We report ourpreliminary insights that 1) participants experienced complex and manifold socially constructedexpectations that form the basis of their professional shame experiences and 2) participants’experiences of professional shame varied according to how central their roles as faculty were totheir identities.

) Background Commitment to Learning Instilled by a Mastery-Based Undergraduate Program (CLIMB-UP) is an NSF IUSE:HSI project centered on re-designing courses with high non-completionrates (C- or lower) that have implications towards students’ graduation, transfer ability andretention. Despite decades of effort to create active, inquiry-based learning practices inclassrooms, our institution continues to see equity gaps and many required courses with non-completion rates exceeding 50%. Grading practices have been identified as one of the mainculprits in the persistence of equity gaps. Feldman [1] asserted that “... the traditional system ofevaluating students and reporting information about them has been part of the inequities,unfairness, and

Abstract. Computing is everywhere, and the first programming language course, generally called CS1 (Computer Science 1 course), is usually taught by departments of Computer Science to undergraduate students majoring in various subjects. However, the high failure rate in these introductory programming courses is an issue that challenges several universities. In this context, this work-in-progress presents an intervention proposal focused on the class for students majoring in Mathematics. In conjunction with the Department of Mathematics, a CS1 course has been created with adaptations to the course content for the context of Mathematics. The initial validation, performed on mathematics undergraduate students, showed good

The research record typically consists of a mixture of quantitativeinformation (such as external grant revenue, number of publications or awards, h-index, etc.),categorical variables (such as the prestige of PhD and postdoctoral training institution), andqualitative assessments about the quality and novelty of research.There are two fundamental challenges associated with the evaluative

As early as the 1940s, engineering professionals articulated afocus on public safety, health, and welfare. The Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology (ABET) solidified this focus when it adopted criteria requiring that ethicalresponsibility be included in curricula of accredited institutions [1]. As a result, college textbookauthors soon began to include information about professional and ethical responsibility in theirpublications [2].
