extrinsic. Intrinsic barriers arepersonal to oneself, while extrinsic barriers stem from factors outside the researcher. The termbarrier implies an unyielding obstacle that cannot be overcome. In reality, many obstacles couldbe considered "permeable" if opportunities (or "inlets") are carefully sought by the motivatedengineering education researcher. Figure 1. Summary of authors' barriers to enter EERAmong the researcher's intrinsic barriers include: (a) level of motivation, (b) time constraints toacquire sufficient knowledge to submit competitive grant proposals, and (c) lack of interimresearch productivity while learning EER. Even if engineering faculty can overcome theirintrinsic barriers, they may face extrinsic

Exceeding Standards - must go above and beyond meeting A 4 standards or is perfectWhile the instructor liked the idea of grading on standards and has kept it as part of thegrade, it was difficult to compute the grade, especially the final grade, solely onstandards. For starters, the standard grades should be averaged rather than expressed as apercentage or as a percentage of a total. Canvas will only calculate the percentage of atotal and not average assignment grades in a rubric. This method of

came prepared to discuss the module content,regardless of whether they overtly responded to the questions in the forum, it seemed to be areasonable decision to eliminate the “mandatory” nature of the forum post activity. This wasreinforced by participants’ feedback that indicated they saw these written posts as “make work”tasks.To better serve the needs of the GTA participants, the Nature of Learning module (T1M2) inthe original professor PD program was divided into two parts. Part A focused on lessonintroduction and the first 5 minutes whereas Part B emphasized lesson planning and creatingeffective learning outcomes. It should be noted that the concept of a lesson plan and a lessonplan template were provided in the program orientation session

did not meet their [the TA’s]self-determined length.In this example the dissent came in both the form of legitimate dissent [33] (the quiz was overlycomplicated—it covered too much disparate material) and personal attacks (the coordinatorneeded instruction from the TA about how to be an instructor) [30]. To help resolve the dissent,the two-step strategy was deployed as follows: 1. Provide an avenue for dissent to occur and be addressed. a. Distribute the quiz in advance of the meeting for the TAs to review and provide comments. b. Encourage comments/criticism on the materials at the weekly meeting. 2. Establishing leadership boundaries between that emphasize both authority and respect. a. Do not

determine (1) whether studentengagement with UDL tools is self-informative and (2) to assess whether these interactions can beused to detect engagement changes. Two key UDL components are studied: (a) digital forms,which facilitate non-graded participation and formative feedback, and (b) multimedia tools thatprovide accessible, self-paced learning opportunities. Student interactions are analyzed usingauto-regressive models, including ARIMA, SARIMA, and advanced machine learning methodslike GRU and CatBoost. The study also employs Pruned Exact Linear Time (PELT) to detectsignificant engagement shifts. Findings suggest that student interaction data predicts futureengagement, with GRU performing best in minimizing absolute errors and ARIMA excelling
