descriptors that educators described as both assets and challenges.)Conclusion and ImplicationsAs part of a broader effort to support engineering education reform at HSIs, this paper aims to further theunderstanding of how educators at HSIs perceive their undergraduate students. In particular, a qualitativestudy was conducted with 36 engineering educators from 13 HSIs in Arizona, New Mexico, Florida, andTexas who attended one of two Rethinking Engineering Education at HSIs workshops in the spring of2018. Before and throughout the workshops, participants engaged in individual and group activities thathelped them reflect on their students and their students’ experiences in the engineering curriculum. Theirresponses to an activity exploring the assets

the project include: 1. increase the awareness of what is "needed" to be anassistant professor; 2. quantify the specific areas PhD students and post-docs need the mostassistance with; 3. increase the participant knowledge on effective STEM undergraduatelearning; 4. advance the awareness and skills pertaining to curriculum development, deliveryand assessment; 5. enhance the establishment of a research career; and 6. increase participantnetworking opportunities.The primary activity was a two-week professional development training during the summer.ACADEME (Advancing Career in Academics with Diversity and Mentorship in Engineering)Fellows were recruited from the three institutions collaborating on the project as well as fromuniversities in the

, which helps situate this group for success.Development of a scaffolded approach to enhancing undergraduate students’ knowledge andskills supporting inclusive and socially just teaming practices. As originally conceived, thisproject was to facilitate the design of a progressive, four-year curriculum that supportsdevelopment of productive and inclusive teaming practices for engineering students. However,this scope was quickly reduced to engaging with first-year curriculum only (applicable across allengineering disciplines) in order to ensure the project objectives could be met considering thelimited time faculty have available to invest. The team is designing several modules that could beintegrated into introductory engineering courses across the
