members to navigate the complexities of academia confidently, fostering personal andprofessional growth while enhancing the educational and research experiences of their students andcolleagues.1 IntroductionThe transition into academia as a new faculty member marks the beginning of a challenging yetrewarding journey[1]. For many individuals, this period represents a significant shift from therole of a student or postdoctoral researcher to that of an educator, scholar, and contributor tothe academic community. As new faculty members navigate the complexities of their roles, theyencounter various responsibilities and expectations, ranging from teaching and research to serviceand mentorship. Effectively managing these demands while striving for

also point out the variation among those who educate in engineering (tenured/tenure-trackfaculty, graduate students, and contingent/adjunct faculty), which is not always acknowledged.By not paying attention to such variation, the impact of work done in engineering educationresearch may be limited. In an effort to illuminate these variations, we report on research thatexplores some details of the educator experience. In this paper we ask: what does it look like tobe an educator working to adapt an existing curriculum for a new term, in our case a curriculumpreviously taught in Autumn 2021 and adapted for use in Winter 2022? Broadly, the curriculumwas a 10-week seminar titled Dear Design: Defining Your Ideal Design Signature where

shift is evident in the discussion andimplementation of various ‘non-traditional’ grading models such as standards-based grading[15], student self-assessment and grading [16], and the adoption of other “ungrading” [17]approaches or recommendations.Engineering education is an exciting field in which we are often encouraged and rewarded forclassroom and assessment innovations that break the mold of traditional engineering education.Early-career engineering faculty members are uniquely positioned such that they are newlyresponsible for design and delivery of engineering courses while also not being so far removedfrom our own educational experience that we can remember our personal educationalexperiences and the impact that various aspects of our

This took the form of semi-structured conversation andquestioning investigating other evidence-based pedagogical practices the instructor hassuccessfully implemented in the classroom.MethodologyThis article can be characterized as an autoethnographic study. In autoethnography, theresearcher relates their lived experiences[4], and provides “highly personalized accounts thatdraw upon the experiences of the author/researcher to extend sociological understanding”[5, p.21].

, emotional, andbehavioral dimensions. In addition, it seeks to guarantee students an education under theSustainable Development Goal (SDG) #4 (Quality Education), with the necessary skills andknowledge to promote sustainable development, including peace, non-violence, genderequality, and cultural appreciation [2]. However, these competencies are often not easilymodeled in a conventional classroom with specific or limited problem situations. One strategyfor meeting these high demands is Collaborative International Online Learning (COIL),particularly the Global Shared Learning Classroom (GSLC) approach. GSLC is acollaboration between two or more faculty members from different geographic locations orcountries through technology to teach similar or
