University Elliott Clement is a doctoral student at Oregon State University. His current research is using grounded theory to understand identity and motivation within the context of capstone design courses. He is also part of a research team investigating context-specific affordances and barriers faculty face when adopting evidence-based instructional practices in their engineering courses.Dr. Prateek Shekhar, New Jersey Institute of Technology Prateek Shekhar is an Assistant Professor - Engineering Education division at New Jersey Institute of Technology. His research is focused on examining translation of engineering education research in prac- tice, assessment and evaluation of dissemination initiatives and
linguistic diversity of these facultymembers, we aim to enhance the academic community's capacity for innovation and globalengagement. This exploration is more than a mere examination of the challenges at hand; it is anacknowledgment and celebration of the rich, diverse contributions that international faculty maketo U.S. higher education. Through this comprehensive analysis, we seek to offer meaningfulinsights into professional development for international faculty, contributing to the evolution ofglobal engineering and humanitarian design in a world that is increasingly interconnected.3.
