indicators of the likelihood that students will complete theirengineering education and stay in the engineering profession over the long run. We can theninfer whether the intern program is contributing toward the two DoE goals and the Justice40objective. The survey results will also provide an indirect ABET assessment of our engineeringprograms.Over the coming years, our team will establish a cadence of candidate recruitment, programoperation, survey administration, and analysis of survey results. Survey results will be used toimprove program operations, improve data collection, and inform our evaluation of the DoE andJustice40 goals. Our team will follow up on this WIP with subsequent ASEE publications thatreport on the assessment

The Advocates group atMarquette was thus formed in Fall 2019 [11]. While the specific focus of the ADVANCEProgram at MU is on (i) equitable and inclusive faculty recruiting and (ii) improving departmentclimate, the Advocates’ primary goal is to develop best-practices that involve men faculty foraddressing gender equity

and BackgroundDespite decades of targeted effort and resources, women remain dramatically underrepresentedin engineering fields (Yoder, 2012) and this underrepresentation can lead to a number ormarginalizing experiences. Researchers have demonstrated the ways in which masculine normsand values are reflected in engineering practice and therefore code the discipline as male(Dryburgh, 1999; Secules, 2019). At the same time, technical/social dualisms map intomale/female binaries in ways that inform and support beliefs about what counts as engineeringwork and what is peripheral to the practice (Faulkner, 2000, 2007). These factors combine towhat amounts for an unwelcoming or chilly climate for women in most engineering fields(Ambrose, Bridges

National Science Foundation (NSF) ADVANCE Catalyst grant. OurCatalyst grant team is comprised of a multi-disciplinary group of researchers leveraging expertisein quantitative and qualitative assessment in the social sciences, engineering, policy, and academicleadership. Our comprehensive data gathering effort seeks to assess equity in recruitment, hiring,renewal, promotion, and tenure activities at a large R1 public institution for both tenure-line andterm (contingent) faculty. We place an intersectional emphasis on this analysis, examining whetherinstitutional practices yield disparate outcomes on faculty not just along lines of gender and race,but also unique combinations thereof.The prior ASEE paper [1] focused on the data gathering effort for

This mindset distinction was particularly important for theauthors’ department as it also aligned well with efforts to infuse character education in theirundergraduate engineering department [12], [13].In this context, the authors and their department have engaged with the Kern EngineeringEducation Network (KEEN) to adapt pedagogies that enhance EM to promote inclusion towardsimproved student self-efficacy and motivation. The KEEN framework postulates the “three C’s”of EM: curiosity, connections and creating value [14]. This framework is used extensively withinthe ASEE community. Beyond sharing pedagogical approaches or specific course outcomes, theframework has linked EM to ABET [15], program assessment [16
