Experience Survey was developed at theUniversity of Washington (UW) and builds upon an Undergraduate Student Experience Surveywhich was originally designed at the UW. The Undergraduate Survey was expanded by theWomen in Engineering Program Advocates Network and administered to 29 institutions[27].The web-based Graduate Survey explores the extent to which graduate students feel comfortableand supported in their department. It asks questions about classroom experiences, laboratoryexperiences, department climate, professional development, relationships with faculty andmentors, academic program status and work/family balance. Additionally there is a questionabout career aspirations, and multiple demographic questions including marital status, children

IntroductionA number of graduate engineering programs in the U.S. have agreements with foreign countriesto educate a cohort of students who receive government support to complete a doctoral degree inthe U.S. A common arrangement is for participating students to commit to returning to theirhome institution as a faculty member. Such programs create a unique scenario for doctoraltraining because the students know where their academic path leads them after graduation.Yet, there is an absence of literature on the in-doctoral preparation and post-doctoral transition ofinternational

A study of an entire graduateacademic community at an R1 STEM department shows that communicating about science withpeers, talking about teaching hurdles, and engaging in mentoring relationships contribute heavilyto a sense of belonging [8]. Fostering community and creating channels for communication withgraduate students and their peers and faculty members could provide these opportunities tocirculate information about career opportunities, attract job recruiters, and lead to perceivedacademic success.To assess community needs, this study uses community-led, stakeholder-centric, participatoryresearch.

Many faculty report seekingfeedback from their PLFs as they make instructional decisions. Taking this further, some haveargued that students should be co-designers. However, engaging teams of students and faculty inthis way presents a clear power imbalance [24], but one that researchers have asserted can beovercome by positioning students as collaborators and discussing points of view and insightsgained from these different vantage points. Others have argued that because of the powerdynamics, an intermediary such as an expert in teaching and learning is needed to formsuccessful student-faculty design partnerships [25

While one approach to the ethicseducation of engineers involves separate courses in philosophy of ethical decision making, wecontend a better way to teach ethics to first-year engineering students might be to situate it in theeveryday decisions of engineers as they do their work in realistic scenarios while considering thepersonal and social consequences of their decisions by role-playing.Richly contextualized cases have been used to supplement the more purely philosophicalapproaches to engineering ethics education, but are often presented as third-person narrativesrather than as active first-person role-playing scenarios.

This approach aimsto transform the traditional view of students as passive consumers of education to active participantsin the learning and decision-making process [3]. The key features of this concept are collaboration inboth the process and output, transformative interaction, learner empowerment, a sense of communityand partnership in learning, and value.

Thehalf-life of an engineer's technical skills - how long it takes for half of everything anengineer knows about the field to become obsolete - is becoming strikingly short. Thepace of technological change has also imposed new challenges on faculty developmentand technical currency programs. Faculty professional development activities andtechnical currency play an important role in promoting student learning and success.Especially for non-research (purely teaching) institutions that offer technology drivenprograms, one of the most important factors determining student success is the technicalcurrency of faculty members.
