Teams developedcharters that outlined inclusive practices to ensure equitable participation. Inclusive teampractices were implemented, as outlined in the paper by Pfluger et.al.[11] After each milestone,students evaluate themselves and teammates using a five-point behavioral scale on five criteria:(a) contributing to the team; (b) interacting with teammates; (c) keeping the team on track; (d)expecting quality from the team; and (e) having relevant knowledge, skills, and abilities to fostercommunication and more effective team practices.Entrepreneurial mindset

When the 2021 ABET reviewoccurred, a weakness was assigned for our program in Criterion 4: continuous improvement.The weakness was attributable to (a) faculty not assessing all elements of certain studentoutcomes (SOs), (b) inconsistency in which aspect of SOs were assessed by different instructorsteaching two different sections of the same course, and (c) faculty averaging their assessmentscores in an ad-hoc manner. ABET determined that the department assessment results did notrepresent a systematic assessment process that was applied in a consistent manner throughout theprogram.The new

Specifically, we sought to understand (a) how facultyuse CEE and what they value about it; (b) barriers and improvements to publication and use; and(c) perceptions of the “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Consideration Requirement,” whichbegan in 2021. To guide this work, we posed the following research questions: 1) What is theperceived utility of CEE? How do faculty use CEE? What do they value about the journal?; 2)What are the opportunities for improvement? What barriers preclude publication and use?; and3) What are the perceptions of the “Diversity, Equity, and
