-granting, Title IV-eligible institutions for higher education, and they enroll approximately30 percent of all undergraduates in the United States [1]. However, in 2018, only 3 percent of allfederal obligations for science and engineering research and development provided to institutionsof higher education was distributed to MSIs. Two agencies that tend to provide most of theresearch funding, the National Institute for Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation(NSF), awarded 2 percent and 6 percent of their research funding to MSIs in 2018 [2]. Federalfunding agencies, such as the NSF, have recognized the need to diversify their fundingportfolios to increase the engagement of under-participating institutions, including MSIs.

limitations at the time of the model implementation by theprofessors of the discipline, primarily in the competence of the conceive, design, implement,operate cycle. It is then assumed that a faculty member is expected to demonstrate her or his ability in the competencies proposed by the model. Specifically, CDIO Standards 9 and 10 address the issue of faculty training for the development of these competencies.[4]. With this in mind, the current research seeks to answer the question, do the faculties of engineering schools need to improve and update their knowledge, skills and attitudes in order to demonstrate their ability to guarantee the learning process of students under the requirements of engineering education standards such as CDIO or ABET

American c Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Thinking Entrepreneurially about Your CareerAbstractThis Work-in-Progress paper outlines an approach that a faculty member can utilize to takeownership of their career. Although many full-time faculty, whether mid-career, tenure-track, ornontenure-track, do not think of themselves as entrepreneurial, it is imperative that one isentrepreneurially minded (EM) to succeed in academia. The tasks that a faculty membercompletes each day: teaching, obtaining research dollars, managing and recruiting students

introduced faculty to the framework of entrepreneurially minded learning (EML) centered on curiosity,connections, and creating value. The workshops promoted evidence-based pedagogical best practices andparticipants experienced different active learning techniques that can be applied to instill the entrepreneurialmindset in students at their home institution. Following the workshops, faculty were provided with ongoingcoaching and support comprised of two individual coaching sessions and two small-group Community of Practicecoaching sessions. Coaching sessions included in this study were led by a four-member, intercollegiate coachingteam comprised of experts in engineering education, EML classroom integration, and instructional effectiveness.This WIP

To extend thebest educational practices for engineering outside the US, there is a high need to identify thebarriers to teaching and learning engineering effectively in a specific country’s cultural andsocietal settings and address them through that specific cultural lens.

Unfortunately, teaching development is a process that tendsto be ignored by departments and left to the university or college. Our university has a requiredtraining program for new teaching assistants, but only an optional series of teaching-relatedworkshops for new faculty. In engineering, our faculty do not participate at a high rate in theuniversity teaching center sessions, so the college program is key to their success as instructors.The weekly lunch sessions also provide a relaxed atmosphere to connect with other newinstructors and build a community of like-minded faculty who are struggling
other underrepresented populations [9] [10]. Whilethere is an equal likelihood of Latinx students graduating from either Hispanic-ServingInstitution (HSIs) or Predominantly White Institutions (PWIs) [11], there is a positive correlationof higher Latinx student engagement and motivation at HSIs [12]. Therefore, with this positivecorrelation in mind and the fact that HSIs educate about a third of Latinx engineering graduatesin the United States, careful examination of HSI faculty’s ability to foster motivation couldprovide valuable insights to help increase the representation of diverse populations in the futureSTEM workforce [13], [14], [15].HSIs are two- and four-year higher-education institutions enrolling 25% or more Latinx students[15

This surveycaptured both faculty and student responses, although faculty responses were not used at the be-ginning of the pandemic as most efforts were placed on helping students. A total of 113 facultyresponded to this survey, and those responses are discussed here.The Engineering Education Faculty Group (EEFG) began meeting weekly during the pandemicto support each other. During these meetings, the members of the EEFG would share variousmethods that they were using in their own online classes and the struggles or successes that theywere experiencing.

The five lessons learnedpresented below represent preliminary findings of a larger analysis on the politics, processes, andpotential involved in institutional change.Lessons Learned(1) Not all faculty members consistently felt included, nor invited to the tableSome of the faculty members felt that they were already engaged in this type of work, but did notconsider themselves to be a part of this concentrated institutional change effort. These includedboth faculty who were already involved with individual initiatives that align with this changeeffort and also new faculty who were hired with this change initiative in mind

Prior teaching experience for some faculty may consist of their experience as teaching associates during their undergraduate or graduate education or from observing other faculty. Many faculty, especially those in research institutions (R1), may not have taken a course dedicated to teaching engineering students such as the ‘College Teaching in Engineering’ course offered at The Ohio State University. 3. Even for those faculty who have background knowledge on JEDI in the classroom, training can help grow their confidence as inclusive-minded instructors.Therefore, to initiate a change in the
