivered. This is a win-win situation since through this process each facultymember collects and analyses the evidence required (curriculum evidence by program, criterion5) for any international accreditation project such as ABET.To better understand this strategy, the evolution of the portfolio will be explained below.Initial stage – before 2015An instrument (a form to be filled out) called the faculty self-evaluation was used to recordfaculty members’ evaluations of the achievement of the objectives proposed in the coursesyllabus, as well as the effectiveness of the strategies and materials used in achieving them. Inaddition, the results of course evaluations completed

focus groups representing a range of engineering departmentsincluding aerospace (N=1), biomedical (N=1), computer science (N=7), civil (N=2), electrical &computer (N=3), materials science (N=2), and mechanical (N=5). Demographic data aboutgender, race/ethnicity, national origin, was not collected for the focus group participants.The focus group protocol, which was primarily informed by the research questions, includedquestions about their teaching experiences, their reflection on the inclusive teaching training atorientation, and an opportunity for participants to individually write their definition of inclusiveteaching. The study was approved by our university’s institutional review board.Table 2. Engineering Focus Group Participants

enough of our ideas...I willnever be a hundred percent of the teacher I want to be, and I think that’s probably a good thingthat I approach it that way. I’m always supposed to be evolving and getting better, and part ofthat is sharing our ideas, and we just don’t do that. So I was attracted to joining that groupbecause it was a forum for sharing ideas about teaching.” Describing the additional enjoymentthat comes from treating teaching as a collaborative activity, another group member said, “I liketeaching more, because I feel that it won’t be just go in there and repeat what I already know tothe students, so mechanical. And the thing is that after I hear so many people - everybody’sissues - I feel that teaching itself is a lively thing. It’s

and types, the primary modeof evaluation is either end-of-term student evaluations of teaching (SET) or faculty observations,or some combination of the two (Villanueva et al., 2017). Other less common methods includedmid-term evaluations, graduate and alumni interviews, and evaluation of classroom materials(e.g., syllabus, homework, exams). Though each form of evaluation might have its individualdrawbacks and advantages, combining approaches generally helps to mitigate the weaknessesassociated with any single method and paint more complete accurate picture of teachingeffectiveness.Although many faculty reported using some combination of measures to conduct evaluation, theway these measures were used were highly variable. For instance, SET is
